faulty
Thank you.
So I now have three bits of information, all of which I have good reason to believe:
1)
Me: My aircraft felt fine and performed fine, both on two engines and with the right feathered. There was no tendency for the aircraft to fly in circles and the needles all sat on top of one another.
2)
Engineers: During a compression test, 10 pots were fine, but two, both on the left engine, had zero compression. I have worked with the same engineers for years and I know them to be totally truthful and reliable.
3)
faultygoods: The left engine
must have been operating at 60% power or less.
I must say that when I made the posting I already suspected that this was the case, hence the original question.
Can you, or anyone else, reconcile these bits of apparently irreconcilable data?
The only logical suggestions are that the two pots lost compression during the taxi in, or that the tests that showed zero compression were not done properly, but both seem vanishingly unlikely!
