In the A380, after an engine has failed, does the telemetry for that engine still get transmitted? Limitations on windmilling I heard about, on a different and older design engine, were to do with ancillaries, like pumps and generators etc. that were driven by the engine and relied on the engine oil supply to function properly, might overheat if the oil supply and/or pressure dropped below an acceptable value and led to seizure of the ancillary component and damage to the engine. Functioning telemetry might well be able to monitor this thus removing any set time limit for windmilling?
