QRH Eng Flame Out SOP on ATR 500 series
ENG FLAME OUT (QRH 2.10)
Memo items:
1) PL (affected)......FI
2) (pre-conditionally...) If NH drops below 30% (implies no immediate relight)
CL (affected side)....FTR then FSO.
Preconditions:
* if damage suspected
Fire handle affected side pull
Single Eng Operation procedure (2.04)....Apply
*if NO damage suspected
Eng Restart in flight procedure (2.08)....Apply
If unsuccessful
Single Eng Operation Procedure (2.04)....Apply
It would be interesting to time this procedure versus the time they had..added to the confusion that ensued that led to the throttling back and shutting down of Eng #1.
There is no QRH procedure I know of for uncommanded Feathering..only for prop Over speed and Lo Pitch in flight (whichs as I poointed earlier in this forum, is a memo item
PL affected .....Idle
CL affected ...FTR..FSO
If there were Abnormal Eng Parameters there is a QRH procedure that addreses that.
It involves trouble shooting with ATPCS OFF and with adequate flight situation..
PL affected ...FI
EEC affected side ...OFF
(If successful)
One EEC fault procedure ....(2.09)apply
(If unsuccessful)
-or if TQ=0% and NP<77%
PL affected side...FI
CL affected side....FTR...FSO
Single Eng Operation Procedure.... apply
Avoid sudden PL movements.
This all looks like a handful of SOP in the time and Altitude available.
The check Airman might have suggested the PF just flies the plane at VmLB0 and focus on flight path while the other 2 crew members purely run the checklist and ATC and Cabin communication.I don't know if they would have fared any better if the power producing engine was indeed shut down.
