Hi Nightstop,
... could a flameout result at a high thrust setting?
When gravity fuel feeding, there is no such warning of engine misbehaviour in FCOM or QRH & according to
http://www.icao.int/Meetings/caaf200...9_IP012_en.pdf
"2.2.4.1 Engine transients:
....
• During transient manoeuvres preformed in normal feed and gravity feed with deaerated fuel, engine 1 showed correct behaviour: no stall or engine misbehaviour was observed."
Hi Microburst2002,
the procedure for gravity cross feeding by banking is exclusively laid out for the engine already lost scenario.
Correct. The procedure ensures that fuel will transfer from the opposite tank to your only running engine at a fast enough rate.
When both engines are being gravity fed & with the cross-feed valve open, fuel from the tank with the bigger contents will tend to be used faster (due to the greater "pressure head" of fuel.) However, there is nothing to stop you from accelerating the balance procedure.
Please show me where the max side slip is published when gravity fuel feeding?
