C207 Flameout???

[Checkerboard]

The latest air safety mag has a short safety brief on a C207 having an "engine flame-out".

Forgive me if i am wrong but dont flame outs refer to turbine aircraft? Or is the term also used for piston? Have they got the aircraft type wrong here, do they mean C208?????:confused:

Havent seen the article, but may be refering to the soloy c207, an allison powered turbine version of the 207. None in aus to my knowledge. However there in a soloy 206, and up until a few years ago there was also a soloy 210.

Have to admit that my eyebrows shot up when I read that too! I always thought that term was only applicable to turbine/jet aircraft. Same publication also has (in the recently completed investigations bit) has Mount Gambier listed as being in NSW!!

Further to this, I have just looked up this incident on the ATSB website. The aircraft was VH-EHL, which is a normal 207 - no Soloy conversion.
