Engine failure during take-off at CPH.

[olivier737]

Did anyone hear about a Bluebird Cargo Boeing 737 having had an engine failure (and stall) during take-off last night in CPH?

Any additional infos?

[despegue]

Heard the communication on Kastrup.
They declared an urgency and asked for vectors back to land in CPH.
All very professionally handled by the Bluebird crew and ATC.

Rumoured to be a severe damage of the HP compressor.

Well trained pilots :D

Does anybody knows if they do single engine taxi out?

Check Six Krueger...

They probarly did a single engine taxi in:}

I don't know of any 737 CFM operators who do single engine taxi out ...

And do you know why?

On the 737 more than 40% N1 is not recommended with taxi speeds below 10 knots, due to risk of FOD.
On taxi out up to 40% N1 on both engines might be required as “brake away thrust” on a fully loaded 737.
If only one engine is operating, much more than 40% N1 is required and risk for FOD is severely increased.
In case of a severe CTOT, we might taxi out on both engines, then shut them down and do a restart when it is time to take off. Normally the delay should be more than 15 minutes if a shut down is done. Remember not to shut down the APU. Saving is lost, if the APU has to be restarted!

On taxi in single engine is only recommended if taxi time is more than 3 minutes, and no full stops are expected.

Thanks Walder:ok:

Well, if Boeing design an aircraft with its engines (knuckles?!) dragging on the floor it's not surprising they're worried about pebble-dashing. Not an issue on the Airbus. :ouch:
