Hi,
I'm an enthusiast and not a pilot, please excuse me if I'm talking nonsense. Couldn't find any information on this elsewhere.
Is it normal for CRJ900 engine to emit clunking sound when spooling down? If no, is this indicating something dangerous?
Two weeks ago I was on a Copenhagen-Wroclaw SAS flight (operated by CityJet I think) in a CRJ900. Wind in Wroclaw was very strong and the pilots didn't manage to land on two approaches and decided to go back to Copenhagen. As far as I know all other flights made a successful landing that day in Wroclaw. When back on the ground in Copenhagen after disembarking the aircraft I noticed that left engine was emitting loud clunking sound. This made me think if there was something wrong with it and if the captain made a decision to not to try again/wait based on some abnormal engine parameters.
Thank you,
Tadeusz.
