My S92 type rating has at least an inch of dust on it now so that's why I said "some very modern aircraft". Ah I miss the APU!
Didn't want to 'black cat' the discussion but I had the pleasure of a 120nm OEI (full shutdown) transit 2 weeks ago in an Italian machine with starter generators, and that's how I knew the Sat track was wired to a non essential busbar. When I looked afterwards, I could find no mention of this in the RFM supplement or component main manual. |
Fouled Runway? I suppose landing on a taxiway did not enter into the discussion at some point.
Having an aircraft overhead in the event of a Ditching....had Ditching been a concern....would not be a bad thing. Perhaps we are beginning to think we are Airplane Pilots and need long runways to land on when we come ashore. |
You don't 'foul a runway' by landing an S92 OEI! Why is that even being discussed? You simply taxi off and park and shutdown like any other flight.
|
Aside from which they were not OEI they reduced an engine to idle because of a chiplight.
They could, if twin engine power had been required, have returned the engine to "fly" on final. |
Also have you guys looked at the aerodrome chart for Sumburgh (EGPB), loads of options especially for a helicopter in the very unlikely event (I agree with 212man & Albatross) of "fouling a rwy"
I'm not saying what the other helicopter did was wrong, without knowing all the facts you can't make a meaningful statement either way. |
In the early days of the 332 we would have one flying back with an engine pulled back because of a spurious fire warning at least once a week.
Never bothered the papers. |

Any news/preliminary report about this incident?
|
Input chip caution came on, ECL followed and engine placed in idle. Caution extinguished after a while. Aircraft landed, no chip found. Aircraft returned to service.
Yawn. |
Don't they have fuzz burners like the S76 did.
|
Yes it does. Six automatic attempts before the caution illuminates.
|
Ukv1145, what you've written is wrong - the 92 sheds no services at all with a single generator failure, I suspect what you are thinking of is what you would lose with a dual gen failure and reliance on the APU gen only.
|
FC80. Yes I badly worded my post. Double gen fail will shed services as you point out.
The SAR variant will shed services (SAR specific services) on a single gen fail. No services are shed OEI. |

Did they find the brick in the washing machine ? |
"A loud bang followed by a noise that sounded like a brick going round in a washing machine coming from the engines. The noise was so concerning that one of the passengers approached the pilots to raise their concerns"
|
You don't 'foul a runway' by landing an S92 OEI! Why is that even being discussed? You simply taxi off and park and shutdown like any other flight. As long as your operational engine doesn't calf on approach. |
Maybe their simulator training exercises all ended when the aircraft was on the ground and stopped on the runway. Maybe they were never trained to taxi the aircraft off the runway after an OEI landing in the sim ;)
