Well I am sure the failure of an engine that produces little thrust....as a 'turbo dryer' on a 146 does, then I should hope that no-one notices...
whearas on a dash Q400 the other engine produces 50% of the thrust.

was on a 146 back in the mid 80's GCI to JER was totaly un aware of the shut down of the no:4 engine just after becoming airborne, we used to refer to them as 14Sicks back then, not so much now as there are other newer aircraft around with teething troubles, no doubt the alleged snags with the "newish" DH-8 Q400 will be a thing of the past in years to come

Woof etc: No, just a passenger who had to pay full fare as there was no staff deal available at the time, I did not mention the fact in the earlier post, that I was stuck in JER airport for 5 hours waiting for another 14sick (146) to arrive from LGW, to replace the Tech one & when we finaly departed, to cap it all off I got off loaded in CWL as they decided to terminate the service there, to get the aircraft back on schedual & was sent via road back to BRS another 2 hours journey

Who keeps deleting my posts??
edit : Found them on the contamination thread. A short note to mention that's what had happened would have been nice

Windmilling fan? Er, don't think so. If you had said feathered prop, I might have believed that you were actually a pilot...
A colleague of mine was on Mondays flight from Southampton to Belfast City and he told me the left engine was rotating very slowly and grinding every revolution following its shutdown. I suspect it was propwash from the working engine
Not a happy boy, he now wants to take the ferry home rather than flying!
