sounds like they experienced transient compressor stalls on take off based on the memphis tv story. Or was this thread about 200hr FO's? I forget.

According to "witnesses" and emergency types, flames were "shooting out of the back of the engine". Flowboard shows it being airborne for 1 hr and 9 minutes before returning to MEM.

Sounds like Ship 720 is becoming the new "Christine". I think it's the same one that had the right thrust lever lock at idle in a descent below 10K inbound to ATL about a month ago.

Maybe, it was misreported--never happened before?

This thread lacks the serious Deets that I require!
 
How do you see flames shoot out the back of engine where your on a CRJ? That guys got awesome peripheral vision. Or maybe he was catching a ride in the aft equipment bay.
 
I hope it's connected to something!

It's FADEC so there's not a whole lot of mechanical stuff going on there, but as Oakum said there is a fuel shutoff latch (for lack of a better term) and a thrust reverser mechanism. I suppose one of these could have been the culprit.
 
no story here - fod damage to the compressor. stalled a few times and the crew shut it down. nicely done and well handled. engine will be changed per mtc.

At least yall have time to clean the seats in this aircraft before returning to service.
 
Agreed. These new guys consistently come within 10 of the barber pole. I've tried to explain to a few of them after saying "don't do that again... slow down..", but I think it's a futile effort.

I'm thinking he means on your pitch rotation. I've watched a few guys just yank back on the yoke and snap the nose up. I think the book says 3 degrees per second.
