ASA -700 Loses Engine After TO in MEM

[Max Q]

FishNFly must be referring to the "Low Speed Cue" (Red/Black Checkerboard).

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.

And the plot thickens...

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.

LTG, you laughed at it??? (jiggle)

OMG, 1 mistake a year and I get hung out to dry......

It was funny.......

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!

All this stuff you guys say, is just funniest I've heard for a while....

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.
