If sumping would be the problem, that would mean every airplane with the with the same JT15D-5 enignes would be flaming out. The BJ is not the only airplane with these engines. On top of this, if sumping was to be the major culprit every jet flying would be in danger of flaming out. Has anyone noticed a airline pilot out there sumping their airplane. In consideration they do fly a lot, but they don't fly continously.B1900FO said:I'm doing contract work on a Beechjet now and the guy I'm flying with told me that it was because guys weren't sumping their fuel tanks. We sumped ours before a trip the other day and got quite a bit of water out of them. I could be all wrong but I do believe it's because the water would freeze and then when it would get to the engine, it flamed out.
Correct me if i'm wrong...

The reason for the 2nd is still unknown.
