I do not know any specific details about what happened or how it happened, but I can positively confirm that an engine did indeed flame out on a Ricci Rocket on the way into FXE.

How many dual engine failures have their been on the Beechjets? I recall two -were they both FLOPsies?

Come on Slowtation give us more deets.

Remember when - 2006.

Slowtation, did you look at the flightaware tracklog on that aircraft? Looks like they did a rapid descent and bounced off the ocean back up to 6000 feet. Those tracklogs can appear erratic for whatever reason.

Wonder what really happened.

Sounds like they did a go around at 1005, landed runway 26 at around 1012 or so. LiveATC.net.

I do not have any more details other than a positive confirmation that an engine did flame out. I included the flightaware link so people could see the track log. There have been 2 other flameouts at Flops.

Ricci Rocket is a term coined by Flops pilots for the Nextant 400xt, due to the fact that Kenn Ricci is the owner of Nextant, so, Ricci Rocket.

The other 2 flameouts were dual engine loss on the old Raytheon BeechJets, with JT-15D's. HBC made a design change as a fix. The RicciJet has Williams engines, so whatever the cause it'll be a different issue. Not that the NXT doesn't have plenty of its own reliability problems, from what I've heard. Not a surprise for a KR product - looks great on the outside, just don't look behind the curtain (or under the cowling).

Brilliant. Clever twist on the "Rice Rocket" moniker given to the Mitsubishi Diamond Jet's predecessor.

There's a PIG who can't decide what color lipstick suits it best. Haha.

Has the airplane arrived in FXE?
And if so (good for them anyway) ,
why did they continue to FXE?????

Listen to liveatc.net FXE tower on 10/9 between 1400 and 1430z. They did a go around on 26 because they were too high on approach (good decision making) followed by another successful attempt on 26 at around 1015 . Couldn't find Miami or JAX center comms.

Nice job crew, whatever the situation that caused the priority aircraft status according to tower.

According to flightaware the aircraft deviated around weather in VA /SC area, perhaps engine icing was a factor ?
