Holy smokes! CNN is reporting an airliner went down in the
Hudson
after departing LaGuardia. I heard something about
birdstrikes,
but
can't imagine a double engine failure due to that(?) They
sure picked a cold day to go swimming... Hope everybody is
ok...
Bird strikes are a leading cause of engine failure. Jet
engines
don't
often
fail all on their own.
Well, according to
http://www.aviationweek.com/aw/gener...y_channel.jsp?
channel=busav&
id=news/eng08036.xml
By the way, the study's authors noted that compressor
stalls/surges
account for two-thirds of the engine malfunctions in today's
turbofans. This is a change from earlier generation turbine
designs
in
which uncontained failures were the principal malfunction.
Since
stall/ surge is the primary engine malfunction, one would
assume
that
it would be a regular item during initial, recurrent or
simulator training. And yet, I cannot recall ever reviewing
the
matter or
being
exposed to a compressor stall/surge during a simulator
session.
I have, but only a couple of times and just to run through the
drill.Most checklists just have you retarding the throttle
and/or
shutting down anyhow.
Most times nowadays with high bypass fans it trashes the engine
straight
away, unlike the old JT8s and such which would fart away
happily
enough
until you pulled the thrust lever back.

Sounds like you, retarded and farting away.
Awww, maxie make a witty!
ROLF!
Tie me kangaroo down, sport.
What-ho, Squiffy?
