Dirkster Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 On two occasions now, the engines cut out immediately after take-off. In both cases, I took off from PANC on RWY 33. Flex temperature set to zero. Engine anti-ice set to on. Nav and profile armed. Not sure what is going on here, what did I miss? Did anyone else have this happen to them? (Slats/Flaps set to 15/15, trim set as well, still very sluggish to raise the nose though) Dirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ual763 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 (edited) What was the ambient temperature outside? A flex temperature of 0 unheard of. Not sure if this would be the cause an engine failure in sim, but it's worth considering. Did the EFB spit out that Flex temp.?

ual763 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I guess 0 flex isn't impossible, but it is very suspect. Robert Schumacher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirkster Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 Hello, yes, outside temperature was a -2°, the flex temp of 0° a result of the EFB calculation. Dirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ual763 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 You had said this was the 2nd time this happened. Was the first time in similar conditions? Robert Schumacher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirkster Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 Yes, very similar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ual763 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Interesting. Well, it's worth a shot in the dark, but if you wanted to test a 3rd time, try manually turning the flex temp knob to perhaps 35 Celsius, just for testing purposes. 1 Robert Schumacher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Account Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Heya! Just tested this at PANC as well, my engines didn't turn off.. Just to make sure, do you have any keybind on your yoke etc for mixture? If so, remove that while flying the A300 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirkster Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 I will try this again, upping the flex temperature maybe. Quite certain I don’t have any button assigned from mixture et cetera on the yoke. Certainly didn’t assign one myself. Certainly didn’t assign one myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
