Engines cutting out immediately after takeoff

Featured Replies

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)

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.?

I guess 0 flex isn't impossible, but it is very suspect.

Hello,

 

yes, outside temperature was a -2°, the flex temp of 0° a result of the EFB calculation.

You had said this was the 2nd time this happened.  Was the first time in similar conditions?

Robert Schumacher

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.

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.
