…except I once had someone thinking I saying Gayline!!!

I think you’re right. A retractable one.

That’s not a blue tint of water, it’s hydraulic fluid pi55ing out again causin another ATP gear hang up!!! 😉

I seem to remember SkyCruiser knowing Handling The Big Jets inside out before his Cathay interview!

Good luck with ‘Handling the big jets’, it’s seriously heavy going, even for us! It’s considered to be the standard book to swot up on prior to an interview to get your tech knowledge back up to par.

PS only Tom Cruise and PPL’s wear Ray Ban aviators. Sorry! The coolest dudes in my outfit are all into Oakleys.

The uncommanded engine power loss is referred to as rollback and I have the official BAe systems training video on how to deal with it right here beside me. It is icing linked. The 146 was designed (as you all probably know) to be a twin engine aeroplane using the motors from the VFW614 but they were no longer available when it finally got put in production. The only suitable solution available was to use 4 smaller motors. For anti-icing purposes compressed air (which is hot due to being compressed) is drawn off from the engines just before the combustion chambers which is then fed to the leading edges of the wings and tail surfaces to prevent ice build up. In certain icing conditions (bearing in mind that the 146 doesn’t have adequate performance to get above the icing) the anti-icing system starts robbing the engine of so much bleed air that the engines start losing power! The only option is to descend to warmer temperatures where there are less demands on the anti-icing system. Just hope you’re not over mountains at the time!

I went into LGAV shortly after it opened. Beautiful set up but the turnaround service was apalling. Mind you we got an excellent departure that took us over the Acropolis at a reasonably low level!
