You can look up the readers digest version if that means something to you. I would use the company checklist.

Now that's funny......What would, for example, your past employer (CHC) have in it's checklist for flames caused by a fuel surge malfunction?

Roll throttle to idle then to off. Reset switches. That would be for a fuel surge. Flames? well that's different than surging. That's an engine fire.

Well doing this, what would you be doing with the collective?........And no, surging excess fuel will cause spectacular flames, but not an engine fire......

Why do you keep challenging OGFT on his flying skills? It seems like your mandate here is to test a poster as to the validity of his experience? If you don't believe him why don't you just ignore him. Perhaps you are the one with a made up persona.

I would put the collective to se power, and roll the offending engine to flight idle and then select manual fuel and the bring that engine back up to speed with the throttle. Done it before. Never saw any flames. What would you do?

How would you see flames on a 212?

Thanks. I try only to relate back to my flying background when it may be pertinent. There are a lot of proffessionals on this web who I enjoy learning from. Apparently I could use some spelling practice as well!

Namely because he questioned mine with his referral to APU and an in-flight engine shutdown and relight procedures….the use of a APU to restart an engine in-flight, and in this case with a helicopter, is a both a standard manufactures and military end user flight safety procedure.
What On Guard for thee is trying to describe is a cross-bleed start, which on a helicopter will create a significant power loss on the one stable engine…..not a very good idea with a helicopter.

Well you might see them with your eyes. How 'bout that? Or, you may have an indication from a fire light.

How would one visually see one's own engines in a Bell 212? :rolleyes:

"cross bleed start" Have no idea what that is supposed to mean. A 212 has no APU in flight other than a battery. You are so full of bullshit it is coming out your ears. I have about 6000 hours in a 212. I think I know by now how they work. You must be drunk.

The above is a violation of forum rules. Please do not post personal attacks against other members.

Derek is continually questioning OGFT's flying experience which is basically calling him a liar. That is also against forum rules.

Once again, thanks. Ya know what is kinda fun about this is, perhaps some or even many of my wading into various discussions on here I feel I have to search for backups to backup my ideas or feelings, on this one I have a lot at my fingertips.I'm sure Wilber will will back me up when I say a career in aviation tends to imbed itself. As I'm sure many other paths do.

Where did I say different? So again how does one see their own engines in a 212?

When did asking questions in a discussion forum become a violation?

Coming from you? ;)

I like to believe my minutia is related to the topic at hand... and yours... this particular example has what to do with this thread, with the F-35?
