tobbe490 Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 I cut off right fuel control in my Boing 777 to see what happens. But then I did not manage to start the engine again. How do I do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissCyul Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 Were you in the air when you did that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwissCyul Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 Ok, so you switch the fuel Valve back to "Run" and then rotate the starter switch for the engine on the Overhead to "Start". Check if your engine has enough air to be started. If not, you have to start the APU and use the APU bleed. You also need to be on an altitude that allows in-flight engine start, which is considerably lower than your cruising alt! The FL depends on the engine type. If you successfully restarted the engine, check if there is any fuel imbalance because of the missing consumer. If there is an imbalance, follow the "fuel balancing" checklist. And if you can't restart it, find the next adequate airport for an emergency landing!! Good luck!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
