SkyWest flight catches fire at Nashville Airport

[FloridaLarry]

Hot start at 6:34 in the morning? Even in Nayushvulle?

 

[derg]

S'mores.

Come on sir, it's Brazilian Churrasco time with that epic fire!

 

[Malko]

S'mores.

 

[Max Power]

Fuel is so cheap we're just lighting it on fire. Even on the CRJ!

 

[Burrito]

Fire sale on CRJs...get 'em while they're hot.

 

[ComplexHiAv8r]

I'm confused how a hot start is eliminated because #2 was started first? Just trying to figure out your logic.

Usually #2 is started with the tug still attached on pushback. FFOD would start #1 first but #2 isn't far behind per procedure.

It looks like the ramper is doing "The Soulja Boy" dance.

Yooooooooou!

I heard now the FAA is going to make you guys wait till 25% n2 before you introduce fuel.

 

[Screaming_Emu]

Nobody's actually that stupid, are they? I mean I get that we all make mistakes at work, me more than anyone else. But that's like forgetting to flare and collapsing the gear level stuff.

C'mon, you've been doing this long enough to know the answer to that.

Contributing factor: the 700/900 arms the ignition automatically, the 200 doesn't.

NO. IT'S EXACTLY ANALOGOUS TO FLYING DRUNK. JUST PURE CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE. A PROFESSIONAL PILOT DOES NOT MAKE MISTAKES. EVER.

Or, ya know, the APU caught fire for some reason.

 

[Cal Goat]

I am guessing, but maybe bleed air ducting length causes a longer start on #1, which could lead to warmer starts, and even a hot start?

Nah, the APU sits right between the 2 engines. No difference in start length, normally.

 

[Cal Goat]

According to legend, if it had been a late ignition introduction, they probably would have just dry motored the affected engine for a minute and then started over again with the ignition on from the beginning.

This is the most winning in a thread full of win.

Yeah. That thing shoots flames on the regular.

 

[deadstick]

So they just MEL'd the APU, put the pax back on, and continued?

 

[ctab5060X]

Yeah. That thing shoots flames on the regular.

Yet tampers continue to stand in the exhaust area during the winter in an attempt to stay warm.

 

[RobertB]

Any selfie pics from passengers yet?!?

Some day they'll be warm for the rest of their lives.

It's like flying around an MD-90 all month and then you get swapped into an -88…

"Aww crap… ignition… DON'T TOUCH IT! AAAAAAUGH" *THUMP*
