Double Engine Failure with Jennifer Lawrence onboard

""But anytime you have both engines on a twin engine airplane stop working, it obviously has the potential for disaster," he said."

Man, who'da thunk.

Good job, flight deck sistren/brethren. Unless you ran out of gas or did something stupid. In which case: "Awesome save! You're fired."

The beach jet is notorious for dual engine failures due to its lack of a fuel oil heat exchanger. The solution was you must always use prist.

Uh. Nope. The fuel oil heat exchangers were moved pre HMU and prist wasn't required even though folks still used it.

The 2 dual flameouts were attributed to ice accumulation aft of the fan on the LP stators. The fix was always to use engine heat pre reduction of power on descent. There was some other limitation about engine heat and within X miles of convective activity.

I'm not sure "notorious" is quite right. It happened a couple of times about a decade ago. I'm not aware of one since, although I stand open to correction. IMS, the "fix" was as Dugie suggested. I know we were always uh let's call it "liberal" with the engine heats. The thing which always gave me pause is that those engines are on a number of airplanes, yet no similar events (that I'm aware of) on any Citations, for example.
 
Looks like she didn't volunteer as tribute

Heats on in the decent isn't taught anymore. Just the standard when in or near visible moisture. There was a AD that rerouted some bleed lines. Still a few old timers who turn the heats on before reducing power but not needed anymore.
 
Beechjet? Somehow, she's just not that hot anymore...Always pictured her a LearJet girl. (And not one of them "real" Lears either, I'm talking Bombardier)

They finally got rid of that! Almost 10 years flying that thing, I said "engine heat" more than I said "steak, medium rare"

Fracking beechjets.....
