Jet engine clicking while windmilling on ground

[Tommay85]

Yeah good habit for sure... The igniter spark is definitely enough to keel you!

I've done idiotic things, like grab broken spark plug wires when troubleshooting a misfire on a car. That kind of shock freezes your hand to it. Errplane ignition sounds a bit more potent than that even.

I know this has been covered before, but I can't find it under searching. While a jet is sitting on the ground shut down, I'll hear a consistent clicking. What is that?

Playing card hitting the fan blades. It sounds really cool when going faster.

Bad stuff starts happening when the blades rub against the interior of the engine cowling.

I just finally got an answer from a Bombardier Tech Pilot last month about the loud popping noise we hear on the CRJ every once in a while during climb out is. Turns out it's the wing attachment bolts shifting slightly. That's comforting.

Is that migrating bushings? I was told that at Comair. Never knew if it was true or not.
