- Chapter 4: Aerodynamic Factors › Types of Icing › Induction Icing
turbine engines is the icing of engine probes used to set power levels (for example, engine inlet temperature or engine pressure ratio (EPR) probes), which can lead to erroneous readings of engine instrumentation operational difficulties or total power loss ... atmospheric and flight conditions in which it forms. Significant structural icing on an aircraft can cause serious aircraft control and performance problems…

consider the variables that influence individual and crew performance for the purpose of optimizing human performance and reducing errors. Hung start. In gas turbine engines, a condition of normal light off but with rpm remaining at some low value rather ... normal idle rpm. This is often the result of insufficient power to the engine from the starter. In the event of a hung start, the engine should be shut down. Hydroplaning. A condition that exists when landing on a surface…

forward elevator trim cable and subsequent inadequate functional check of the maintenance performed resulted in a reversal of the elevator trim system and a loss of control in flight. Factors were the flight crew’s failure to follow the checklist ... inappropriate manual engine-start procedure, which led to the uncommanded opening of the left engine air turbine starter valve, and a subsequent left engine fire.
