Spacehamster Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 I was taking off with my F5 and right after take-off, I noticed the plane trying to roll very hard to the left. I looked at my gauges and the left engine was completely shut down. Then after a minute of flying it suddenly kicked in, and the plane stabilized. However the exhaust temperature gauge of my left engine was stuck at 10, way past the marked 7-8. It was completely stuck there, it did not oscillate or move back when I lowered the throttle. The RPM gauges however did work. And they showed different values for both engines. 1. What happened? 2. What caused it?
Golo Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 Maybe bird strike on left engine on take off? The engine could experience some damage resulting in high ITT, low RPM possible shut-down. If you keep your throttle lever in max afterburner it attempts airstart again as you experienced, and high ITT, low RPM again. Whatch your instruments on take off and move your affected engine throttle to idle/off.
