Engine Won't Shutdown?

[doodenkoff]

Ever experienced the case where after closing all of the circuit breakers the engine won't shutdown? Just keeps on running. The engine shutdown switch does nothing either.

No, because I never tried to turn off all the circuit breakers without turning off the engine first. I shut down the aircraft by the book a few times yesterday and it worked fine.

 

Turning off all the electrics shouldn't kill the engine. All the engines I know are designed to work in case of total electric failure. Furthermore, the Stop Engine button may not work without the Battery and Engine CBs.

I always use fuel cutoff lever

Always use "Stop" position on my Warthog Throttle (corresponding at RAlt+End):music_whistling:

The manual recommends pulling the throttle into stop or using the stop engine button, in both cases before you turn off the battery and engine cb.

Turns out, I had been away from flying the L-39 for so long that I completely forgot the "throttle stop" step to killing the engine. Thanks for the reminders. :)
