ENGINE FAILURE
The above indications are typical of an
engine flameout/failure or rundown. No
apparent damage is evident, engine
spools down normally. No Airframe
vibration present.
The Engine in this situation is generally
considered acceptable for an Engine
Inflight start unless other conditions
would indicate damage such as noise,
smell etc.
The Engine Failure alert appears on the
EGT gauge when N2 drops below 50%.

ENGINE SEVERE DAMAGE
The above indications are typical of an
engine having severe damage / seizure.
This is recognisable by the lack of rotation
of the N1 and/or N2 gauge. Damage is
therefore evident.
The Engine in this situation is not suitable
for an Engine Inflight start attempt.
A condition such as this example would
regularly be accompanied by a noise /
bang or vibration.
The Engine Failure alert appears on the
EGT gauge when N2 drops below 50%.

ENGINE SEPARATION
The above indications are typical of an
engine Separation. This is recognisable
by the loss of signal to the engine
instrumentation.
Of course in this situation an Engine
Inflight start attempt is pointless.
A condition such as this example could
be accompanied by a noise / bang or
vibration etc.
Asymmetry associated with a separated
engine condition is generally less than
severe damage due to the removal of
drag from that wing.

ENGINE TURBINE BLADE FAILURE
The above indications are typical of an
engine turbine blade detaching from the
turbine. Effects can include a loud bang,
High or Rapidly rising EGT, High
vibrations at high thrust settings (see
VIB indicator), Decrease in N1 efficiency
and or decrease in available thrust.
Damage is therefore evident.
The Engine in this situation should be
shut down and is not suitable for an
Engine Inflight start attempt.
