That's a few mechanic boys having fun by pulling the ignitor circuit breakers, begin the start sequence, wait for it......then push the CB back in and woooshh...we have ignition. Not the best thing, but who cares when it's not your money.
The procedure in which the protective film is burnt off the blades etc is done in a controlled environment in prep facilities separately, to suggest that these runs are done on a million dollar plane is ridiculous!!! A risk not worth taking.
Its not plastic, its reservation oil in the system which is burned off the first time a new engine is installed on a plane. This is a totally normal maintenance run up.
Do those engines normally do that when they get run up on the stand before they are sent out to replace an old one or what? It seems like that shit should be done on a stand and not under a fuel-filled wing. Somebody tell me.
A 'fire' like this one isn't common, but it is not unusual to get a lot of smoke a few flames. Normally the engine preservative creates a lot of smoke, but this looks like a 'wet start' which is when the fuel is turned on before the engine is rotating fast enough to provide the correct air/fuel mixture for complete ignition. The fuel gets sprayed through the turbine section and normally makes a lot of smoke but it can ignite, like in this example.
The lower wing planks on a 737 are quite thick and are not likely to be damaged. A wet start can damage the turbine blades by causing spot heating/cooling. If a wet start is identified, the normal process is to shut the fuel supply off and igniters off and continue to motor the engine to "dry" the engine off. In this case, it would appear that the engine was allowed to keep running to 'burn' the excess fuel off.
It is common. When the engines are sent they are "pickled" meaning they have special oils in them to prevent rust in case the engine has to sit for a long time before being put into use. When the engine is first fired up these oils burn off. During the day its not so exciting so the techs will wait until after dark for the first run so they can see the cool flames shooting out.
Complete rubbish, that is fuel coming out the back not preservation oil, goto the website on the video and all is explained. I have changed many engines and never seen this before, smoke yes but no flames like this.
That's not an engine fire! That's just a pickled engine getting its initial run-up after installation. They always make lots of smoke, and often lots of flames. Totally usual and harmless.
Lol I think thats normal for them..Notice how the Camera dude just stood there..I mean I would be like "OMFG ITS ON FIRE AHHHHHHHHH!!" and run in circles...
doesn't that fuck up the wing structure? It must be able to stand extreme temps when flying.. but that's just cold. If you heat the wing, i would expect it to do some damage!
Dont listen to that rubbish! After an engine change you would wet motor the engine first to get any inhibiting oil out the engine and fuel system. Once youve wet run it you then dry run the engine to dry the engine out! Then you can do a normal start, this is NOT normal and can damge the exhaust and wing structure. The engine should have been shut down and motored till flames went out! The engineer running this was lazy and did not read the book!
This is indeed a so called "wet startup, probably after a decent revision of the engine so that a little oil was spilled inside the engine. This fire gets pretty intense at a moment, though. I wonder if this makes any threat to the aluminium of the wing...
That is definately not normal on start-up. Thats a wet run and instead of doing a dry motor to get the fuel out the engineer has put the ignitors on. Its not good practice.
Ohh Scary
