Yes that´s correct. It´s because a remaining quantity of lubricants and oil from the engine production burns away on the very first run up. It´s nothing unusual and it´s not dangerous to the engine and/or the aircraft. But it looks very spectacular and smells like hell... ;-)
this is a normal situation during first idle run of cfm engine because it has been preservated with special oil wich burns inside engine. to mr houdini no commercial jet should produce any smoke, especialy inside the cabin. captain was a bad liar
I don't understand why these people here ALWAYS comments bads to every Asian Countries! You stupids retards will never become a pilot then! Dear Pilots and aviation community LOVERS:If you have EXTREME statements on your comments (like: I hate India, I hate Russia, I hate ...) As a pilot you need to have an open mind and a high level of tolerance (which is painful, I know that) otherwise stay in your trailer and shoot some beer cans ...
@houdiinii I don't know but I'm sure it's normal since I was flyin gon Delta from Denver to Philadelphia and the airplane started and it was smoking like crazy, I was scared but pilot said it was normal...
That happened to me when I started up the aircraft which wasn't used for a long time! It's just dust on the back of the engine that triggers something in the engine
@walkandlookup I've also noticed that when engines have a slightly high oil level that they do this as well. Usually not quite to the extent that this one is smoking, however. I'd guess that you're right, a recent overhaul, rebuild, maintenance, or new...
@jumboJetPilot The smoke is generated from the oil which is left on the turbine blades, before you would start a new engine you would do a wet run and check for leaks.
@Sterlingjob That particular shade of smoke definitely looks like oil. As a pilot, I'm not terribly familiar with maintenance procedures but what you say makes perfect sense.
new turbine engines are coated with anti-corrosion films on the blades(for before they are fitted on the aircraft), and that with the combination of burning oil off on the on first start...looks bad, but trust, these things are way too well tested for this to be some sort of problem....
Dammit I tried to take my weedwackeer though the airport and they took it away. Now I wonder why the plane is smoking so much.damn these people will use anything to heat these planes
@jcadlols Its not oil in the fuel lines, its the oil burning off from the turbine. Before you start an engine you would carry out a wet run and inspect for leaks, then you would do a normal start.
I asked you to get a life, not that sitting in the sofa in-front of the Monitor whole day! waking up late, not going schools, etc! I know you type of people a lot and in fact maximums are all like that.. You know what, kid? Good ones don't wish to give that a time, keep flying planes on simulator. Hey, Is the swendedn having bakhtair ass? umm.. smells bad :-)
@777VoRTeX777 is right on a cold day or a wet day the engine must heat up b4 it can take off ... the heat evoprate the water on the engine that why u see smoke coming out
@thatstheone87 thats called a wet start in flying terms...and it means basically the pilot fked up and turnd the fule on before the engine was at starting temps
@IvIast3er No, its a new engine with still all the protective coating on it, i've seen it lots of times on new Gulfstreams and Falcons. Second, you don't get a wet start from simply introducing fuel before a specific N1 setting! The fuel will ignite and in that case it's called a hot start. The only way to get a wet start is from bad igniter plugs or problems with the FCU.
@IvIast3er WRONG!!!!.... wet motor does not produce smoke... thats smoke happens the first time you start a newly installed engine. Its the burning of the engines preservatives.
@IvIast3er Not in this case, it s a new engine and has a protective oil layer on its components which burns off and first engine start up and causes a lot of smoke,
btw: engine wet start is nearly impossible on an airbus, as you use the fadec controlled automatic start mode which opens all valves in the correct order and at the correct times. in this mode the pilot does not open the fuel valve himself, it done by a computer
@Sterlingjob No its not, its the EEC and the EIU together with the Pack Controller. So its the whole system and not only on computer out of the FADEC Philsophy, FADEC is not a system its a philosphy.
@SDFlight Since when does the pack controller control then engine? The brains of the engine is the EEC or ECU depending on which engine you are talking about. What about the HMU?
@Sterlingjob If you want to have all computers don't forget the ECU APU. By selcting the Rotary selector to engine start the first computer involved is the pack controller by switching of the pack than the Engine Interface Unit powers all components including the EEC (V2500) oder ECU (CFM) and sends a signal to the EEC APU for a high bleed demand, when the EML was set to ON in the meantime. The start valve and the low pressure fuel valve open. any questions left
After the eec/ecu opens the start valve the HMU and the FCU (Fuel control Unit) are adjusted coressponding to the engine parameters. Ignition signal an the High pressure Fuel Valve opening signal are managed at appropriate shaft rpm's. during ingnition the egt limit is set to its maximum allowable value, five seconds after ignition is decreased again. only seconds after the ignition signal, the start valve closes. by closing the start valve the bleed demand goes back to normal
and the pack controller switches on the pack again. After successful engine start, the bleed valves at the engines are opened, in case automatic mode is selected in the cockpit (PB to ON)
I could give you all parameters but its company secret.
@Sterlingjob Yes your are right, but it does not change its involvment in the start sequence. During the development it was called ECU, afterwards airbus changed it to ECB to avoid problems due to misleading names.
I've seen that before and the pilot said it was that the engine had 4 birds nests in it!! he told me they were not allowed to physically touch the nests so they used to start the engines and watch the "little bastards" burn... Could take upto 23 mins before the last little chick stopped tweeting and then they were all dead...
Before the engines are sent to Airbus from the manufacturers, the final stage of the engine testing is called Inhibiting the engine, this is basically filling the fuel lines with oil so the fuel doesn't stagnate and corrode the fuel lines during transit to Airbus.
On the first run when fitted to the aircraft, this smoke is that protective oil burning out of the fuel lines.
The smoke is the inhibiting oil burning off the turbine, theres no way you would light off with oil in the lines as you could contaminate the turbine. If anything you would certainly carry out a wet run first and check for leaks.
No I never said the engine lights with oil still in it, I just said it burns out, which it does as you said, off the turbine. It's gotta come out of the combustors though first, naturally
You cycle the engine first without the ignitors so that fuel is spraying out the back, that clears any oil out the lines.
I have to say ive never fitted an engine after overhaul which is full of inhibiting oil, the compressor and turbine are covered but not the pumps, actuators of HMU's.
@ShokaLion Whats the first thing you do once you have hung an engine and plumbed it all in? A leak check by any chance? This is not oil in the fuel lines but oil burning off the turbine area etc Thinking about it jet a1 will not corrode fuel lines anyway, how can it?
I can tell you with a hundred percent certainty that the engines are sent away from Rolls-Royce with inhibiting oil in the fuel lines. I know because I've done the process myself, and I've seen what happens when engines that have been inhibited have to be brought back and run again. The result is exactly what you see here: a lot of white smoke.The oil system is self-contained on the engine, if it's okay when being tested, it'll be okay on arrival.
