"Jase Vanover"

I taxied to the maintenance hanger (after being directed there by the FBO
via radio notification of the situation), and explained what happened to
the maintenance guy. He said that there is a stop on the throttle to keep
the idle setting from being too low that probably needed adjustment. Even
so, during shutdown (after restarting), idle setting on the throttle was
still 800 - 900 RPM, which should be enough to keep the engine running I
would think.

Anyone else experienced this and can share their thoughts? I'm about a 60
hour pilot, so not much experience.

Part of the run-up is a slow idle check. You should pull the throttle
fairly hard to see if the idle speed falls significantly below the spec'd
minimum. I don't know if that's what happened to you, but it's pretty
common.

I was flying into La Guardia on Air Canada and I saw a Bonanza rolling out
with the engine stopped. By total coincidence, exiting the plane, I got a
call from that pilot's instructor who'd briefed the pilot on this X/C. He
said that there was a known problem with that plane and, I think, said that
it was not an uncommon problem with that type of plane. Odd thing,
coincidence.

Anyway, engines quitting on final is an occasional story topic. There you
go...
