Packing ice/ash/... into the _air_ intake has little to do with the fuel supply. (Again, I think I was not clear.) I don't consider that a "failure" any more than I consider flying into the side of a mountain a structural failure. Particulates dense enough to shut down an engine are dense enough that the pilot had no business flying into them in the first place (or was unfortunate enough to be overtaken by a cloud). Make sure I have this straight... If an engine stops (against the pilot's wishes) in flight becuase it can no longer get fuel, that's "engine failure". If it stops because it can no longer get air, that's just "pilot error"? --kyler |
