Attempted Recovery
- At 08:08:52 UTC: Engine 1 fuel control switch returned to RUN
- At 08:08:56 UTC: Engine 2 switch also returned to RUN
- FADEC attempted auto-relight: Engine 1 began recovering; Engine 2 failed to stabilize
- EGT rise confirmed attempted relight on both engines
- Mayday call transmitted at 08:09:05 UTC; final data recorded at 08:09:11 UTC
- Aircraft crashed into residential structures beyond airport perimeter
Malo je kot kaže zmanjkalo časa/višine, da bi se rešili in proper zagnali motorja.

FADEC attempted auto-relight: Engine 1 began recovering; Engine 2 failed to stabilize
EGT rise confirmed attempted relight on both engines
output:
This statement relates to a jet aircraft with two engines, and it's describing an in-flight engine malfunction and attempted recovery using **FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control)**. Let me break it down clearly:
---
### **Statement:**
>**"FADEC attempted auto-relight: Engine 1 began recovering; Engine 2 failed to stabilize"**
#### What it means:
- **FADEC attempted auto-relight:**
The aircraft’s **digital engine control system (FADEC)** detected an engine flameout (loss of combustion) and **automatically attempted to restart** both engines without pilot input, as it's programmed to do in certain failure conditions.
- **Engine 1 began recovering:**
Engine 1 responded to the auto-relight — combustion was likely re-established, and the engine began returning to normal parameters (e.g., RPM, EGT, fuel flow, etc.).
- **Engine 2 failed to stabilize:**
Engine 2 may have briefly restarted or shown signs of relight (e.g., an EGT rise), **but it didn’t fully recover** to a stable operating condition. It could not reach or maintain normal idle/stable thrust values.
---
### **Second statement:**
>**"EGT rise confirmed attempted relight on both engines"**
#### What it means:
- **EGT (Exhaust Gas Temperature)** is one of the key indicators monitored during engine start or relight attempts.
- A **rise in EGT** during the relight attempt confirms that **fuel was introduced** and **ignition occurred**, as combustion causes EGT to spike.
- So, the rise in EGT confirms that **both engines tried to relight**, even if only one of them (Engine 1) succeeded.
---
### **Summary:**
- The FADEC system tried to automatically restart both engines after detecting a flameout or power loss.
- The relight procedure was successful for **Engine 1**, which started to function normally again.
- However, **Engine 2** did not fully recover, even though it showed initial signs of ignition (via EGT rise).
This type of information is typically part of an emergency event log or incident report and would be crucial in diagnosing the root cause of the engine failure and partial recovery.

LMM scenarij 1:
How long does it take for relight B787-8 engine at FL320 (9754 m) ? (and speed Mach 0.84 ), če nekdo prestavi fuel stikali na off
Typical in-flight windmill relight on a modern high-bypass turbofan engine (like the
GEnx-1B on the 787) takes:
➤ 30 to 60 seconds for each engine
- If automatic relight succeeds on both engines, the engines will return to idle thrust in under a minute.
- FADEC attempts multiple relights depending on programming logic and conditions.
It typically takes between 30 and 60 seconds for each engine to become
fully functional again (idle thrust) following an
accidental shutdown and FADEC-initiated in-flight auto-relight on the Boeing 787-8, assuming no engine damage or limit exceedances.
LMM scenarij 2, kako je bilo:
*
- Reached max speed of 180 knots at 08:08:42 UTC
At
200 meters altitude (and speed 180 knots* oz 333 km/h),
FADEC auto-relight will be too late to save the aircraft. The engines will not be functional in time.
This would almost certainly result in
loss of the aircraft, unless in
extraordinary circumstances (e.g. extremely lucky landing spot nearby and perfect pilot response).

## FINAL ANSWER:
###

Minimum parameters for theoretical engine recovery:
| Parameter | Value |
|------------------------|------------------------------------------|
| **Altitude (minimum)** | **1,500–2,000 feet AGL** | oz. (457.2-609.6m)
| **Airspeed (minimum)** | **≥180 knots** (absolute minimum), **≥250 knots preferred** | oz. 463 km/h
| **Relight success time** | ~30–60 seconds |
| **Descent during relight** | ~1,100–1,800 feet |
| **Thrust restored by** | **~45 seconds after engine shutdown**, if ideal conditions |
###

Warning:
This is a **best-case theoretical scenario** assuming:
- No engine damage
- No mechanical faults or FADEC inhibit logic
- Correct engine windmilling RPM achieved
- No pilot delay
- Engines remain within relight envelope (temperature, RPM, etc)
In real emergencies like **dual flameout (e.g. Air Transat 236, BA038, birds-strike failures)**, outcomes vary based on weather, aircraft configuration, and luck.

Real-World Use Case:
- **Below ~2,000 ft AGL**, complete flameout (both engines off) means you’re in **forced landing territory**.
- Any delayed relight nearly guarantees inability to stabilize engines **before ground contact**.
- At **3,000 ft (915 m) AGL & 250 KIAS (463 km/h) **, the aircraft has **~1 minute of glide time** —
enough for FADEC to complete auto-relight under ideal conditions.
