ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Did maintenance on my C208. Replaced engine. First flight resulted in engine failure 1-2min into flight shortly followed by a hard impact between front landing gear and a tree, resulting in destruction of said landing gear.
Subsequent repairs found nothing wrong with the engine. Next flight resulted in a similar engine failure, but this time accompanied by CTD a few seconds after throttle was redudced to put trq back into green range.
I am guessing first time I did not notice the failure until a few seconds later and by then was too busy trying to feather the prop, getting into glide attitude, and trying to find a place to put it down to worry about throttle reduction, while second time I was watching out for engine failures and the first symptom was my trq shooting up suddenly, so I immediately reduced the throttle to put it back into greenrange, which caused CTD.
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
Just once. I could try again to repeat it, but I do not have a lot of funds, and crashing the plane due to engine failures repeatedly can get very expensive, so I am not willing to beta-test this with a live account. The engine failed 2/2 times in the last 2 flights, I am honestly reluctant to use career mode again until I find some assurance that the engine on the plane can last for long enough for me to have enough altitude to return back for a glide landing.
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
- Experience strange engine failure in C208 on first flight after replacing the engine
- Repair the plane, try flying again, have the engine malfunction again
- CTD after reducing throttle to put torque into green range
