High-altitude ice crystals in convective weather are now recognized as a cause of engine damage and engine power loss that affects multiple models of commercial airplanes and engines. These events typically have occurred in conditions that appear benign to pilots, including an absence of airframe icing and only light turbulence. The engines in all events have recovered to normal thrust response quickly. Research is being conducted to further understand these events. Normal thunderstorm avoidance procedures may help pilots avoid regions of high ice crystal content.
另外,别以为这个Quick Turnaround Weight 很难达到,我试着用OPT算了一下。B737-800在兰州18号落地,顺风10节,环境温度11摄氏度时,Quick Turnaround Weight是65311KG,已经小于了结构重量。 这种情况在顺风落地时尤为明显(因为有150%的风的系数Maximumquick turnaround weights should be determined using brake energies and tire speeds, as appropriate, calculated with the limit tailwind velocity factored by 150 percent.)。
