MD-11 engine fail

Featured Replies

Hi, another question for MD-11 flyers.I've been experimenting how she reacts if all engine fails. So, I switched off all engines and deployed ADG. EMER PWR was automaticly turned on and I pressed ADG ELEC on overhead. Manuals say that ADG will provide electricity to captain's essential equipment and/or to first officer's one. But what happened was that the DUs 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 were powered and only DU 2 was blank. I thought that the captains displays are more essential than f/o's. I'm pasting pic below, so you'll be easyer imagine what I'm talking about:ques.th.jpgRegards,Aljaz Prislan

In this sceario, both pilots are essential. For example, the FO may be the PF while the Capt is PNF and is doing the troubleshooting.

Aljaz,The picture shows more then 1000 words can answer, but for a completer picture in my mind, need some more info confirmed:- How did you trigger the Engine Failures. Pedestal Fuel switches OFF or the PMDG Failure menu?- Which situation or engine indication triggered you to switch ADG ELEC to ON?- Seeing 2 HYD SYS pages displayed, are you using the latest update 1.20.0055?Regards,Harry
