Pmdg 737800 nix accident in southern Alaska- cause unknown-

Featured Replies

Hello all, here to tell you about my unknown crash. When departing from PAKT for KSEA this morning everything was routine, other than a little snow and some wind.I did everything I usually do and had the aircraft on the runway for take off after deciding with my flight dispatcher that the conditions were safe to take off. I used anti ice, pitot heat winsheild heat and every thing as usual, and had no problem making it to cruise altitude at 36000 feet. About 30 seconds after reaching cruise, all he'll broke loose. I got an odd air-conditioning warning on the master warning display, and just put it to manual, not to big of a problem, and I continued my route with manual air-conditioning, I still don't know if it is related with the incidents yet to occur but is my belief that it is. Not long after that, I received an overhead warning on the master warning display which came with a warning alarm bell. Having no clue of what was going on I started with the top of the overhead panel and worked my way down, everything was as it should be and nothing was unusual. After making the decision to return to the airport for further investigation and safety precautions, I made a quick turn for the airport I toke off from, half way through my turn generator 1 disconnected and the orange drive light was illuminated, I turned it off, then onn again, and it still was off, I wasn't too worried since I still had gen II but wanted it fixed. As I contacted tower with my problem, out of the blue I lost generator II, and everything went dead quiet, ATC transmissitions went quiet as radios shut off, lost FOs displays and CDU, and hugs system... Along with this the IRS, and autopilot. Having no way of communication and navigation all I had was my engines. Using my loca map I had prepared for departure, I tried to navigate my way back, only to get swallowed up in a snow storm and 231 miles off the coast, and with low fuel. Adding power I climbed back up to as much altitude as I could before loosing both engines due to low fuel.a battle well fought but nature won and I plummeted into the Alaskan costal waters with nothing, no visibility, flight displays, compas, and at around 1350 feet, I turned off the battery and fuel supply. All this lead me to wonder... What the he'll happened? Haha. Note- I follow checklist and proper procedures... And went through emergency procedures, which I did not detail in the above story.
