@aero.virals: In aircraft engines, when fuel remains in the combustion chamber or exhaust section from a previous flight or a failed start attempt, and it ignites during engine start, the resulting flame discharge is known as a "hot start" or "tailpipe fire." This occurs due to excessive fuel accumulation and insufficient airflow. A tailpipe fire manifests as flames coming out of the exhaust when the engine is started. While it usually does not cause external engine damage, it requires immediate action to prevent escalation. #Aviation #AircraftEngine #TailpipeFire #HotStart #AircraftSafety #EngineStart #PilotTraining #AviationSafety #AircraftMaintenance #FlightOperations #Aerospace #EngineFailure #EmergencyProcedures #PilotLife #AircraftSystems Source: IG @mraircraftengineer
