Default UAT contamination

Hi everybody,

We are currently investigating whether contamination in the UAT may be affecting the low RPM operation of the turbine.

The turbine has control loops that are calibrated to the necessary voltage at idle. If something affects that "draw" too much, too fast, in some cases the turbine cannot recover fast enough and the turbine may quit, sometimes even on taxi out.

Here is what it looks like. We are researching with BVM right now and will keep everyone apprised.
