Never happened on ground. This motor is on my Bobcat and its a 120. It reads 126300 low rpm shutdown. Maybe we can establish a pattern.
This motor just received new combustion chamber and compressor wheel and I replaced all line and filters all the way to tanks. I also pulled tanks out and checked them. About the fifth flight from work being done it low rpm shutoff after a snap.

Well, I have never had a low RPM (idle shutdown while airborne) mine have always been while taxiing! The airborne type would have gotten my attention much sooner than my mentioning it now --------- maybe Bob can comment, and or has a solution to this possible problem. I totally rely on these turbines when I'm airborne, and so far have never been bitten ----- dumb luck I guess ------- have done snap rolls entered vertically with power reduced to idle at snap, also hammer-head-stall turns, they don't work well with zero blast on the rudders -----although I thought I notice some blast effect with my Bob Cat -- bottom line the motor has always been there ------ and I will assume it will be until I get bitten --------
