As the title says, in case of a flame out, how long does it take for say a K160 to restart?

I’m really excited about using these on my A-10!

It happens pretty fast. I would not use it on a heavy scale jet. Sport jet its ok. Now for an A10 you would need to be very careful with the asymmetric thrust until it got back to speed. Some telemetry would be nice for them and I never use telemetry lol.

It looks like it takes 4-5 seconds on that video.

I have seen Mibos fly around on p120’s back in the day with heavier older A-10’s the pilot only knew he had a flame out because he just needed more power.

I have a buddy who had a restart in his F-18 and he said it saved his bacon! I wasn’t there to see it and I wanted to know how much time it takes.

4-5 seconds is VERY reasonable.

With my jeti, I believe I can get telemetry to give voice output said could say “flame on” and “flame out” to let me know if a flame out happens and, more importantly, when the turbine is back on.

There is no time to look at my tx when “puckered”! LOL

The CTU is pretty nice if your on a -24 series.....

I've also seen a few A-10 flights where the pilot didn't realize there was a flameout and it was at the worst possible time, at takeoff.
Your Jeti can also tell you which engine flamed out.
