Remarks: | Sixteenth leg of Fliggity Air's "Aotearoa" achievement. All the other flights have so far been perfectly smooth, turbulence and wind gusts notwithstanding. This one started with the engine dying just before takeoff on the runway. I checked that I hadn't accidentally knocked my mixture slider backwards, and I hadn't. I then checked my fuel levels and sure enough my right tank had run empty. But I knew I SHOULD have had enough to continue flying. So then I checked the failures menu. Lo and behold I had experienced my first failure in the BS Bonanza, and it just so happened to be a doozy. I had a fuel leak in the right tank! I had been spilling fuel everywhere while idling on the ground waiting to depart and didn't notice until the engine died. I'm just glad it happened on the ground rather than mid-flight because I have such a hard time getting the engine started! I repaired the leak, refueled the tanks and continued on without further incident. I love the Black Square Analog series. |
