Engines shut down after adding power
Bought 737 today. Have it configured to come up ready to fly. Weights are within MTOW. Engines are running after load and everything seems normal. I slowly begin adding power. Very shortly thereafter I see the master caution come on - and the rpm starts spoiling down. Have double checked every thing several times in manual - but the problem persists. Advice please.

Re: Engines shut down after adding power
I have spoken to our programmer who suggests setting your default aircraft to 'ready to fly'
Another thing to check is that you have enough fuel.

Re: Engines shut down after adding power
Hi Osh,
Thanks, but I don't know how to set my default (F-22) to come up "Ready to fly". I can set my 737-200 to do that (and have), but not SET my default aircraft. My F-22 DOES start ready to fly - but how do I SET it to do that?
My F-22 comes up with 100% fuel in it. I also had fuel in my 737-200.
Regards,
Bill

If your F-22 comes up ready to fly, then you're all set.
Did you add fuel via MVAMS?

Re: Engines shut down after adding power
In reviewing how I entered the fuel into the MVAMs\Payloads, I discovered I had misinterpreted what was needed (pounds not %). I did indeed starve the engines. I however have a couple of other questions that I can not find either in the Milviz Manual or the Boeing 737 FCOM:
1/ What is the maximum passenger load in each section of the "Pax" model?
2/ When adding fuel (MVAMS\Payload), my fuel is split between the two wing tanks until they are full - then the center tank is filled. I presume it is used in this manner (center tank first, then equally from the wing tanks)?

Re: Engines shut down after adding power
1: I think the AMS automatically limits them as soon as you switch box focus.
2: Correct. Center first then wings is how the fuel is used.

Re: Engines shut down after adding power
Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for the reply. I don't understand your first comment. Example: If I want to fly with each cabin section 60% full - how can I enter those values into the appropriate MVAMS Payload section unless I first know how many passengers are possible (100%) in each cabin section?

Re: Engines shut down after adding power
Well you could run the counters up to their max and that would give you the limits which you could then adjust.
I just did a test here though.
For Combi:
Mid Coach: 24
Aft Coach A: 24
Aft Coach B: 18
For Pax:
1st Class: 12
Fwd Coach A: 18
Fwd Coach B: 18
Mid Coach: 24
Aft Coach A: 24
Aft Coach B: 18
