ENG TORCHES ON ATTEMPTED RESTART AFTER ENG FLAMES OUT DURING TEMP TORQUE LIMITER TEST. ACFT EVACED.

Narrative

ON NOV/XA/95 AT XA45 PM WE (CAPT AND I) DID A TEMP/TORQUE LIMITER TEST. AT THAT TIME; THE R ENG FLAMED OUT APPROX 45 SECONDS. WE WENT TO ATTEMPT ANOTHER START AND NOTICED FLAMES COMING OUT THE EXHAUST PIPE ON THE R ENG. THE CAPT FIRED THE FIRE BOTTLES AND I EVACED 14 PAX OUT THE REAR (MAIN DOOR) OF THE ACFT. NO INJURIES OCCURRED AND FIRE BURNED OUT. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR SAID THE PROB OCCURRED AT THE LAX ARPT. HE STATED THIS IS A NORMAL TEST IN THAT THE ENG IS RUN UP TO ABOUT 50 PERCENT AND A BUTTON IS PUSHED WHICH SHOULD CAUSE THE RPM TO ROLL BACK ABOUT 40 PERCENT. IN THIS CASE THE ENG FLUNKED THE TEST. THE RPM ROLLED BACK MORE THAN 40 PERCENT. THE FUEL CTL GAVE THE ENG A SHOT OF FUEL AS THE ENG FLAMED OUT. ON THE ATTEMPTED RESTART FLAMES CAME OUT OF THE EXHAUST. HE SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THAT HE WOULD DO DIFFERENTLY. THE PAX EVAC WAS ACCOMPLISHED WITHOUT A HITCH AND IN GOOD SPIRITS. 1 PAX SUGGESTED THEY ROAST MARSHMALLOWS AS THE FIRE BURNED OUT. ANOTHER PAX SAID WHAT EVER YOU DO; DON'T LET MY GOLF CLUBS BURN UP!
