THE FLC OF AN ACR AT42 HAS AN ENG QUIT ON FINAL APCH TO EWR. FUEL MAY HAVE SHIFTED OUT OF THE L TANK DURING A PROLONGED L TURN TO THE FINAL COURSE. TOTAL FUEL ON BOARD MAY HAVE BEEN SUFFICIENT; BUT THE RPTR ALSO SUGGESTS THAT FUEL MISMGMNT MAY HAVE BEEN A FACTOR.

Narrative

THIS RPT IS AN ADDENDUM TO A PREVIOUS RPT OF #1 ENG FLAMEOUT ON APCH TO RWY 4L AT EWR. AFTER LNDG; BOTH FUEL QUANTITY INDICATORS READ ABOUT 900 LBS (EACH); HOWEVER; IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT THE FUEL MAY HAVE UNPORTED ON THE L SIDE OF THE ACFT DURING THE L TURN TO FINAL. MAINT PERSONNEL DIPPED THE TANKS AND FOUND SUFFICIENT FUEL; THOUGH I FEEL THAT THE CAPT MAY NOT HAVE REQUESTED ENOUGH FUEL PRIOR TO BEGINNING THE ROUND TRIP TO ORF. UPON ARRIVING AT ORF; THE CAPT SPOKE WITH COMPANY AND TOLD ME THAT OUR CURRENT FUEL LOAD WAS APPROVED AS RELEASE FUEL BY COMPANY. I WROTE THE AMOUNT ON THE WT AND BAL FORM. AFTER DEP IT OCCURRED TO ME THAT IT WAS UNCOMMON TO DO THE ORF ROUND TRIP WITHOUT TAKING ON FUEL AT ORF. THOUGH THE QUANTITY OF FUEL REMAINING AFTER LNDG SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT AND FUEL MGMNT MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE BEEN A FACTOR IN THIS FLAMEOUT; ONE SHOULD ALWAYS GET EXTRA FUEL WHEN IN DOUBT. 2 CONTRIBUTING FACTORS: 1) COMPANY COMPUTER WAS DOWN IN THE MORNING; DISPATCHERS MAY HAVE BEEN COMPROMISED. 2) SHORT HOLD OVER ARD VOR.
