This is the story of logan air 670A. It was the 27th of february 2001, the night was cold just one degree over freezing or 34 degrees fahrenheit. A short 360-100 landed at Edinburgh airport after completing the day's flights. The plane taxied to the stands where it would spend the night. Before heading out for the night they refueled the plane with 3000 pounds or 1300 kilos of fuel. The plane needed to head back out at 4 am so fueling the plane now would save time for the next crew.

But mother nature had other plans for the crew and the plane. By 2 am the airport was closed as a result of the severe weather, the snow pounded the airport and winds of upto 43 knots battered the planes. By 6 am the crew were told that the airport would not open for a few more hours, so the crew made the best of the situation. They secured the plane the best they could, they put straps on the propellers, covered up the pitot tubes and then retired to the crew room to get out of the biting cold. The wind and snow didn't let up till 10 am the next day.

By 3 pm they were ready to take the plane from Edinburgh to Belfast, this was a flight that was delayed by the storm. They started the engines but immediately had some issues , the right hand engine was starting and stopping. The crew tried their best, but soon they had to ask for engineering assistance, the generator in the right hand engine just wouldn't work. With the engineer made the changes and ran the engine for about 15 minutes to see if the fix had worked, they ran the engine again for 15 minutes to double check. The engine worked fine, before the engineer left the engineer checked the oil levels and checked the surface of the plane for ice, the oil levels were fine and there wasn't a whole lot of ice on the surface of the plane.

With that the engines were started and both engines functioned for about 20 minutes at the stands with no issues. By 5:10 pm the plane was taxiing to runway 06. As they taxied, they went through the checklists, icing was a concern that was on the pilots minds. The captain wanted to cycle the landing gear once in the air to make sure that it was free of ice and slush, that's the kind of things that they talked about as they taxied.

The plane took off, as they had talked about before the captain cycled the landing gear to get rid of any ice on them, the gears were retracted and then extended and then retracted again. As the plane breached 1200 feet they pulled back the engines to climb power as they did. The crew carried out the after takeoff checks on the plane. The captain asked the first officer to turn on all the anti icing systems. The captain was busy tuning the to scottish ATCC and the first officer was busy flipping switches. As the switches were flipped both engines died. They had just suffered a dual engine flameout at 2200 feet.
The captain immediately put out a mayday call Quote "MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY THIS IS LOGAN SIX SEVEN ZERO ALPHA WE'VE HAD A DOUBLE ENGINE FAILURE REPEAT A DOUBLE ENGINE FAILURE", end quote
