Attempted my second leg today from KBFI (Boeing Field) to PANC (Anchorage). It ended in tragedy.
The weather was rainy at KBFI, but I took off without much problem. This time, I used the IXEG 737-300 for X-Plane 11.
This time, I planned my fuel better. I tinkered with the FMC, planned my route and off I went to 36000 ft.
Overall, climbing and cruising was pretty much uneventful.
However, just as I started my descent, I noticed an oil leak on both my engines. The pressure dropped gradually and as I reached 25000 ft, my right engine seized up and I unsuccessfully tried to restart it. Without oil to lubricate the shafts, there was pretty much no hope to bring my engine back to life. The oil leak for the left engine stabilized, but I kept on going towards Anchorage.
As I started my approach, the weather got really bad. Heavy cloud layer all the way to the ground. My VNAV helped me maintain a safe altitude though.
Visibility was really low, but I still had the flight director to help me.
I eventually flew through a thick cloud.
Speed was good. Power was low but enough to keep me in the air. I had a chance.
Out of a sudden, the aircraft starts stalling and I enter a deadly spin. I couldn’t recover and crashed in the mountains. I checked the post-flight report afterwards and it appears that there was an ice acccumulation on my wings and the loss of my right engine probably messed up the right wing anti-ice system. Ice built up as I flew through the cloud and eventually my wing couldn’t generate enough lift to keep me flying.
Darn. Now I need to start it over. Super frustrating!
