Failures
The engines in the Aerosoft OV-10 Bronco will fail if they are not
treated with respect. They are very well maintained but they are a few
decades old, so be nice to them. All failures can be switched off in the
checklist configurator.
• Engine flameouts might occur when flying in icing conditions
without having switched on the continuous ignition switches.
• Starter motors will fail if run too long with feathered propellers
due to over torque.
• Continuous torque should be limited to 1875 foot/lb and only
exceeded for short amounts of time. When this limit is
exceeded the chance of a failure increases dramatically. Keep in
mind the overtorque warning light will only be lit at 2200 foot/
lb so do not wait for them to light up.
