Fourth Beechjet 400A Flameout Mirrors Past Issues
Both engines flamed out at 44,800 feet while the crew started a descent through a maturing convective storm cell.

A Colombia-registered Beechjet 400A glided to a safe landing at Palanquero Air Base, Colombia, after suffering a dual-engine flameout during a July 28 flight from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood (Fla.) Airport to Bogotá International Airport, according to a preliminary report released on Thursday by Colombia’s Grupo de Investigación de Accidentes and Incidentes (GRIAA). Registered as HK-4756, the twinjet was just starting its descent into Bogotá from FL450; both engines flamed out at 44,800 feet while it flew through a maturing convective storm cell at 11:15 p.m. local time.
