Just finishing my flight , the second in the pax version med fuel load , max pax load , cruiseing at 29000ft , so this was my longest and highest flight so far , ASN giveing its worst weather , rain and low vis on leaving KSEA , had to put signs on in cruise for 20 min, as the aircraft was in turbulance mid flight , then ASN really screwed me at KORD with the following atis report winds 045/3 vis 4nm 700 brk/9000 brk 11000 overcast 3008 alt setting 6 nm NNE from KPWK windshear alert , this atis report was way off the mark , weather so bad i had to turn it off as it was giveing severe windshear on approach into runway 4R , and zero vis almost to gound , the windshears where so bad it was almost causeing the aircraft to stall , when i was configured for landing , i had to gun the engines to recover control of aircraft , might have damaged them trying to get aircraft and pax down saftly.
Fuel onboard after shutdown was 3447/1968/1966/3480 lbs
Just looked at engines all where excellent prior flight , thanks to ASN and its bad weather 2 are good 1 excellent 1 very poor , all showing signs of heat stress and detonation damage .
LOOKS AS IF ALL 4 ENGS NEED AN OVERHAUL cheers ASN. engs and airframe only have 10.5 hrs on them.
Regards alan.
