Left engine of the Boeing F/A-18D strike fighter belonging to the Royal Malaysian Air Force experienced a flameout 50 feet above the ground, during a solo display on Tuesday, at the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition, LIMA 2019.

“I was looking for 280 knots airspeed before pitching my nose up for a high-alpha vertical climb; I was just skimming the runway at this point. Then, I heard a loud bang… and the entire aircraft began to shudder," Major Goh Keng Loon told The New Straits Times.

During this low-level transition, the left General Electric F-404-400 EPE afterburning turbofan engine ingested a foreign object.

Observers on the ground saw orange flame belching out of the left engine nozzle. The fuel and flame mixture from the engine floated down to the ground and ignited the dry grass on the airfield.

After experiencing a loud explosion due to the flameout, the pilot immediately executed emergency procedures to land the aircraft safely.

Its common knowledge engine problems being faced by RMAF and its jets being grounded for extended periods at times.

but a very scary one ! Why else will Chinese planes flee from competition twice ? Bahrain and now Malaysia ?

Yes, scary only to a complete imbecile. A jet that not even the airforce of its country of origin wants.

Read the comment section of the video. It is full of people from many countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, UK, Thailand, etc. expressing admiration and support for the Tejas. It is impressive how far the fighter has come along recently.

It was a bird strike, not a technical problem. F/A-18D doesn't have engine problem, though the SU-30MKM does have maintenance and spare parts delivery problem due to bad after sales service from the Russian suppliers. Malaysian air force wanted to send SU-30MKM to China for maintenance but the Russian refused to give permission.
