Narrative:

I was flying the aircraft for an altitude acceleration check on a recently hot sectioned right engine. We were given a vector and were climbing through 38000 ft to 41000 ft. The engine flamed out in the climb and at the same time we lost our #1 communication radio. We attempted to make contact with ATC 4 times before we realized that we had lost communication. During that time, my airspeed began to bleed off rapidly and I had to begin a descent to avoid an impending stall. This descent was initiated without a clearance to do so because of our #1 communication loss. We began squawking 7700 in the transponder during our descent. Communication was reestablished on the #2 radio and we continued our descent with an ATC clearance. The right engine was started again at approximately 23000 ft and we landed at bwi with no further problems.

Title: ACFT EQUIP PROBLEM INDUCED ALTDEV EXCURSION FROM ASSIGNED.

Narrative: I WAS FLYING THE ACFT FOR AN ALT ACCELERATION CHK ON A RECENTLY HOT SECTIONED R ENG. WE WERE GIVEN A VECTOR AND WERE CLBING THROUGH 38000 FT TO 41000 FT. THE ENG FLAMED OUT IN THE CLB AND AT THE SAME TIME WE LOST OUR #1 COM RADIO. WE ATTEMPTED TO MAKE CONTACT WITH ATC 4 TIMES BEFORE WE REALIZED THAT WE HAD LOST COM. DURING THAT TIME, MY AIRSPD BEGAN TO BLEED OFF RAPIDLY AND I HAD TO BEGIN A DSCNT TO AVOID AN IMPENDING STALL. THIS DSCNT WAS INITIATED WITHOUT A CLRNC TO DO SO BECAUSE OF OUR #1 COM LOSS. WE BEGAN SQUAWKING 7700 IN THE TRANSPONDER DURING OUR DSCNT. COM WAS REESTABLISHED ON THE #2 RADIO AND WE CONTINUED OUR DSCNT WITH AN ATC CLRNC. THE R ENG WAS STARTED AGAIN AT APPROX 23000 FT AND WE LANDED AT BWI WITH NO FURTHER PROBLEMS.
