Narrative:

The left engine flameout occurred when I moved power levers to flight idle after acquiring the runway (visually) at about 200 ft AGL. This aircraft had at least 2 write-ups in logbook on recent flts for this very same problem. I had briefed the first officer on the write-ups and we mutually agreed to avoid the flight idle setting until clear of clouds. It is unfortunate that my experience at a commuter/regional teaches me to be suspicious of nearly every activity within the company. If we had 1 standard of certification for all airlines then some of these sits would be eliminated.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: FLAMEOUT AT 200 FT AGL.

Narrative: THE L ENG FLAMEOUT OCCURRED WHEN I MOVED PWR LEVERS TO FLT IDLE AFTER ACQUIRING THE RWY (VISUALLY) AT ABOUT 200 FT AGL. THIS ACFT HAD AT LEAST 2 WRITE-UPS IN LOGBOOK ON RECENT FLTS FOR THIS VERY SAME PROB. I HAD BRIEFED THE FO ON THE WRITE-UPS AND WE MUTUALLY AGREED TO AVOID THE FLT IDLE SETTING UNTIL CLR OF CLOUDS. IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT MY EXPERIENCE AT A COMMUTER/REGIONAL TEACHES ME TO BE SUSPICIOUS OF NEARLY EVERY ACTIVITY WITHIN THE COMPANY. IF WE HAD 1 STANDARD OF CERTIFICATION FOR ALL AIRLINES THEN SOME OF THESE SITS WOULD BE ELIMINATED.
