Narrative:
After takeoff from mia runway 27R while passing through 2500 ft MSL, aircraft in clean confign, #1 engine failed. After immediate action items were accomplished, we climbed to 4000 ft MSL. Takeoff gross weight was 177700 pounds and field temperature was 91 degrees F. We began to dump fuel as per takeoff briefing. While performing engine failure, precautionary shutdown checklist, it was noted that #1 fuel shutoff valve switch was in the closed position. #1 engine had normal windmilling indications (N1, N2, exhaust gas temperature, oil pressure, etc). Upon completion of shutdown checklist, fuel dump was terminated and an in-flight engine restart was initiated using the in-flight restart checklist. The engine was successfully restarted and all indications were normal. After review of the expanded checklists, the captain conferred with dispatch and company maintenance. It was determined that there were no mechanical problems with the engine and it was safe to continue on to our destination. The remainder of the flight was uneventful.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: INFLT ENG SHUTDOWN DUE TO FUEL SHUTOFF VALVE SWITCH INADVERTENTLY SELECTED TO THE CLOSED POS. FLC DISCOVERED IT WHEN COMPLETING SHUTDOWN CHKLIST. WINDMILLING ENG, N1 AND 2, OIL PRESSURE NORMAL, FUEL SHUTOFF OPENED AND ENG WAS RESTARTED.
Narrative: AFTER TKOF FROM MIA RWY 27R WHILE PASSING THROUGH 2500 FT MSL, ACFT IN CLEAN CONFIGN, #1 ENG FAILED. AFTER IMMEDIATE ACTION ITEMS WERE ACCOMPLISHED, WE CLBED TO 4000 FT MSL. TKOF GROSS WT WAS 177700 LBS AND FIELD TEMP WAS 91 DEGS F. WE BEGAN TO DUMP FUEL AS PER TKOF BRIEFING. WHILE PERFORMING ENG FAILURE, PRECAUTIONARY SHUTDOWN CHKLIST, IT WAS NOTED THAT #1 FUEL SHUTOFF VALVE SWITCH WAS IN THE CLOSED POS. #1 ENG HAD NORMAL WINDMILLING INDICATIONS (N1, N2, EXHAUST GAS TEMP, OIL PRESSURE, ETC). UPON COMPLETION OF SHUTDOWN CHKLIST, FUEL DUMP WAS TERMINATED AND AN INFLT ENG RESTART WAS INITIATED USING THE INFLT RESTART CHKLIST. THE ENG WAS SUCCESSFULLY RESTARTED AND ALL INDICATIONS WERE NORMAL. AFTER REVIEW OF THE EXPANDED CHKLISTS, THE CAPT CONFERRED WITH DISPATCH AND COMPANY MAINT. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WERE NO MECHANICAL PROBS WITH THE ENG AND IT WAS SAFE TO CONTINUE ON TO OUR DEST. THE REMAINDER OF THE FLT WAS UNEVENTFUL.
