I don't think this could be possible because I believe I read that the center, or No. 2 engines in aircraft with an S-duct intake such as the L-1011 needed to have those center engines rated at a higher thrust setting. Because if this is true than why would the super 27 keep the original No. 2 engine and refit the 1's and 3's. So is it possible?Does flying with 2 different engines violate any FAR?
NO on the issue of FAR.
For reasons to lengthy to explain here there is no FAR (rule) on engine configuration. The question or determing factor would be with type design and certification.
, I believe the super 27 is certified (STC -Supplemental Type Cert.) with the PWC JT 8 D-217 in the 1 and 3 positions.
If it does have another one in the center or some other dash no. engine...well... what do I know??
