It sure acted like it !!
It was dead. It didn't throttle up from idle. It restarted itself.
We’re figuring the crew had the Auto Relight System armed as they should.
The crew had probably pushed the power levers forward once they noticed they couldn’t stop on the runway. (But too late.)
The massive water ingestion on “slash down” flamed out the engines.
They left them at some power setting above idle when evacuating. (Full power on the one engine would have pushed it up the beach. Idle may not have moved it at all. Don't know of any boat tests with Citations, off hand.)
They didn’t kill the master power when evacuating.
The auto relight system (with electric starter assist) recognized the flame-out without engine shut down.
The #1 engine may have been too “flooded” to relight.
The #2 engine obviously wasn’t.
Personally – As bizarre as the circumstances are. We think it says a lot about Cessna aircraft and the design of the engine systems.
Citations Rule !! Even on their own !!
