THE COPILOT WAS DESCENDING TO THE LOW ALTITUDE AIRWAY STRUCTURE IN PREPARATION FOR LANDING AT THE MIAMI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, WHEN THE BOEING 757-23APF EXPERIENCED A DUAL ENGINE FLAMEOUT. THE AIRPLANE PENETRATED LEVEL 3 WEATHER CONTAINING THUNDERSTORMS, MODERATE ICING, AND MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN SHOWERS. THE FLIGHTCREW STATED ENGINE ANTI-ICE WAS NOT IN USE AS REQUIRED BY THE AIRCRAFT OPERATING MANUAL. AN EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED WITH MIAMI APPROACH CONTROL FOR A STATED LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER. A DUAL ENGINE RESTART WAS ACCOMPLISHED AFTER TWO ATTEMPTS ON EACH ENGINE. THE AIRPLANE WAS LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. THE AIRLINE TRANSPORT PILOT-IN-COMMAND, FIRST OFFICER AND ADDITIONAL CREWMEMBER WERE NOT INJURED.
Probable Cause: THE PILOT-IN-COMMAND'S IMPROPER SUPERVISION OF THE CO-PILOT/FIRST OFFICER. THIS RESULTED IN A TOTAL LOSS OF ENGINE POWER ON BOTH ENGINES WHILE AT LOW POWER SETTINGS IN KNOWN ICING CONDITIONS FOR FAILURE TO FOLLOW CHECKLIST PROCEDURES.
