Flight Crew FLC Overrode Automation; Flight Crew Inflight Shutdown; General Declared Emergency
Aircraft
While enroute we were in between buildups. After going through a few clouds we came upon a large buildup that we couldn't avoid. While going through it; we experienced moderate/severe turbulence. The Captain kicked off the autopilot to hand fly around the clouds. We told ATC of the issue and he told us to 'do whatever you need to do.' We exceeded our assigned altitude by 500 FT; but heard nothing else from ATC. After exiting the build up; the cruise portion of the flight continued as normal. Upon arrival at the terminal area we were cleared to fly 040 heading and to descend to 4;000 FT. After leveling at 4;000 FT the Captain advanced the throttles. When he did; the right engine flamed out and the ITT spiked into the red indication. I immediately ran the checklist for engine failure. After securing the engine; we tried a restart but the ITT spiked again when he tried to advance the thrust levers. (Note: the N2 never exceeded 45%.) The Captain immediately shut the engine back down; and we executed an emergency landing without further incident.
Sent an ACARS message to Dispatch; but due to time constraints did not speak to them verbally. I felt confident they would have us do what we were doing and land at our destination.If I had to do it over again I would transfer the controls and the radios to the First Officer and run the QRH myself. Not because he did a poor job but because I found myself constantly trying to 'look over his shoulder' to make sure nothing was missed. I feel that this would have reduced my stress level significantly and sped the process up rapidly.
Shortly after encountering significant turbulence while deviating for weather; the flight crew of a CRJ-200 had to shut down the left engine due to its failure to spool up; accompanied by high ITT; following a descent.
