While the fire push switch doesn't immediately shutdown the engine, it at least has the thrust output heading in the right direction (toward idle). A SWAG would be that high power settings would tend to make the shutdown happen quicker than at idle. (Never had the opportunity to test that idea)
I should think taxying with one engine at a fairly high power setting would also cause hot brakes and therefore affect braking. The two simply can't be good in combination.

I've just re-read my earlier post. Not sure what I was thinking when I wrote it, but you're right, the 3A1 is the 100 and 3B1 is the 200. My thought was that the 2B19 portion of the designator meant the 3B1, which is a 200. Thanks for sorting that one out.

Also, didn't think LH Cityline had any 100s left.


P.S. Just read through the Africa thread on this one. Seems like we're on the same page. Also read it was a 100. I stand corrected.
