I think this accident is a perfect example of how startle factor can ruin the flow of what is otherwise a ‘standard’ sim failure. A friend of mine described a similar effect with an EFATO which resulted in smoke in the flightdeck/cabin and flames visible from the engine. He said the shock made the whole scenario completely different to sim training.
Two youtube clips worth sharing:
BA 777 at Las Vegas. Around the 3:00 mark you can see the slides come out but the smoke on the far side is still being blown away from the jet blast off the RH engine. You can just see the R4/3 slides appear as well but they’re clearly being blown around until the engine is shutdown.
Dynamic Airways 767. As soon as the first rear slide appears you can see it being blown away by the jet blast from the RH engine. Makes it quite difficult for the pax to use.
