The “ wheel” of this incident is why the engine suffered a catastrophic failure. The captains out of sequence actions resulted in some slides being unusable. That made the situation complicated for the cabin crew ( v well handled by them ) but it had no effect on the outcome in terms of passenger survival or aircraft damage.
We can all learn from this to be methodical in our actions and cage the chimp but it’s not easy.
Decision making after an RTO is v difficult for any captain especially in LVOs.
Id be reluctant to initiate an evac with just a fire warning and would seek information from ATC,fellow pilots taxiing, cabin crew ,cameras if fitted ,DV window or sending the heavy. back.
But pilots know this should we give up Wiggy?
