That's an absolute over simplification....here is what we do "know"...
1) At no point did the PIC declare an emergency to the other two
2) At no point did he assign tasks or ask for the appropriate checklist
3) At no time did he clearly state his intentions
Given the apparent detail specific to the video recording that was disclosed any of these would seem merit a mention.
We do not know if the above actions would have changed the outcome, and we do not know if the LAME did or did not act unilaterally in managing the engine fire
but we do know that the report does not mention a single specific command action from the PIC....so either you have a gross misrepresentation of events or there
simply was not an expected appropriate response to the engine fire....
