I know Valley very well although my Hawk time was only AFT & TWU. Aircraft there regularly fly PEFATOs to R19/01 from the longer R13/31, the only time you tend to see a return to the take-off runway is with engine problems resulting in a fixed throttle setting approach, think in the ‘80s it was normally ‘low oil pressure’ etc. The report only mentions that the Sim duty was 45mins instead of the usual 1hr but I can’t help thinking that maybe part of it was either contentious or did not go to plan on an EFATO if flown in the Sim. Would it be a case of trying it out in the real aircraft to make sure that it would work? I flew numerous Pax on the Fin but never would contemplate carrying out simulated emergencies with them. Lastly, although we didn’t fly PEFATOs on the JP 5 we did do Glide Breaks which were probably the closest scenario I.e. on the break throttle idle until touchdown using energy management, configuring as required.
