For the newbies please take retired guys advice carefully.
There was an uncontained fire on WE The billion dollar question is why? Read the report especially about the position of the fuel control switch on the affected engine.
A nod to Ms Harrison your bravery knew no bounds.
please fly the jet action the memory drill accurately and clean up. The need for an immediate return is remote and yet the scope for cocking it up rushing is massive.
consider the following:
surge on departure decision to return below transition Alt
Unanunciated fuel jettison checklist actioned up to but before fuel jettison complete. Checklist blanked from lower EICAS.
Aircraft flown around the pattern descent and approach checklist omitted
Landing checklist called for...... guess what pops up? Yep the fuel jett checklist. Now the crew cease fuel jett.
just a thought.
