Min fuel ops - why not shut down one engine?
wouldn’t that be common sense in a pickle of a situation when making the apt on remaining qty seems doubtful? Considering that even @ idle fuel continues to be burned in exchange for a little in the way of thrust, wouldn’t conserving some of it be a fair trade for an intentional OEI ldg?
What about 3&4 engined apl's, is that part of the min fuel non-normal cklist?
P-3’s and other patrol a/c shut down 2 engines routinely to remain aloft for 18 hrs…
Which two would go, in- or outboard?
