Carry out the drill and do an engine out approach, not least because no N1 , N2 suggests to me the engine is not producing thrust, if, infact, its still on the wing!
Trying to second guess the cause of the problem is counterproductive. Assume the engine is dead and concentrate on the single engine procedure.
Simples.
Put the jet safely on the ground and THEN make further detailed analysis of the engine problem.
, so perhaps you should ask your instructor exactly what he meant by “engine failure”,
The 737 flies perfectly well on one.
( and yes I was a trainer, trained by Boeing on the 73 with 8000 hours on the type)
Ex 73 - absolutely agree.
