and continue to

Fly the aircraft.

It’s been seen time after time crews diagnosing the problem, is it, is it not and next the aircraft is descending or not following the SID or being late to fly the engine out SID because the aircraft is no longer being flown accurately.

Worst case diagnose incorrectly and start messing with a good engine!

That last ones easy in the sim you programme simple indication faults on the good engine, zeros would be good and everyone gets sucked in diagnosing!

And no ones flying!

”So why did you get that GPWS warning?”

ahh because we were discussing wether it was severe or not.....
Exactly on point. Some people are way over thinking this. Whatever happened to just follow the manufacturers checklist to the letter.
