I have just come across this interview with the captain on the UAL 1175 incident into Honolulu in which he describes some of the difficulties they experienced. The blade failure was much like the recent one at Denver, but I have not heard of any significant handling problems on UAL 328, does anyone have any information?
This report raises several important issues:-
1. The need to retain good handling skills for when something really difficult happens.
2. The difficulty of maintaining altitude with both an engine out AND considerable excess drag.
3. The validity of the ETOPS assumptions had this incident occurred near the mid point enroute.
4. The value of having an extra crew member in the cockpit (remember QF 32).
Food for thought.
