Thanks for your views.

In this particular case, the PIC followed the AFM checklist and OM EOP, shutdown the effected engine and did a single engine run on landing at an airfield. No problem.

My question is, why is this type of emergency handled differently on different types of helicopters? Surely the sensible thing to do here is to get into single engine configuration, bring the "bad" engine to ground idle and monitor it as you go along. If it starts to make a funny noise, shut it down. What if the good dong decides to quit for whatever reason?

What's the procedure for single engine helicopters? Shutdown as well?

What I am trying to establish through this forum is whether there is a case to review the EOP for such emergencies or whether we should take what the manufacturer says without question?

More comments please!
