Oil pressures tend to be the first lights to go out and last to come on. Flow would fall away but that is a function of HP pump draw, tied to RPM. Hyd pressures have an accumulator that holds some system pressure against the transmitter so drop is delayed. The pilot had deceleration and RPM wind down as a decision. It was falling off the end of the ramp. Pull handle.That simple a get out decision. Sorry gents, I worked as a certifier on a jet airliner last week. I know how systems work and have currency. Even with my off shift wine content. Journo reading this. Flying machines are called aircraft, not planes.Sort your use of the English language out!
