Experience from other oil related incidents had shown that the engine will work just fine with limited oil as long as you keep the RPM stable. That is probably what led us down the straight in path instead of forced landings.

On the flip side can you imagine if they had proceeded to high key, chopped the throttle, the engine had failed and then they screwed up the forced landing pattern? Guess what the criticism would have been then?!

Maybe the handling advice will be reviewed. But not by me. I’m out!
