Thanks whoknows idont: Quite true, I meandered into my usual description of why I think Eurocopter/Airbus tells us to close the fuel valve and arm the fire extinguisher before shutting down the engine, rather than shutting down the engine and then shutting the fuel valve. Quite agree, there is no delay shown in the drills and I have never taught a delay in shutting the engine down after pressing the emergency off switch but I do recommend running your hand down the CAD indications of Fuel Valve Posn/Fuel Valve Closed indications to lead your hand to the correct engine control switch.
