B747 Plane crash at Halifax NS - YHZ
I am not a pilot, just a crew member. I have followed this thread avidly because I have a strong connection with one of the people involved. These questions may appear superfluous to the experienced and for that I apologise.
There are two things that I don't understand.
When flying a 747-200 there are two pilots and a flight engineer who all have to agree on the EPR, is that right?
Secondly, if it is known that the aircraft is heavy and that at the end of the runway is a bern built out of concrete, can the EPR not be set so that the engines have full thrust regardless - or are there likely to be consequences of setting the engines to full power even if it may not be required.
