G'day guys,
Looking through the B737 QRH the other day and in the emergency descent checklist, the engine start switches are placed to "ON" in the procedure.
I thought they would be placed to "FLT" mode to offer more protection during the descent, to reduce the chance of flame out on the descent, why is this?
Do some airlines/pilots use "FLT" mode instead of "CONT" mode in this checklist??? (personal preference??)
It says in VOL 2 that;
"CONT position energises the seleted igniter(s) countinuusly".
"FLT position energises both igniters when the engine start lever is positioned to IDLE."
Does "FLT" assure the engines will not flame out on descent??
Thank You.
DW.
