Thanks JS.
Problem I have is that reastically,how long would it take to get
3 fan blades?The boroscope and two qualified engineers are
available in west Africa.Are there spare blades in the UK?
Anyway they go to Joburg and hire a van to head north but
never make it,hence the crew decide to take a crippled aircraft.

Anyway,been up all night working on another chapter,and I'm
afraid I have another question.Please don't laugh if it just
wouldn't happen.

You are doing a CAT3 landing.Weather is naff.(I won't ask
at this time how you set it up)
You are at say 150ft and it trips or deselects whatever.From
memory the capt has his hand hovering above the throttles.
Given the fact you have a full payload,but not heavy on fuel,
could you pull out or would the aircraft not respond in time?
Would you get a warning that the autoland has tripped?
If even a a lower altitude it fails,would you then just continue
the landing even though you can't see a thing?

Thanks again and please don't shout at me if it's a silly question
