La to London on 3

I am from the continent that makes quads, living in the country that makes twins, and flying a tri motor.

There is no way I will continue on with one shut down. I have read enough accident reports to know that you need three events to crash an airplane. Having one engine go out is the first event. Running low on fuel is number two. The call to land should have been made long before you get to Manchester.

Lets do our profession a favor and take the most conservative approach. We would look a lot better in the public eyes if we don't gamble with their lives.
