I've been very interested in this item because it appears that many of you pilot and co-pilot types have let your guard down with respect to this thronomister.
From what you've said it appears to be only used on multiple engined planes, and that it's required for hydraulics and steering. You've also let slip that it's on engine number 2.
Some questions for you.
1) Does this mean that engine number 2 is a target for terrorists? The engines os most aircraft seem to be exposed at the front and back, so couldn't terrorists target them?
2) I've heard that some parts of big planes have plutonium or uranium (or something) in them. Is it this part?
3) If you can lose control with a faulty thronomister (it seemes to be used for landings with cross winds) does it only affect steering, or up and down control too.
Thanks.
one more thing. are engines counted from the left or right, and is it when you are facing the plane, or facing the same way? Or are the numbers random for security?
