Idling A Failed Engine To Continue The Flight???
Hi,
I read that it is permissible to idle a failed engine after certain anomalies if engine parameters are in the allowable limits in order to continue the flight.
If this statement is true, here are some questions:
-What are these anomalies?
-Is this valid for all aircraft (all airliners:twin, tri, quad)?
-Are there other factors (besides engine parameters in the allowable limits) that pilots should take in account to decide either to continue the flight or divert (land ASAP)?
-If pilot decide to continue the flight, can he maintain his altitude or the driftdown is necessary (let's say he is flying at altitude cruise in twinjet)?
Feedback appreciated. Thank you.
Best regards.
