the concept of the forum lacks the punch of face to face conversation.
when I refer to "brave" I meant those who have never flown a 4 engine plane on 3 engines AND still make posts as if they had.
Was the 3 engine ferry I did unsafe? it was not one bit unsafe for the passengers we left at the gate.
And a lightly loaded BAe146 with just 2 pilots and proper fuel for a flight from KSJC to KSAN flys with complete lack of oomph for just about anything. I think we barely made FL180 and that seemed to take forever.
Read the manual someday and enjoy the special things you have to do.
AS to REGS aforementioned (up a couple of posts)...the regs even say I can loop the Golden Gate Bridge, if it is the only way I can save the plane(ultimate authority of the pilot in command)...( a heck of a lot of explaining if that were the case)
But you might remain correct on one concept...you can't regulate good sense!
