Must be some good info on a twin that has both engines shut down during flight, the previous post mentions after take off, I wonder how long after T/O they shut down.???

I remember in the mid/late 80s, a few 757/767s had dual shut downs during flight, think reason was pilots using fuel cock instead off EEC switches during a drill for EEC failure, think Boeing view was just a crew problem.

However after a 757 or 767 departing SFO(i think) switched em off at 2500ft, FAA moved quick, temp Mod actioned to have a little plastic or wood block fitted between fuel cocks(not poss to operate both fuel cocks with one hand now) perm Mod to move the EEC buttons away from the fuel cocks.

I would like to hear the CVR from the SFO event, I can guess a few words that may of got a mention that day.!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any info on this 330 would be good.!!!???
