MR8, many thanks for your reply and hope the beer was cool, I don’t know how much a pint is now but one from the pump would be very welcome at almost any price just now.
The automatic relight is assuring and thanks for information regarding the RAT, engage brain before writing springs to mind on that one. However I am still a little concerned about the engines ability to flame out in these conditions, and the historical evidence of double engine failures occurring. Has this affected the ETOPS certification and the flight envelope of A/C types fitted with this engine. I assume that the OEB modifies the operating parameters to take the engine out of this area thus reducing the chances of similar failures.
Thanks again MR8, should the in-flight movie screen go blank the cabin lights go out and the engine noise stop on my QA flight to PCD next month I will know that the chaps in the pointy end are well prepared.
