i think boeing designed it, so it was to continue to a nearest suitable airport, so you can land safely asap. different story maybe if in cruise, but at a couple of hundred feet off the ground......and you continue.....your a brave man.

get it safely on the ground asap, let someone else worry about the costs. its not worth the gamble, no matter how many redundacy systems there are. yes it can do it, but what are you proving by continuing?


how does the expression go, there are old pilots, and there are bold pilots, but there aint old and bold pilots.
