Mmmm.......so how does one plug "a type of failure that has not happened before" into an equation to assess ETOPS.
Not really a question, just the type of thing I mull over while on one engine and with a wet horizon in every direction.
When you fly you fly with a split of unknown mechanical risks (latent failures, wings about to fall off, etc.) and known risks, problems which are known and being addressed over a stipulated time period.
Thank goodness this is now known and will be fixed. However, it's generally the unknown ones that are going to get you, like forgetting to transfer fuel correctly between tanks
