Can any 717 drivers help with these few questions?
1. What is the engine-inop landing flap setting for the 717?
2. What would be the ref speed + wind additives for the above, at near max landing weight?
3. Any systems degraded with an engine out? (flight controls, anti-skid etc) This may be an issue on a 30m wide, 2000m runway, elev 1700'.
4. Was the runway wet? Windy?
A combination of some of these might make EMS's on standby a good descision?
I am not saying what is right or wrong, but I would not like to be the one sitting in front of the enquiry if things didn't go to plan, and then trying to answer the question as to why were EMS's not requested/required when they were available?
Food for thought.
