One cannot help but wonder if the guys in the 4-engine flame-out due to volcanic ash somewhere over Indonesia, so many years ago, had already practised it in the sim, too......
They hadn't practised it I'm sure - none of us had. All of the current QRH checklists for total engine failure on Boeings, and I think Buses, are based on what F/E Barry T. Freeman actually carried out on that event. Must be nice to be remembered as the the bloke who invented a checklist on the spur of the moment that all operators worldwide now use.

Apologies for thread creep everybody.

Back to the wax. -47; -50 etc etc.
