is the original thought that made me start the thread. If experienced guys take this approach, maybe I should be much more cautious. However, my 747 friend also told me that during training with an instructor, he experienced an engine-failure. They restarted and landed safely.
But, maybe it's a simple case of "Once bitten". Has Cat Driver had an experience, or are you just very experienced and professionally cautious?
