Mutt is correct....

Mutt is correct.....it depends on the standards under which the aircraft was certified. His B-777 was, I believe, certified, after certification standards underwent major changes (subtle on the surface, but quite significant).

FAA/JAA and manufacturers have been for years aware of the shortcomings of this stop/go dilemma. The accident I cited in my above post brought to light the issue of inadequate certification standards in this reagard.

Of course, your company's SOP takes priority over everything...as this is one of the predicates upon which the airline operating certificate is granted. (I know, this is a controversial statement.... But, you need to follow your SOP. If you find a problem with anything in your company's SOP, you should bring this to the attention of management.)

And, as always, be careful out there....
