Engine number one failure on final approach, select flap 15, set go-around thrust, apply a few degrees pitch up, positive climb, gear up. All perfectly standard so far. One major Hyd pump down, but no worries.
BOAC is correct..... that is utter rubbish.......
Engine failure on finals:
- Disengage autothrottle
- Both power levers to TOGA - Gets you TOGA on the live engine.
- Flap 15 (Try to co-ordinate the rudder to retain the autopilot if it is in)
- Continue descending down the ILS
whilst accelerating.
- On reaching Top Bug (vref +15) continue the approach or announce go-around at the Captain's discretion.
If the live engine will not give you at least 70% N1 (cos it's full of birds) then lower the nose and try to crash as gently as possible.
Normal procedures are that thrust reverse is stowed at 60kts. I do stress that this is normal procedure this event was anything but normal.
More rubbish.... By 60 kts the reversers must be back at reverse idle it is
not required that they should be stowed i.e. at forward idle. On landing selecting forward idle at 60 kts will cause the aircraft to accelerate (albeit gently) at a time when you are using the brakes to bring the speed under control. Reverse idle must be selected by 60 kts to prevent reingestion of hot gasses from the exhaust and ingestion of stones and other FOD from the ground surface.
