Thumbs up There's more..

Thanks Max & m&v,

It all sounds exactly like my company.

Just a thought though; if you're stabilised with, say, @ 81% N1 and you have an engine fail on the apph, surely it won't take much more power to keep you stable on the G/S on one engine? Isn't it safer to select MCT on one, especially with the Autopilot engaged and continue, rather than do a g/a with a failure (at worst, a fire).

Also, if you continued, what would you do with the flaps? Go to F3 or keep FULL?

If you go F3, will the speed de-stabilise?

I'd love to play around in the sim, but the 'keep it SOP' Brigade aren't too keen on experimenting.

More thoughts please.

Regards

CD

PS. No childish stuff please.
