WWW - is there something we need to know about Go-Fly......

Don't know much about the little 73, but in man-sized aeroplanes you also lose a considerable number of hydraulic and other systems with total engine failure - it's outside the realms of consideration unless on an ETOPS twin you have a massive fuel leak and an associated single engine failure on that side and then elect to run the 'fuel imbalance' checklist and lose all your remaining fuel as a result....

Once took off from Cyprus and lost 2 engines; whilst completing the drills another failed at around 2500ft . Set full power on the last and flew a 250 kt descent until we were on the reciprocal glidepath, then dropped the gear and reduced to around 210 until sure of getting in, selected flaps and slats t/o and out and kept full power until we landed in that configuration. In the simulator, of course!
