Hmmmm.

.75nm to run, at least 45 - 60 seconds to the deck. That's quite a bit of time to carry out essential fire drill (memory items, not the full check list), surely?

Too heavy after a transit? Practically.... I beg to differ. Overtorque the good engine if you have to, but get the thing on the deck: there is no safer option.

(Been there, done that: one engine blew up in flight 10 minutes after refuel, heavy, inter-rig shuttles, 5 feet run on needed without overtorquing. Bugger the charts )
