thanks for the input. in fact, the engine core lock thing is brand new to me.
let's say a suitable ERA is 200nm away when both engines flame out. we're over the Phillippines at FL400 and no significant terrain exists. Now,having confirmed that tonnes of fuel are in tanks, would you still go as per QRH to 300 knots straight away?
we may descend at roughly 1500-2500 fpm until we reach the APU assited start altitude of FL250. is attempting a windmill start straight away at 300 knots giving you a higher chance of survival than trying to glide as far as possible before an APU start is available?
i'm a new junior crew member on the bus. The check capt and a line capt have split approaches towards the scenario.
