There's no doubt that someone had convinced Andrew (somewhere in his training or checks) that he could get the thing back to YSBK, going down the steps.
Turns out that was bad advice.
There's little doubt that he had heard some company stories that indicated that you could bring in a Mojave with an engine down from FL17 with 140 to run
So. If you've lost an engine with 140 to run, and you think you know why you've lost the donk, and if you're damn sure that whatever cost you one engine won't cost you the other, and you're passing a string of ideal landing spots, and you think you're fine to cruise for another 45 (or so) minutes, risking your own life and those on board, then God Bless You.
BTW - Was this the incident with VH-IGW?
