Fuel injected engines simply can never be allowed to run dry as they may prove to be impossible to restart.

Why would that be?

If an engine can be started on the ground then it can surely be started in the air.

If one slowed down enough to stop it windmilling then yes it could be a sod to restart... the starter motor would be needed, obviously.

Has anybody else noticed the "quote" button missing?

Sorry for the thread drift but (being in Greece on 3G) I have just opened up a VPN to my office and using that, the problem disappears! Looks like the Greek 3G network (COSMOTE) is eating some bits of pprune's HTML
