Hi all,
No it's not, Centaurus, you just pre-brief the Flight Engineer to have what is required done at the appropriate moment, and it gets done, simple eh!
The 3 crew system works very well, the FO reads the normal c/list whilst the acft is stationary, and the FE reads ALL c/lists when the show is moving!
When a non-normal is being read, the FO flies the acft, and the Capt and the FE complete the necessary c/list, and, during engine fire shutdowns and suchlike, the FE and the PNF confirm each other for the initial actions, then the Capt and FE system restarts!
It all works very well, Cheers
