Everyone is correct in so many ways. I'm also curious that he banked 37.5 INTO the LIVE engine. That takes a lot off very deliberate control input. The fact that N1% was reduced made it easier. At 100% it would have been extremely difficult. As for the F/O, was he sitting there waiting to be toast? The questions arise as to where these guys were trained? They must have flown for an airline before they became contractors. What background checks did the agency carry out, and what checks/tests/training did RAM conduct? The latter should be very interesting and necessary to their local CAA.
