[QUOTE]Not sure an airplane would actually get certified if its engines "shut themselves down if they don't like it"!!! I presume you're talking about shutting down during an autostart rather than inflight! Autostart is nothing new on Boeings or Airbus though is it??/QUOTE]

Just in case I didn't make myself clear, I was of course, alluding to the ground autostart feature!

If the engines were capable of shutting down in flight with no prior warning the aircraft would certainly not be certified. Any pilot voluntarily operating an aircraft so equipped probably would be certified and quite possibly sectioned as well.
