NRDK - I think you have misunderstood my intent. I was in no way suggesting that the training idle switch should be used during a fire drill. Merely pointing out that the software has been designed to give a fairly gentle deceleration when IDLE (on engine control switch) is selected, rather than going for a max rate deceleration. This makes selecting idle on the wrong engine slightly less disasterous!
