I'll never forget my first sortie on the OCF about 11 years ago. After all I had read about the Mull incident I was a bit apprehensive about flying what looked to me like a big bag bag of spanners. As I pulled the first engine condition lever (throttle) back to idle (on the ground I hasten to add) the engine failed to respond and error messages became abundant on the FADEC panel. The only way to shut down was to pull the fire handles..."great start" I thought.
