Anybody want to speculate on the possibility of losing one and then shuting down the good one by mistake?
And has happened on a few occasions.
Possible, as is anything, but unlikely. Loose an engine on a 35 on take off and it's bloody obvious which one has gone.
I cannot speak on the Lear 35 in that condition, as my time in the 35 is very limited.
However, there was a DC-9 accident in the Great Lakes area where the crew lost power on one engine just after takeoff and the pilot flying pushed on the wrong rudder. The DC-9 basically did a snap roll into the dead engine and the altitude was too low to effect a recovery and all on board were killed.
This happend a long time ago and the airline involved was a name of a company not normally assoicated with air carriers.
That is all I can remember about the accident.
Surplus, does that accident ring any bells, seeing we're about the same age?
