on the Kegworth 737 I recall the CC did exactly that & the pilots shut down the wrong engine !
Nice one.

That accident occurred in Jan 1989.

Now here's a quick question for you: since then, how many police aircraft have been lost in air accidents in the UK?

Here's the answer, and it makes pretty ugly reading considering the relatively small number of hours flown:

EIGHT !

Now some of you would sound far more convincing suggesting everything in the garden is rosy, and you can't learn anything about flying, if only the figures supported your arguments.

There are one or two intelligent contributors on here. Just spend a little time thinking about those figures before replying.

Flight Safety is a process. A 'journey' if you like. Some of you talk like you've reached the 'destination'!
