Don't assume the engine readings were consistent to what they were expecting to see..we still don't know why Engine #1 was shut down and #2 was left unfeathered(if indeed it was the culprit engine. All that was announced in the Mayday call was "engine flame out)...no mention which engine or if both had flamed out.
Thanks for the corrections.
From what I have read the right engine never "Flamed Out" and the left engine was shut down in error.
I would expect that there is some indication or warning when there is an un-commanded Auto-Feather that would tell you which engine was feathered. Is there not?
The "mayday, mayday, engine flameout" call was not really accurate for two reasons.
1) No engine actually flamed out. One was running at idle and the other was shut down on purpose.
2) When both engines are not producing thrust I would call "Double Engine Failure" not "Flame Out".
