Weren't an Engine Fire....but when the backs of my Hands bubbled up and burst....that convinced me the fire was far more serious than I had first thought.
That we were IMC over mountains (pre GPS Moving Map ) with some decidedly unfriendly locals...whence the Fire... also played into the decision making.
When you experience a Fire for real...no matter what kind....it is far different than Tea Room Stories and Sim Training experiences....It is REAL and not just philosophical.
That is when you have to slow down, focus your thinking, and make good sound decisions after properly considering all the evidence.
The Bournemouth crew's experience demonstrates that in a very clear manner.
That and everything does not conveniently follow the Check List sequence and fit nicely into the boxes.
