B747 Single Engine Approach and Landing at Narita.

Airbubba, thank you. The United incident at Narita is what I was referring to and I was aware that it had been completed on one engine. A very fortunate outcome from a potential disaster. As well as highlighting a lack of system knowledge among the crew the way in which the problem developed also highlighted the fact that not always are selections made monitored to confirm what happens is what one expects to happen.
