Crossunder - 'xackerley! That's the way it should be. Every pilot should know the safest course at all times - situational awareness you say? (not only in this situation - call it mission planning for the whole flight)
Do all airlines/operators have this Engine Failure Porcedure for the airfield before their pilots step into a cockpit?
Regulations say (imply by covering their rears) we should!
No 'one' policy for different airlines out of the same airport exists. But as long as it's safe, and taught, and briefed,.....and exists, that's my concern w.r.t. thread.
I feel much better with the thoughts this thread has provoked. Still.....
