Hudson, I also knew Joe Z. What he told us was that the Boeing training philosophy was based on the A & Ns as a common denominator. Our SOPs also required 400' before actioning an emergency or abnormal checklist. An engine fire warning, even if it is genuine does not mean power loss of that engine. Maybe if the flight engineer on the Air France Concorde had not initiated the fire drill on No.2 engine before it was called for, they may have at least cleared the hotel building they crashed into, who knows? How long does it take to climb to 400' with TO power?
