B777 over the atlantic
dear all
now heres the scenario, your a pilot of a B777 and your half way over the atlantic, or basically beyond the point of return.
Theres an engine failure, what would be the procedure and would u be able to continue on one engine and for how long?
as with the B747/A340 or any other 4 engine a/c u could continue as u have three engines to rely on in an event of engine failure so surely on that principle atlantic flights should be 4 engined a/c.
i know that 777 engines produce more thrust then 747s being 100,000lbs and 60,000lbs respectively but crossing terrain where there is little chance of making an emergency landing warrants 4 engines if the above principle is correct.
any answers would be welecome.
