A good idea....?
One poster here mentioned going off route to 'experiment' with varoius configurations etc, to enable the offending engine to remain running.
Experimentation can be carried just a bit too far.
Recall Alaska Airlines and their ill-fated MD-80 just offshore in California with tailplane trim problems.
Had these folks diverted when this problem was first noticed, they might well be alive today, together with all their passengers.
Leave the test flying to the test pilot pros, and use your standard simulator practiced abnornal procedures for unusual situations.
Don't end up dead trying to be a hero.
