@RAT 5: You are already on one engine. The fire is given on the only operating engine. Therefore, single engine runway limits and procedures have already been applied, as has the briefing for a SE landing.

The FCTM instructs that a go-around should be conducted to allow sufficient time for reviewing system status, confirm landing limits and briefing. Since that has already been done, I argue that it is safer to continue and land, rather than dragging a burning aircraft around for another approach.

This scenario is contained in a CAAC sim test profile. Ultimately, I suspect, it comes down to the specific culture in China. Do you blindly follow the books and explain what you would have done in real life during the debrief, or do you apply the proper airmanship by continuing the approach and getting the ship safely on the ground - and then argue your case during debrief?
