Normal cost.
If you run an airline, this will happen. Its part of normal cost.
I suspect a lot of pilots want to help the company by selecting a convenient airport.
Murphy, and the local CAA dont see it that way.
Firstly, in this case the cost is big, regardless. Need an Antonov, no hangar big enough, need to divert a A330 or bigger asap and feed out their pax anyway. Bla Bla Bla.
At the end, Frobisher Gander Goose Søndrestrøm or Churchill for that matter, no one has a spare laying around in a big hangar.
THE RISK of getting creative on one engine up north has only one outcome if the last one gives in.
And Yes, the statistical chances are slim. For certification.In real life much higher.
In real life we, together with Murphy come up with ever more ways of going
gliding 101.
I repeat myself: , land at the nearest suitable( or ASAP i think AB says).
gives the commander a direct order.
What company thinks is not remotely interesting, but can be deadly in delay of heading for a safe haven.
Up north you are always running a" hallo, goodbye list "of ASAP divert, that beeing for medical, unruley pax, smoke, fire, engine fail etc.
There is no ideal end to the story. Just a safe landing.
This was the ideal divert.
If it gets to cold , Boys , head over to the Antonov, they still have anti frezze
100 proof
