Rat 5
Yes your scenario is a possibility and Jettison en-route would be the thing to do .
I am not criticising this particular crew as All is well that ends well, and no doubt a good job was done.
I was answering JJ A4 query that the option to land overweight is an option with an engine faliure on a twin.
As previously mentioned my company has this policy, I must say a lot of us have recently converted to the twin from decades of flying the quad where the threats involved are not as significant, and I believe the company correctly is trying to re set our brains from Quad to twin.
An example of that mindset change would be to declare a Mayday with an engine failure on take off with the Quad, and downgrade to a Pan if appropriate once secure, however to maintain Mayday status with the twin.
This is my operators Philosophy of which I am very happy with.
Others no doubt will have different Philosophies.
