Cool

Sounds like a textbook engine shutdown and landing performed to the book.

Not even worth the ems in a newspaper for its newsworthiness, but then again there are not many newspapers in this country.

A text book engine shutdown? In the books ive read on the subject you are not meant to shut them down until you land.....

Need to read more books? yes i do, but the point i was trying to make is that an in flight shutdown can hardly be passed off as a routine event not worthy of comment.

Crew did everything by the book, aircraft returned safely but it is still a major incident.
