"Did anybody make mention to the fact that if you are etops certified and you do an IFS, that screws up your etops certification??? The guys did it right, landed with the engine at idle and had maintenance check it. Do you have any idea how long it takes to get etops certified again??

Hi All
"I do not know why some of you are getting upset with what I wrote. I never criticised the crew for their action, All I wrote what airbus recommend during such condition. This is why I wrote in my previous post " I wonder what EY QRH recommend) from procedure point of view, NO MORE NO LESS. I wonder how some of you would really react if you were criticised.I am on you side any way.

As for the ETOP procedure, This aircraft lost the ETOP cat any way. Idle or no Idle, and if I may say this, the oil system on an ETOP aircraft is critical item, Which means even if you disturb the two engine oil system simultaneously while servicing the aircraft under normal condition, the aircraft have to be re-certified again. To get the aircraft certified again it is just a flight test for the duration of the ETOP specified time.

I think the guys did a great job and sorry to interrupt ,but after all this technical info...........Etops certification.....does the EY QRH mention anything about landing at the nearest suitable airport ,cause at one occasion JED controller asked for AMM ETA ,if i am not mistaken and i think they were closer to HAIL at the time of the incident......pls correct me if i m wrong ( just to clarify ).

Erm, Sinbad old fruit. From my recollection, isn't oil used to lubricate and bleed/fan/ambient air used for cooling?

Just a thought, what with all these jibes about FACTS etc.

Sinbad old boy - If you care to re read my post, I specifically referred to the Trent.

I think you need to take an aspirin and lie down for an hour or so.

If you guys can not handle another opinion based on reporting from one of the flight crew (Y O Y)

From YOY: I Think The Crew Handled It Well.... There Was A TRE On Board As Well

If YOY was one of the flight crew then he would know that the person onboard was not a TRE but a Nominated Commander and probably the worst one we have. Thankfully the Captain under check knew what he was doing.

What the?

Well, guess the thread has gone its course, having established the facts and what not eh? Too bad things always take a turn in the wrong direction.
peace.
