Flight Engineers
Out of curiosity, do flight engineers still exist on commercial jets?
Are they pilots with specialized training, or a different career path? Do they do things that a pilot couldn't, or they just concentrate on the mechanical side of things?
I was wondering because in this post, one reply said that in the Belfast, the pilot would call torque and the engineer would set it.
Thanks
