EasyJet 737 taxiing flaps extendend in STN
Hello,
about two days ago I saw a easyjet 737 at stansted taxiing in with flaps extended and I think using only one engine.
rumours say that the one engine overheated after landing.. does anyone have any more information, or correct information regarding this..
take care,

Or maybe it was because the engine was shut down after it had just failed during the application of reverse thrust and the flaps were kept down just in case the overwing exits had to be used????
Just a thought!!
1 new CFM56-3 later and all's well.

I have taxied in with flaps out for two reasons in the last few years:
(1) The FO forgot to select them up, and I didn't spot it (doh!)
(2) After a birdstrike or possible birdstrike on final, when leaving them down makes the subsequent look-see easier.
Thinking about it, (2) is a pretty good excuse to have up your sleeve when (1) happens... 'Doh' again.
Mind, it's worth telling ATC as some believe that this is an indication of one of those things we don't talk about here...

So much for that secret!
How could you tell if it was out of sight?
I saw a A330 that didnt retract gear till he was out of sight

I thought that is what it stood for? Obviously I am wrong.... or am I?

OK... OK! You can leave the moderating to the mods. When we catch somthing like this we will deal with it. No need for the 'Mr Angry from Purley's" to jump on the bandwagon even if some of the replies were humorous and tongue in cheek.
For those of you who wish to take part in the feeding frenzy when an innocent posts a question then I have copied the unexpurgated version of this thread in Jet Blast. As for the rest of you, please try and be gentle with the questioner and wait and see if there was any incident. If there was, then no doubt someone will come back with an explanation and if there wasn't then this thread will just drift down the list into PPRuNe oblivion.
Oh, and stop giving away all those secrets about "How to survive being a captain".
