Actually, the Kegworth disaster would suggest that changing the flight deck from what the crews are used to might be a bad idea. One of the contributing factors in Kegworth was that on the 737-400...

Plus Sully got the APU running so he had full electrical power and all the instrumentation that goes with it.

I rather doubt a 737-200 is going to have a DFDR. More likely one of the old analog tape units - and impact loads/ROD are not likely...

PigBoat87

If you take a look at the Extended Range operations rules (aka ETOPS) for 3 and 4 engine aircraft, you would have seen that years ago. In short, freight operators are basically exempt...

BFSGrad

Depends on the cargo, but after a couple weeks of a broken aircraft sitting on the seabed ~400 ft. down, it's too late to do much about any fluids...

I wouldn't put too much faith in the FDR. Assuming it's the same type delivered with the aircraft 45 years ago (and a cargo outfit is unlikely to update it), it's going to be pretty rudimentary (if...

Sorry, apparently I wasn't clear - the mention of FADEC was regarding newer engines which do have electronic protection of rotor speeds and burner pressure. The JT8D is purely hydromechanical...

Fuel contamination usually takes longer than a few minutes to have much effect - even av gas would be unlikely to take out the engines that fast. The JT8D is also unlikely to be severely affected by...
