Nice little jolly for an engine change. What are the local bars like?
only one I recall was the El Al 747 freighter in Amsterdam, but i seem to recall they had lost both engines on one side
Bit different to a 'routine' inflight shutdown.

If I remember correctly GEnX comes in three parts with some assembly required instructions. AI B787 changed a GEnX at BUD. Based on posts from local folks, it was lot of fun with limited facilities.

It is better to avoid turns into a dead engine - on all twin engine airplanes. There were simply too many related accidents.

Furthermore, I don't recall ever having seen this restriction mentioned in any Airplane Flight Manual that I have studied.
I'm not trying to score points: I would genuinely be interested to learn where and when this particular piece of pilot's 'folklore' originated.
Thanks!

Good to know, as twins are getting ever bigger, logistics related to engine mx becoming ever more complicated.

It is most definitely a throwback from the old days when propellor driven aircraft provided extra lift over a wing with the prop wash. For an engine out scenario, turning into a live engine kept the wing that wasn't "blown" by the failed engine propellor on the outside of a turn, at a slightly higher airspeed (more lift) than the into turn wing, reducing the chance of stalling.
Of course this is of virtually no help with an underwing jet.

Excuse my ignorance but is it normal for US airlines to not put anything in the FMC for arrival or tune up the ILS if they are expecting a visual approach?
I don't understand how in this day and age with all the technology available on the flightdeck that you could actually line up on the wrong runway. How hard is it to program a runway extension?
Southwest did it last year now Delta. What are people doing for an arrival brief and setup? Not alot I would suggest.....
