Boeing Engine Failure Question.

[160knots]

If I was flying a B767 and the FMC had been programmed for say single engine acceleration of 800ft. However the climb out for 2 engines was programmed for a thrust reduction at 1500ft and acceleration altitude of 3000ft, Flaps15 for take-off.

With those conditions say an engine failed at 2000ft and the flaps were at 15. Climb thrust was indicated on the EICAS. What would be your actions??

Any 767 or 777 drivers out there wish to comment?

Engine Failure at 2000 Feet

Absent of SOPs and the associated checklists (I've never flown for your company, nor have I ever flown a B-767 or B-777.), the generic course of action would be:

1. Set MCT,
2. Disengage AutoThrust,
3. Level off,
4. Accelerate,
5. Clean up,
6. Climb.

.................and do not forget to CONSIDER joining an Engine Inop route if appropriate!

Yes, you're right!

Ref BOAC,

Yes, that is correct, too. However, most of the single-engine procedures I've seen had a diversion point well before the point where you'd be at 1500 feet. As you know, with an engine failure after the diversion point, you're expected to continue on the normal, all-engine departure route.

But, you provide a very, very good point.

I would think your question has been answered in another forum.

PantLoad - that is why I said "an Engine Inop route" rather than "the". As the saying goes - that's when you earn your four stripes.
