Just landed as an AirTran 717 was cleaning up on downwind after an engine failure in MCO 17L.

Interesting to see him out there at about 1000 feet crawling up the downwind doing his checklist.

He landed a few minutes later and CFR recommended a precautionary evacuation.

Not sure if they popped the slides or used the CFR's airstairs.

Good job guys.
 
What's up with those damn engines? Fan blade seperation suck, last i heard it's going to take a while to get fixed.
 
Rolls Royce has come up with a design change. AAI will do schedule engine changes in the interim on a more aggressive schedule until all engines are retrofitted.
 
I wonder if they will fire the Captain because he taxied to slowly on the way in?

If they don't do it for that, and they evacuated, they might get him for having his uniform on in public.
 
Why in the world would you evacuate after a single engine landing?


Lets see, are you really asking or just trying to be an a$$? If you are asking, there are many reasons why one might evacuate. If you are just being an A$$, remember, glass houses. You weren't there and have no clue what went on.
