... Is it possible it happened on this flight?
Does nobody know how to look things up for themselves anymore?
Heard a few rumors that the bird strike on the US Airways flight may have only taken out one engine, but the pilot shut down the wrong engine... I know pilots have mistakenly shut down the wrong engine before... Is it possible it happened on this flight?
Where was the "idiot" comment?Maybe that's what the "idiot" comment on the ATC tapes was about.
"Idiot...you shut down the wrong engine."
Or not....
Where was the "idiot" comment?
I dunnno. I'm hearing "88" something... not "idiot." Maybe a call sign with 88 was being addressed by another controller in the background.
Depends on airspeed and altitude. Mid teens to low 20s N1 down near sea level and below 250 indicated.
Oxlong - you mentioned you observed 38% N1 as ground idle? Was this on a CFM-56? I haven't flown the newer series CFMs, but my experience with the older ones is that they should ground idle at around 21%, and flight idle on the ground (before "shifting" down to ground mode through whatever means the airplane decides it's on the ground) is closer to 38 or 40%.
