Mesaba Airlines Crash

I don't know about the Avro, but on the ERJ, it's not as hard to leave an engine running as you might expect. If you turn the start/stop selector to "stop", the engine will keep running if the thrust lever is even a little off the idle stop. The checklist now reminds pilots to check the engine gauges to make sure the engine shut down. That's probably true of most FADEC controlled engines.

Any ASA folks remember the "Gadsden chain-link massacre?"

Also, the Continental MD-80 in Newark - the radome ended up just behind the gate counter.

Thank You eagle RJ!

Your post brought it back to me.........the power lever wasnt in idle and just slightly above idle in the story I related earlier.

Thanks for the reminder!
