| Nov 20, 2015 at 11:07 | comment | added | eduardoguilherme | I still have a question: Suppose, engine number 1 fire (twin engined aircraft). For any reason (poor training or poor CRM), the crew shut the engine number 2 down. TO AVOID THIS, is there any procedure (standand one) to be followed, to avoid this to happen? | |

| Nov 19, 2015 at 14:51 | comment | added | Simon | The main problem as I recall was that their systems knowledge was not up to date on the 734 and they had received no type training. On 731, 732 and 733, cabin conditioning air was drawn from engine 2. On the 734, it is drawn from engine 1. They could smell smoke co-incident with the engine failure and the bad systems knowledge was a strong driver in their decision that engine 2 had failed. | |
