I'm still relatively new to it, but there is a guy in our department who did the engine out stuff for Pan Am, in fact he was like 1 of a few engineers they had in flight operations engineering. We call him "the professor" for many good reasons. If I don't know the answer to something I can definitely go to a few extremely reputable sources. I'll divulge as mush information as they'll let me regarding some of our challenges, but I can definitely answer or clear up the more general stuff. We do all our engine out procedures in house, courtesy of yours truly. Most of our existing airports need little to no modifications on the procedures expect for "sharpening our pencils" with regards to splay width (obstacle accountability area) and actual aircraft performance; it's the new markets that'll suck a lot of time into the development. That is unless our marketing department is hitting the bong again and is bound and determined to get an equipment type into somewhere it just cannot go, from a performance standpoint. That happens way too many times. In regards to the questions that were asked, let me go home and try and put together a response, hopefully not too technical or lengthy, that try and answers the questions thus far. It's Friday and our little guy, almost 2 now, has some daddy time with Thomas the Tank Engine planned. |
