Single engine out abort-to-destination
This is actually an aircraft event, but of interest to sci.space.* because
of multi-engine discussions (and frequent upwellings of trans-atlantic EOP rules discussions). from http://ktla.trb.com/news/local/ktla-me-britair1mar01-lat,0,6849216.story?coll=ktla-newslocal-1 quote from the Los Angeles Times Jet Flies On With One Engine Out Despite LAX takeoff malfunction, British Airways pilot continues nonstop trip to London. The 747 lands safely but short of its destination. By Eric Malnic and Hector Becerra Times Staff Writers March 1, 2005 A British Airways jumbo jet lost power in an engine on takeoff from Los Angeles International Airport last month, but the pilot elected not to make an emergency landing for repairs, deciding instead to continue the 5,400-mile, transatlantic flight to London on the remaining three engines, officials said Monday. Because of unfavorable winds and inefficiencies resulting from the engine loss, the Boeing 747-400 burned more fuel than anticipated, and the pilot was forced to cut the nonstop flight short and land in Manchester, England, the airline said.
