I don't fly jets, so I couldn't tell you for their situation. I know with multi-engine props, if you suspect an engine failure you throttle back the engine you suspect is bad (don't turn it off) for verification. If one engine stays up to speed, you have the right (failed) one and can shut it down and attempt a restart. If it gets real quiet then you got it wrong and can throttle up the good one again to stay aloft. I am not familiar with the emergency procedures for jets though, but I suspect something similar. Remember also that airline pilots are extremely well trained and have a checklist to follow for just about every conceivable emergency. -Justin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:295924 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
