engine fire probability

[Jeremy]

I am curious: If I set the failure probabilities to the setting one dot above "none", what is the probability of actually having a failure?

[Lou_Betti]

Still greater than it would be in real life! :-lol

Honestly, I don't know. Paul put that bloody feature in!

Besides, Jeremy, if we told you the probability, that would take all the fun out of it! ;-)

Reality: Most pilots go through their entire careers without ever experiencing and engine failure / fire / etc.

So, ya' set yur setting, and take yur chances!

My response is all in good fun, yet it is quite accurate!

Happy New Year,

Gee, a six-line response without actually saying anything! Maybe you should go into politics, Lou!:-lol :-lol :-lol


(please please don't throw me off the forum.. please...)

Oh I certainly did say something, I said I did not know! :-lol

I has at least 3 engine fires and 1 brake failure since the 727 released. Is there anyone had two engine failures in same flight?

Good queston- the probability factor.
Actually my father had two engine failures flying 33 years for a major airline and I had one engine failure flying for a regional. Not to mention some other equipment emergencies or failures. lr.

[execeng]

For your info, I selected the lowest setting for brake failure and engine fire: Had a brake failure at flight no. 12 and an engine fire at flight no. 22. lr.

I had my first brake failure today. Them there approach lights taste like chicken.

I had a brake failure on the 3 or 4 flight, but I discovered it before takeoff and aborted the flight.

Pneumatic brakes are nice... :-)
