JAL No:2 engine not Running.
I didn't know where to put this post, but i have a question and it relates to JAL 777-246, JA711J Which landed yesterday (2/11/12). Here is a photo, in it you will notice that only one engine is running (No 1), the other has been shut down. Question is, is this a normal practice where one engine has been shut down whilst on final?
Thought I'd ask considering i don't look into the tech side of things. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8047/8...f8fc5f18_c.jpg Mods feel free to move post if not belonging to this thread. |
Its just an optical illusion,notice how the left engine looks smaller than the right one.
|
It wouldn't be normal as both engines would be required in case of a go-around. If it had been shut down it would've been for tech reasons (ie vibrations, pressures, some other indication on the flight deck).

Rowan that's what I would've thought, or as a hypothetical, a bird strike in No:1 in which case No:2 would have to be on just in case. |
