Engine Failure

I was conducting a Super VC10 flight from Bermuda to Barbados. Just after getting to cruise altitude I lost the #4 engine. I gave it full thrust and let the speed settle so that I could estimate the fuel consumption. After being satisfied that I would have plenty of fuel to get to the destination I completed the flight.

Do we need to do repairs on it (G-ASGA) before I proceed on another leg of the caribbean tour? After three flights the AC is still in pretty good shape at 99.4%.

HI Joe,

I'm pretty sure the aircraft will have all 4 engines available for next flight, so no need for maintenance.

It does seem that the VC10's pretty much reflect the real aircraft for failures!! :lol: Just looking at Dan's inaugural flight.. it was like a bad day in the Sim for Tonks!! :shock:

Not had a failure yet but I feel my time is getting close :shock: :worried:
