Ferrying 737 MAX-8 - engine failure (MCO)
#11
They continued from NM to SAN? And landed at Lindbergh with an engine missing??? As opposed to ABQ or PHX? They had some big brass ones back in the day...

That decision was severely questioned at the time, and IIRC the crew stated that they thought the engine had merely flamed out. Lots of people refused to buy that explanation, and I never heard the outcome.

Pretty hard to believe they dropped to 2,000 considering Deming is at 4,300’ and TUS is at 2,300’. If they’re referring AGL, the two-engine ceiling has to above 10,000’. Continuing on 2 was legal, if worthy of a discussion.

I took an ice ball in #1(72) in ATL one dark and stormy, continued to DTW at 220. When questioned why, pointed out my alt. was CLE.
