My call for JetCat to improve their manuals , particularly in the most essential aspect of failsafe setting, seems to have met with underwhelming indifference, no doubt born of complacency. It is with regret that I advise you all that it can all go horribly wrong in the best regulated area of jet engine operation and did last night.

A young aircraft engineer was killed when he was sucked in to the engine of an Airbus A321 during ground runs. Couldn't happen, shouldn't happen, it DID happen. Let it be a lesson to ALL of us that jet engines of ALL sizes need to be treated with the greatest respect.
