The problem with the engine controls must have been an intermittent issue, otherwise the Captain would have engaged reverse much earlier and prior...
Assuming it is a problem with the engine controls, the onboard engineer should still be able to stop the engines applying the emergency stop.
+1 Excellent post Meister ... you certainly know your business. I understand why you call yourself Meister. @ Captain Ralph ... I purchased the...
MTU specify that MTU 2000 engine cylinder head bolts should have a maximum shaft length of 212mm. As long as the bolt shaft length is below 212mm...
The MTU cylinder head fasteners are bolts.

Thank you Gentlemen for your feedback. Incorrect torque settings of the cylinder head bolts is the only logical cause behind this failure....
