you work at RR coventry??
if so you overhaul our engines! LOL
no work for rolls royce derby, what company you work for? we may still do them here, but if its the small engines like "teys" then we dont!

depending on the cause of the engine failiure they wont always make an emergency landing, if its a fire on it they'l probaby want to do an emergency land, if the engine has just packed up some reason, say a bird flys in and smashes a few rotors they'l probably just shut it down and continue on thre way

no Stephen, that goes against international protocol. If an aircraft suffers any kind of engine failure, it must divert immediately to nearest airport, ONLY once all efforts to restart the engine have failed. remember, if they cannot start the engine, it may be a larger problem that could effect the safety of the aircraft, or compromise its ability to land at the destination.

yeah well an APU is just a small get engine that runs at 100% at all times, well most are about 99% in reality so it has a sump and oil supply just as any engine would. It usually runs off a fuel pump in the left wing and has it supply line from thereish. I've never ever heard of a limit to how long you can run an APU for to be honest, apart from only as long as fuel permits! i cant think of any reason why there would be alimit i've know them being run for ages on the ground and i mean hours and hours not very ecconomical but its sometimes the only option. I'd say the flight would have ended before you reached a limit anyway if there is one unless its different due to alt but i dont see any reason why and havent heard of it

well actually i was extremely surprised to learn that this isnt always the case on a twin engined aircraft yeah but on something such as a BA 747 they are well within the rights to continue even over the pond with an engine down even if it happens on take off after V1 there was reports of it beging done at least once a 2005 saftey review i recently read. This is assuming it ocmplies with the airlines own individual operating procedures
