Jeff,
I have been taught that, in the event of and engine fire, the quickest
way to the ground from a cruise altitude is to immediately push over
into a Vne dive (after turning off the fuel of course). The supposed
added benefit is that the you might "blow out" the flames. Do you (any
of you) agree with this? What's your plan if you are at say 8000 AGL
and detect and engine fire?
