If you're concerned give them lat long to 4 digits. ;)

You don’t think there is a bigger chance of a second failure? Nothing common like fuel flow that could impact the other engine also? Also, theoretically you're gonna work the other engine harder than normal.

So you are admitting you are DB Cooper?

I admit I’m terrible at naming things. I’m a software developer by trade and I can write good code very quickly until I have to name a variable or function. DoStuff() DoMoreStuff()

So much for trying to be creative with the thread title.

The switches are usually really close to the bus. The load is usually really far from both.
