Hey all,

I've had 2 failures today which has really got my adrenalin rushing now!!

Failure 1:

I was taxiing away from the Airport terminal towards the runway when i looked at my gauge and noticed that one engine was providing me
with less thrust so i thought maybe it would even out with a little more power, so i increased my power along the long taxiway and it
started swerving to the left as a result of uneven power, so i took the plane back to the terminal and the Report said i took the appropiate
Action.

Failure 2:

I took off from Heathrow airport and about 15-20 minutes into flight i heard wind blowing louder than usual and then realised it was a
decompression and FA's prepared the cabin for a emergency landing. I declared an emergency not that default ATC cared though. I dived
down to below 10,000 ft (which scared the passengers) and started looking for a Airport with a suitable lengthed runway and found one
9000 odd meters long so i landed there and all passengers survived :-D.
