Default 737 thinks it's a DC-10?

I think the only pilots that can answer this are the ones who have
done it. In the checklist it is treated the same as a fire or severe
damage (Like throwing a blade). It happened in England years ago on a
737 and a AA 727 landed with the #3 engine missing and according to
folklore they didnt know the engine acually separated from the
airplane until they were on the ground . It seems the plane would fly
easier without the drag of the windmilling engine.


I would think that an engine loss would have made a noticeable
difference
in CG, no?


Nah, they're pretty much on the CG on that airplane
