Thanks for the reminder on how to fly. I remember exercise 1, "effects of controls" although it's some 13,000 hours ago for me.
Two crews were overwhelmed by these aircraft, so clearly it's not quite as simple as you suggest.
Shame you weren't in command I guess, it would all have been sorted out in a few seconds....,
That is a cheap shot. Sully and hundreds of pilots like him have achieved things I could maybe not have achieved, but I do know how to!! Al Haines, Sioux City - look at that one on tube. BA 747 over Jakarta All four engines flamed out. Safe landing. Not in the "book" that some of you guys are referring to. Lots of stuff in not in any book. These two were. STAB RUNAWAY.
BA 777 Heathrow couple of years ago. Saved 400 lives using pure flying skills. Double engine failure like Sully. I have been involved in training a major airline recently and all these skills are taught and practised including landing with no engines.
Cheers
