Controlling ME aircraft by engines alone
Evening all
I Have just read the thread on the DHL A300 that the crew managed to land after a missile strike. After remembering back to the DC10 that crashed in Sioux City a few years ago after loss of all hydraulics, I was wondering if any of you could give me any info on how controllable ME aircraft are, when all you have is engine power. I have only ever flown singles, and while I can see how using asymetric thrust can be used to control heading of the a/c, I wonder how you would pitch a/c up for landing etc.
Is this something that is routinely practised in the simulators?
