Although we don’t know the exact position and energy state of the aircraft when a loss of power occurred, it is evident that the pilot did not lose control; this could so easily have become a LOC-I statistic. The priorities are: Aviate, Navigate, Communicate. There may have been very little time for “navigate” (we don’t know at the present time, an investigation would reveal more information), but the pilot kept with the “aviate” whilst no doubt in a very difficult situation.
