Hi LEM,

You have got some great sim instructors haven't you!

My ruler across the line drawings shows that the 737-300 will possibly touch the cowls, the -500 will probably touch, and that the -400 and all the NG's will miss.

I have had a look through my library of photos of such incidents but there always seemed to be rescue vehicles in the way of the cowls to see if it actually is the case.

Incidentally, the aircraft coming to rest in an unusual attitude is one of the occaisions that our cabin crew can initiate an evacuation without instruction from the Captain. So you may want to check your door lights to see if they have not already gone!

S&L
