I, too, think this thread is invaluable.

There is, however, a limit to how sensible it is to practice (or should I say overpractice) emergency situations. I think we have looked in general at specific problems, and how they could be mitigated in order to make a safe landing. Many problems, though, will manifest as a combination of several individual events.

I suspect, therefore, that what we should concentrate upon is to establish the principles of mitigating system failure, so that multiple systems failures, or indeed a single system failure manifesting in a way differing from those we have practiced, can be survivable.

A long-winded way, perhaps, of saying don't just practice, think as well.
