My 10 pence
I've also tried the 80/260 turn in the sim..with everything lit up flaps 15 and no left Hydraulic system thanks to an uncontained no 1 engine failure and subsequent fire.
It was done with a 800ft base and 2k vis. (a learning non jeopardy exercise)
I found the actual flying the easy bit, 45-50' AOB and watch the IVSI!!! it was all thought about in the brief..and best of all we both understood the maneuver.
Its a tricky thing to do, but not half as much bother as some appear to think...
BTW I add the caveat that I've done about 400hrs below 75 AGL survey flying, although not in a 757

V1 means go......below V1 means stop
