I'm pretty sure statistically you've got a higher chance of killing someone doing three figures in your Porsche on the motorway than you have doing a low pass in a commercial jet...
Puts things in perspective doesn't it?
Why doesn't an Airbus pilot with access to a sim tell us whether an empty A310 is recoverable from an engine failure at 150ft in a 30 degree banked turn?
Personally, I'll give the pilots the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise.
Because I am a pilot.
On the assumption they did practise the manoeuvre in the sim, I'd be surprised if they didn't cater for this eventuality.
