It sounds horrendous to me. I was flying the 400 from 1989 - 2000. I don't remember ever practicing for anything like this on the sim. With all those long sectors over Siberia, The Pond and the North American Arctic it doesn't bear thinking about. It's not possible to lose all 4 generators we were told just like the Death Jet 1 ( DC10 Sioux City). I also flew the A320 88/89 and a similar situation. A fairly recent thread told the story of the Easyjet A319 from Alicante to Bristol that lost all power over Northern France. Apparentently if my memory serves me correct they couldn't deploy the RAT. Perhaps the days of the pilotless airliner will be delayed for a while. Beancounters take note. Well done to Quantas crew for landing the plane without any apparent drama.
