A colleague of mine flew several profiles on the 777-200 sim this morning (the real one, please, not the MS version) failing various engines at 500 and 300 ft on the LHR 27L model. A failure of 2 engines between 500 and 300 feet, with an attempt to stretch the glide towards stall speed produced a touchdown at a similar point on the visual model as the BA aircraft.

All this proves is that the simulator software will produce this effect. It does not indicate that a double engine failure on a BA 777 in that environment will produce the same effect. However, for those of you who are professional pilots on B777 this may be of interest to you.

Like most of the professional pilots on this site, I despair of the ignorance of many posters.

Please ladies and gentlemen, if you are not a professional pilot with experience of flying a 777, restrict your posts to facts that you know, or facts that have been communicated to you. Ask as many questions as you like, and ppruners with appropriate experience will attempt, bandwith permitting, to give you answers.

If you post rubbish, you will be judged and classed by professional pilots as rubbish.
