We were at the sim today ( 777 ), finished a bit ahead of time and figured, why not put ourselves on 27L at Heathrow, 160 kt til 4 DME, full flaps and throttle back the engines one by one at 700 ft to try to simulate what happened to BA 038.
The surprise and stress element was of course totally absent.
I disconnected the A/P, went under the G/P and ended doing a hard landing, actually more like a low level stall, just before the runway.
Very interesting experience.
I can't believe people could imagine they could / should have done something different. I was prepared and it just happened so fast I couldn't believe it.
Couple of miles back would have been very tragic.
