I understand, Me Myself that the elapsed time from loss of power to impact was 50 seconds +/-. Could you verify that from your SIM session?
Afraid not and if it was, even in the sim, it did feel very very short. Bear in mind this is just something we did at the end of recurent training because we had 10 minutes to spare. No rocket science. We just wanted to get the feel of what these guys must have experienced. We started at 4 dme, configured full flaps and retarded the engine one after the other to end up almost precisely at the same spot. Didn't change flaps setting because we didn't think of it too busy flying, but then, no fence in the sim.
Again, caught in the real thing I really don't know what my reaction would have been and I just hope they would have been along Cpt Burkill's lines.
Any sensible pilot will think the same way.
All of us flying the 777 would really like Boeing to come up with some explanations so it can be fixed and allow us to relax a bit.
