Actually foils, in the sim you would not believe how many people try to fly out of the situation and try to keep hope alive rather than accept the reality and close the levers and plant it.

We have conducted this as an advanced loft, with they guys who have got all the competency and boxes ticked and there is a bit of time left in session.

About 70% try to fly it and just relocate the scene of the accident 30% put it back down---- 10% intentionally and its those who manage to plant it call for full flap, brake brake brake, thud, evacuate.

Occasionally we get one starter who manages to pull off a low level circuit on min power and its all hands flying, don’t change a thing in the configuration and turn finals < 100ft…… then select landing flap.

These guys are one offs and all to date come from a rigorous hands on flying environment
