Is there in fact any previous recorded occurrence of an airliner that has managed to perform a safe planned low level engine-out landing at an airport, without major damage? Or, for that matter, any occurrences that did not go well?
Gimli and Air Transat/Azores come to mind as airport landings, but both cases started from cruise altitude with lots of planning time. Ryanair 737 in Rome did not really have any option, and BA038 neither.
