Dani - I'm not really sure WHY I'm bothering to reply to you, but here goes, and statements like
And it is confirmed: They would have made it to La Guardia.
lead me to to seriously question your claimed profile.

However, what is the point of that statement? It may well be true. So? I'm pretty sure the crew would have been mentally reviewing the progress as it went along. Looking at the timeline I cannot believe you would have committed to La G, not being 100% sure

a) what had actually happened
b) what else might fall off
c) what the implications would be if it went wrong on finals

and

d) did the trial allow for a reduced power takeoff?
f) did it assume 'normal' climb profile to 3000'?
f) has it been 'confirmed' with 2 stopped front fans?

On that last topic I can assure you that your descent profile is NOT what you think it is. I discovered that in a Harrier. I suggest you leave this topic alone?
