[QUOTE][All main electric busses remained powered. Finally, attitude at touchdown was 10° ANU, very near manufacturer's recommendation of 11° and definitively inconsistent with idea that low AoA splashdown was achieved.

I claim ignorance as I have not followed the investigation and clearly stated that the scenario possibly required a RAT deployment. Thanks for the facts.. Oh yeah, just one more question... Your reference to 11deg anu... Was it to a water or runway landing?
By high AOA in reference to ditching, I had the probable false perception that a tail strike into the water was the safest scenario prior to the Hudson ditching. Your caustic sentiment to a humble question provided no enlightenment.
A standard AOA in a water ditching is what I perceived as a relatively low AOA. Still no response from the high timers. Is this SOP/tribal knowledge or just a good landing that no one wants to imagine themselves having to perform???
