HarryMann:
You would have to make a case for:
No Maydays, ELT
Inability to re-start lower down
What ACARs tx this would or wouldn't have generated
1. No Maydays heard, doesn't mean they didn't try; radio com problems reported all over this zone (weather?) and radio problems with this particular aircraft.
2. or engine refight too late. The process is not easy, based on speed and altitude which will lack in the first place; need to troubleshoot many other problems at the same time; need to make distress call with unreliable radioset due to lack of main power.
3. NIL...no more ACARS in case of double engines flameout.
