A colleague of mine flew several profiles on the 777-200 sim this morning (the real one, please, not the MS version) failing various engines at 500 and 300 ft on the LHR 27L model. A failure of 2 engines between 500 and 300 feet, with an attempt to stretch the glide towards stall speed produced a touchdown at a similar point on the visual model as the BA aircraft.
WojtekSz, the experiment related in the posted comment is biased for two reasons:
- Attempting to stretch the glide won’t be obtained by bringing the speed towards stall speed, but by keeping the speed.
- Both engines were not failed but still producing some minimal thrust above flight idle.
Once again, no judgement here on the BA38 crew actions, but I disagree with the main idea you push forward in the thread.
