Certainly, US Airways and Air Transat have given Airbus some modeling data on the A320 and A330 that might be useful.

Seriously, the important thing is to quickly, but accurately, size up the performance available, which won't be a "by the book" number, and using the energy available create a trajectory to a survivable landing.
