KUDOS TO JOCKSTER for giving us a very plausible scenario.

It might add to his case that a cable news show said: the plane had to be towed off the runway as ITS NOSEWHEEL STEERING DIDN'T WORK.

This implies, or allows me to infer, that they landed on the blue system.

that PTU seems like a weak link...and don't even get me started about the other weaknesses in the 'bus.

and in my free time in the sim...the thing I would practice is flying the thing on thrust changes, both symmetric and assymetric...just in case

and boys...if you are out west...head for EDWARDS dry lake.
