Tried this in the Sim a few years back. Managed to 'drain' all three systems to instigate the failure AFTER putting the gear down at about 15,000 feet.

As has been correctly stated before ALL flight controls are lost and the only means of flying the beastie is by thrust and aysemetric thrust.

A good brief (probably not going to happen if, God forbid, it ever happened for real!) and teamwork got us on the ground. It did take a few attempts mind you, something that real life wouldn't give you but, after a few tries it got progressivly easier to put it down on the airfield.

Not a problem though as, according to Toulouse, it can't ever, never, never, ever happen!
