And we come back to the time honored way every time. Work with what you have, forget about what you have lost, and if you have had the basics hammered into your head from day one of your flying career, chances are you will get the bus on the ground. In my career, I had loss of nose wheel HBA/MEL, lost a donk on TO full pax, full fuel, and a freckin roman candle coming out of the left donk out of CBR, and God only knows how many other little set backs that buggered up my day, and each time was blessed with a competent F/O and flighty, a competent experienced flight deck, that handled both possible disasters, with training and experience. All former bush pilots, GA pilots, the training showed. I might add these experienced hero's made their way to the nearest pub, after all the stress, and got totally pissed, but hey we deserved it!
