three green...I read "the left seat" many years ago too. serling (the non twilight zone brother ) was great...didyou ever read, 'wings"...it was a fictionalized story of aleghany airlines (now usairsoontobeamerican).
great books...imagine real books with real paper!!!!
anyway, your examples are good...engine failure on go around, flight control failure, instrument failure...but a pilot should be ready for an engine failure at any time, same with the rest...shifting modes in you rmind right away.
yes, its tough to have a control failure at sixty feet and get away with it...but
anyway, maybe it was something else...who knows, maybe a passenger went nuts and used a scalpel to knife the pilots on short final...but Idont' think so.
premiere has lift dump? hmmmm, I flew the handle page with lift dump...very effective...but we did have one guy who had lift dump deploy on final prior to landing.
serling...great books
did you ever read "the crowded sky", not by serling...just the cover review was fascinating.
