The guys talking about STN are talking tosh, it would have involved a downwind landing on R/w 05, wet, with a crippled a/c, I believe they had a brake fire so clearly some some of the systems were also u/s (brakes?), maybe slow flap extention.
- marks out of 10?
About negative 2, I would think. For a start the no1 engine made a pretty good job of deploying its TR on landing considering it "was destroyed"..
