I thought the crew did an outstanding job. Some small details that showed some excellent skills:
1. When it became obvious that they had both engines indicating 'stall', the commander traded excess airspeed for altitude. A small detail, but an action that shows excellent situational awareness.
2. Turned off the flight director and hand flew the aircraft when appropriate.
3. Managed excess energy using 'S turns' on final.
4. Whilst hand flying under unusual circumstances, realized that he'd called for the incorrect bearing intercept for the ILS and corrected it.
A 35 year old Commander and a 37 year old F.O. that showed they weren't children of the magenta line. Nicely played.
