The point was that all VAT references in my posts do of course concern configuration-specific VAT....

Did you ever practise total hyd fail approaches? I.e. no flaps, no slats, fixed TPI, free-fall U/C.... Around normal VAT+40 at touchdown, with probably only reverse thrust to slow the beast on landing.

I only tried it in the simulator; it wasn't even a training requirement for our crews to try it, but it was quite an interesting challenge....
