What is the difference between landings at sea level in the Indian Ocean and landings anywhere else? Landing with both engines flamed out may make difference. Did he practice those?
What would truly amaze me is if a qualified pilot tooling around on a simulator in his spare time
didn't try unusual things that he'd never dare try for real, rather than just reproducing what he did in the day job.
