Dagenham: So in the aftermath two crticisms have been put to bed

1. The mv22 can be successfully ditched in aeroplane mode

2. Such a landing is survivable

Remarkable skills in recovery surely merit some positive comments on airmanship?

Indeed. Much has been written about the lack of autorotation and fears about a conventional forced landing- good to perhaps see some of that has been answered.
