He said it could land safely on 2 - not maintain altitude. A modulated descent to ensure the point at which you reach the ground is a runway is not he same as flying straight and level..
Well what is the point of saying that then? , any aircraft can glide and land without any power. But to make a normal IFR approach you would need to be able to maintain altitude at some point(s) . That is what I understand by " landing safely " but probably just PR words.
