Logic, survival instinct and the book tells you to land, all nicely aligned. The little catch is the displayed ECAM asking you to shutdown the only remaining engine. To me this looks like a nice* scenario to verify the applicant can maintain basic airmanship in the face of red writings on the ECAM, seeing through it and not think like a monkey
