Operations-wise it's a tough call to decide between high speed and bad glide ratio to restart the engines or best glide speed but no chance of restart. A little less tough, whether to try starting the APU to have more equipment and usually more flight controls working.

And people say no need to practice dead stick landings in the simulator because it will never happen.. |
Cactus 1539 was 10 years ago today - Had Capt Sully not immediately switched on the APU as both his engines rolled back (this was not a SOP) then he would not have been so successful in landing the aircraft as he did.
The QRH showed reference to close the ditching valve (which was not accomplished) but he and his FO only had about 200 seconds to deal with the whole scenario. |

I recall Hapag Lloyd bit the dust during a wheels down ferry and ran out of fuel.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hapag-Lloyd_Flight_3378 Took off from Chania for Hannover and a malfunction prevented its gear retraction after take-off. FD crew elected to go gear down all the way home but the plane eventually ran out of fuel while attempting a diversion to Vienna, crash-landing just short of the runway. No fatalities resulted, although the aircraft was WO |
Their FMS showed the expected standard range with gear up without considering the actual gear down drag. They trusted that prognosis and crossed the Alps until they had some glider. Still managed some okay landing.

Incident: ANA B788 at Osaka on Jan 17th 2019, both engines rolled back after landing
Now that's a sight you don't see very often..Think of the ramifications if it happened while airborne. |
