Fairly balanced article even if a bit innacurate . The RAT woudl have
giv
en
them enough even inf the APU had been U/S. With the APU running they
had nearly everything available to them Full electrics, except for
maybe th egallys, and almost all hydraulics, if a bit slow. Flight
controls would have been fine though.

I can almost see the 'bonus' round in the simulator now.

Same conditions only *bingo* a ferry adrift right where you want to
be. And perhaps a newsie copter tagging along covering the story.

If you get that one right, let's pop in some low ceilings and if
you're still alive you'll progress to the fog.

Bwahahahah!! "Test to destruction".

Well, i knew a guy who did stuff like that, but only if you were doing
ok with teh previous bit. He was qite good about it, really. It was
never meant to humiliate or as a ****ing contest, but only to show your
limitatons whilst simultaneously showing your strengths.
I always enjoyed a sim with him.
