Fairly balanced article even if a bit innacurate . The RAT woudl have given
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".
