    @Snowy did you try the “Sully” incident?

    If so, did you get to teteborough and realize he cost them millions?

    Yep, tried it. Wouldn't have made Teteborough although it isn't far away. Didn't hear of anyone who succeeded in the sim. The NTSB also said "The Board rejected the notion that the pilot could have avoided ditching by returning to LaGuardia or diverting to nearby Teterboro Airport." So he saved them millions and all of the lives.

    One of the things that got mentioned in the movie was that he should have turned back - first thing you are taught for engine failure (single engine) after take of is "don't turn back" the physics of making a turn (and using your lift to do so) mean that is nigh on impossible. The same applies to multi engine failure.

    One of the few things that he got wrong was to not push the ditching push button which closes up the pack outflow valves, etc. Basically means that there are no holes open in the bottom of the aeroplane and it will float for longer. Not a huge error under the circumstances.

    @mikedogz Ha! That's more like it. I've now wasted a part of my life that I didn't know I needed. Thanks Mike.

    @No-Quarter something looks wrong with that photo. The scale pattern on the body trailing to the background isn't the python, and it seems too long to be the cobra?
