Dusty Balz, SASS#46599 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I don't know I how it would work with a 777 and it's easy to Monday-morning quarterback , but there's and old bush pilot trick I've used with smaller planes If no power re start was evident , I would hVe retracted the flaps ( the captain did just that) pushes the nose down to increase air speed ( the captain did that ) with the aircraft configured for less drag and more air speed I would have flown it down as close to landing as possible , then hammered full flaps adding lift . The aircraft would have " ballooned" up trading speed for lift , this may have brought it over the fence , maybe Well done to the crew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badlands Bob #61228 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I wonder what the problem was. Did somebody put 10 hrs. and 59 minutes of fuel in an 11 hour flight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Upon investigation, the accident was blamed on ice crystals from the fuel system clogging the fuel-oil heat exchanger. Redesigned fuel oil heat exchangers were installed in British Airways' 777s by October 2009." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
