Specialist Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Not a chance, Flash. Not a chance. Human pilots are STILL better at figuring out incredibly creative ways to get crippled airplanes back on the ground, frequently with everyone still alive and healthy. The DC-10 that basically lost its tail feathers when the tail-mounted engine blew is an example. Quite a few people died in that one, but a lot more lived. That one was darned near a flat-out miracle. Sully's dead-stick water landing comes to mind. Ditto the Gimli Glider. There was a similar case, of a crew who dead-sticked a 737 safely down onto a levee a few years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Engine out, landing gear down ....short file what does the term short file mean in this context ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specialist Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Short final. Means final approach to landing was short (and probably steep). Another way to say it is that he's CLOSE and will be landing very soon. That pilot did a beautiful job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
