I work for AA, former US and fly the Bus. Pray all you experts how do you dead stick a 150Klb airplane on a 7000 runway absolutely correctly the first time? How do you keep from running off the end? If you fly a jet, have you trained for a dead stick landing? I have done no flap landings, I had to for the type but that is not a no power landing.

I have no idea how to accomplish that on 7000ft of runway and stay on the pavement. That's why it took 17 attempts on average for the simulator pilots.

It's not in the training syllabus and if it happens for real real you have to do it absolutely correct the first time.
