Pretty Amazing
 

That's an amazing story. I'd love to hear those guys give a presentation sometime on the whole experience.

Here's an article I found after I got interested in Throttles Only Control:

And here's some more material on the incident:

I know there's a powerpoint out there somewhere with some more pictures, I just can't find it at the moment.

That's just plain impressive. Kudo's to those guys for a job well done. That's definately something you don't get in the Sim!

Capt. Haynes (ret United) and his crew definately deserve a lot of credit for this incident and many others since with the concept of TOC. I actually have had the chance to shoot a mock approach in a king air (at alt of course), using only throttles and elev trim. It was not that hard after a few minutes to fly level, make turns, and then hold a 3 degree or so glide slope. I hope to never have to use that kind of technique, but its somewhat comforting knowing its possible if need be.
