Also worked out but wasn't pretty either.

I guess you can always fix that by not going around...like the alibi the AT crew in Mexico city used . But then I won't try to blow a whole bunch of safety privileged information like some people will.
Whack, you need to check yourself.

Whack,
You have gone completely off the reservation.

Of course they didn't deploy because of blow back so he used full rudder, full opposite aileron, and full speed brake to slip the jet.
As we sank like a rock I contemplated how I was going to prevent the impending crash. As we got back on glide slope, he straighten out and we crossed the threshold on GS at about +5. It worked! But it was sooo ugly. The jet bucked, shook and rattled. It was falling rather than flying. They were quite proud of themselves afterwards.
I won't even get into the part where they didn't use the auto throttles (not allowed) and how we got the buffet alert and over speed clacker several times over the Sierras. All the while they were having a farting contest. It was quite a flight.
