The answer is, we don't. I've never once done a complete power loss in an airliner nor have I ever practiced a ditching. It is one of those things that is so rare that your time is better spent working on things that are more likely to happen.

Whats to practice with loss of all engines, If you dont know to point the nose down and look for the best place to land then you shouldnt be in the pointy end.
Here, Ill right the "Loss of Thrust All Engines-Training Manual"

1 MANAGE AIRSPEED
2 KEEP GREASY SIDE DOWN
3 DONT HIT STUFF!!!

lets add
4. if landing in a field watch out for the friggin cows...lol

Hit the softest, cheapest thing in the area
as slow as possible.....

...and at night during a forced landing, turn on the landing light. If you don't like what you see, turn it back off!

I can't take credit for that quote, but it's good stuff...

He was just remarking as to the good visibility surrounding his eventual landing site. Very apropos thing to discuss in a sterile cockpit.:D

So, am I to understand that you're as happy and comfortable with the CVR transcript and airmanship of the Colgan crew as you are with that of Sully's flight?! Night and day.

No I'm not saying that...but the media hype and craziness/outrage that they broke sterile cockpit...and that's why they crashed (I guess the stall had nothing to do with it) is redicilous. Sterile is broken thousands of times every day...not saying it should be...but it is. A little comment about something on the way in, a question about whether the other guy is gonna grab something to eat during the sit, or just the end of a conversation started at 12000ft...it happens on almost every flight I've been on either as a jumpseater (this includes mainline flights, as well as flights I've sat right seat on. The fact that I say, "man...its June...there's still snow on those mountains" and the Capt says " yup" at 9,000 does not spell the end of us. I basicly can sum up everything by saying

1. Aviation "Experts" should try getting in an airplane sometime
2. Media should report on something they know about (and aviation obviously isn't it)
3. Trying to increase ratings with the bull**** out there like asking folks who really don't have a clue whether they think regional airlines are safe...and then keep on digging until they get the answer they want (no) so they can have a great soundclip is biased journalism
4. Well...just screw the media

Always land with/parallel the furrows not against.
