To msjr777; level flight requires a definitive level of energy, below which the aircraft will descend - simple physics.
Approach is conducted with slats/flaps at the optimum settings to mantain the required glideslope, and any deviation is controlled by engine power alone; that is the only direct control avaliable to the pilot on final approach.
Once the engine control had been lost at only two miles out, whatever the cause of it, the outcome was predictable and unavoidable.
-
Still no deaths.
-
Low/no engine power, no flaps and nose up on final approach = stall and severe crash. Its far, far better to make a reasonable landing short of the runway than to risk a stall.
-
you control level forceing air under the wings which cause lift to make up range if they had no fuel.
-
Less Flaps Nose Up with no power = Stall......Go Back to School..........

What a shame. The boeing 777 has one or the best safety record in aviation history.

If the plane came short by 1,000.Why didn't he remove flaps,lift nose to bring air lift to the wings which would lift the plane over the 1,000 ft zone which would allow the plane to reach the landing zone at the airport.

I completley agree,.. You have to be a serious boffin to stay focused on this
