it was kinda fake because the engines were dead but you heared the engine sound

Luckily,the nose gear did not locked,because if it did,the plane would have ran into the kids infront of it!Later on,the plane flew again,nicknamed The gimli glider!There is an Air Crash Investigation episode "Gimli Glider" about the accident

mmm wrong runway buddy. in MSFS they only have the one runway that is still active, and the other parallel runway is rendered as a wide road. but in reality, they are both very similar in length, width, and texture. the only difference is that the parallel is the drag strip. you shouldve landed on that dritish looking road parallel to the real runway

there is an updated Gimli Gilider on Flightsim.con great remake

[WHITECHILD2]

bad remake! it probably didn't went like that! you should take that again? do you have any flight detailes!? then it would be much eacier, just feed those flight detailes from that plane crash to the flight simulator!? but is that possible to do that on your own flight simulator and even get those details!? older planes were probably easier handle without any engine trust, but today when there is less wing area!? would that be possible to do that again with new planes! probably harder, ,maybe!?

while the both children were playing around the old runway, those children saw the plane too late. If the 767 hav a horn they could get away earlier or die!

A couple of thoughts

#1- Bob Hoover used to shut the engines of his Shrike down and do a lot of energy conservation maneuvers...when he flew past with the engines shut down the plane was as noisy as when the engines were a Cruise power.

I was surprised...the airframe makes an amazing amount of noise.

#2- American Airlines allowed the Gimli scenario to be set up on their state of the art simulators and nobody could duplicate the successful landing.

I understand that at least 40 pilots tried.
