I thought they were going to hit a lot harder. Not a great auto, but I guess they would have walked away.. Not the greatest measure I know...

Learn from others...in the real world that would have = ENDO! Big Time. But happy they came out OK! I honestly can't remember the last time I did a power-recovery, but this is a serious wake-up call to those who think they know what they are doing...runway or not! It's never "just recurrent"!

No shortage of 600N bad emergency training videos
