TE Sim L1/5

Imagine you are descending steadily from 3000feet along the approach path with intention to land.

Suddenly the aircraft you are flying went out of control.

It starts to make a gradual left bank. 10degrees, 20degrees, 30degrees.

No matter how much rudder input you give, the aircraft keeps rolling to the left. Rudder trim is put to fully right.

You notice altimeter reading is dropping like mad. Rate of descent 800feet per minute and still increasing.

Realising that rudders have become useless, you slam the control stick to the right, trying to keep the aircraft in control. Almost 30degrees of bank angle.

Both engines are not giving maximum power.

You reduce power on the right engine to 20percent while keeping the left one at 70percent.

Altimeter reading 2000feet. You look around for places to make a forced landing. But it seems  a populated area is below you. No clearings, no forests, no rivers, no sea. 

Only the runway ahead is available.

There is no other choice left. It's either you make it to the runway, or you die, together with people who are unlucky enough to be in your way.

Left engine power cut further and you bank more to the right. Aircraft descends further.

1000feet. Landing gears down. Flaps to Approach position. Then to Landing position. Runway is just ahead. 

500feet

300feet

200feet

And you try to flare using wings level. But the moment you release the pressure on control stick, aircraft starts moving to the left.

Using your 1,000,000,000 hours of experience, you decide to use your modified Wing Low method (without the aircraft nose aligns with runway centreline).

Land on the right main wheel, you release the control pressure slowly together with left engine power.

The moment aircraft nose aligns with runway centreline you let the left main wheel touchdown.

And finally the nose wheel.

You think you made a perfect landing already. However right after touchdown, aircraft turns left and heads towards a building. 

You tried to stop the damned aircraft but to no avail. There is only word in your mind now.

"Wtf!"

You crash into the building.

The end.

That is what happened to me yesterday in simulator.

Ok, the last 4 lines are exaggerating.  I made it up. For fun. -_-"

Right after landing I engaged on the parking brake and the screen paused.

The simulator got some problems, you see. Rudders especially were unserviceable.

So while waiting for technician to come and repair it, my instructor and I took turns to fly it. ;p

Quite fun seriously. It's not like you can get this kinda situation often in the actual flying!
