RB>Lot's of unscheduled landings here at Denver over the 
RB>years,  not only American.
I even made one at Rapid City, SD. once.
RB>I'll insert my two cents worth here on three engine ferry.  
RB>The simulator is a good place for PROCEDURE, but for the 
RB>crews that are going to make the flight, It is my 
RB>recomendation to at least use the aircraft for an 
RB>acceleration test up to at least VMC by feeding in 
RB>symetrical power on the good engines.
I certainly agree with you and also feel that it should be done 
certainly as a last resort with full totally trained crews as you 
suggested above.
RB>There is NO known data to program into a simulator on three engine
RB>ferry.  It  is all done by guess.  Data would have to be for each 
RB>portion of the acceleration with power and density 
RB>altitude.
I basically agree.  
RB>Simulators are just BOOT STRAPPED to try and simulate the real thing
RB>on this. 
I agree again.  If you have ever been in on certification of Simulators 
and I am sure that you have, then you will understand when the 
programers are there wanting to know did it preform like the aircraft 
would.  They are only technitions and are working with codes and 
numbers.
