There’s nothing in my original comment that is not accurate. Thanks anyway.

I dunno, I thought this statement was pretty misleading.

" I read once that they put other pilots in simulators in her situation and most also crashed. "

I think letting people know that the testers deliberately sabotaged the test is pretty important in giving a fuller picture of what happened. The way you said it it implied that "everybody screws up when this thing happens."

And that's not accurate. Most do not get into such a situation. The engine did not "fail", it was operated under conditions it wasn't designed for. Switching off the engine during the last few seconds of an approach is not the same thing as causing your engine to stall on approach.

The Navy tried to cover up what happened by this fake test with it's rigged results.
