"The re-entry is all dead stick flying. I am not even sure the ohms engines are running."
the only 'stick' above the atmpsphere is the ohms/rcs engines, and they don't 'run'. they are used for manuvering, and burn only as needed. They always have fuel left on landing.

I think they dump any remaining fuel before finally touching down though.
