The captain of Qantas Flight 32, Richard de Crespigny, credits his first flying instructor with schooling him in "not panicking when engines are lost and you have to glide your plane". He writes about it in his account of the explosion of QF32's Rolls Royce engine which degraded 21 of the Airbus’s 22 flight systems. With the aircraft in glide-mode he built up enough functions to be able to land the aircraft. With no reverse thrusters, no wing slats and badly degraded brakes, four tyres blew out when they landed. https://www.amazon.com/QF32-Richard-Crespigny-2012-05-04/dp/B01FKRY1KW/ https://www.amazon.com/QF32-Richard-Crespigny-2012-05-04/dp/...
