747-400 Engine out

No data.

In the -200 sim I did lightweight single engine approaches & go-arounds...It worked.

If you're in a descent, just firewall the left over motor and see what rate you get at speeds from 290-320.

Next cycle at the schoolhouse, if I can find sim time, I'll try it.

The article states that they can fly up to 15,000'. Although impressive, it's still 10k short of 25,000' and it's not a Canada goose as presented to us by the OP. There is a goose that regularly migrates over the Himalayas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar-headed_Goose) but that wouldn't be found on the CAMRN 4 arrival into JFK. I seem to remember that Canada geese have been reported up to 10,000'.

Not a goose, but this bird has been ingested at 36k

Mandatory checklist items, hope to god that going through an engine restart procedure would by me more time. Maybe a full dump, along with declaring an emergency

If it's down between dumping fuel into the wetlands and dumping the airframe, and then lighting said fuel on fire, I have to assume that dumping the fuel might be the superior option.

Absolutely. I don't fly the Whale, but basic decision making says that if you're down to a single engine and can't maintain altitude, you dump wherever you need to.

In the light twin, well, dumping is something you do if you have the benefit of time.

How or why do you know this? Waittttt......I know why
 
To the OP:

I'm not sure what answer you want to hear.

There have been at least 3 744 pilots on this thread. If you beat the Lotto odds, and lose 3 of 4 engines descending to land, the jet will be near landing weight. It'll most probably fly on one. You'll have full power on the last running engine.

If it won't fly, dump gas. It'll vaporize.

You'll make JFK or WRI. No ditching, no ACY.
 
I think the OP had a little sully moment in MS FlightSim and he wants someone to confirm that what he did was realistic and correct.
