[Swiftwater Gazette] Flight 1549 Alternate Audio, Multi-Perspective Composite Animation

[Brad Haslett]

Bill,

Watch the altimeter and airspeed starting at about 3:00 into the tape.
 Sully's at 200', 170 knots with a clean wing.  He calls for flaps and
starts bleeding off airspeed when he gets a full wing (flaps out),
holding altitude at 200'.  At roughly 3:45 he's bled off all the
energy he can spare and at 150 knots starts trading off altitude to
maintain airspeed, maintaining that approach speed to splashdown.

Beautiful piece of "stick-n-rudder"! His book is a good read - very modest guy.
