the best option is to just close your eyes pull the power back and hope for the best

When this question comes up on your next interview tell them that you would climb as high as possible until both engines flameout and that way you would have a greater glide distance to another field.

If you can get coffee to come out of the nose of the inteviewer that means you scored extra points.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA

:laugh:

Why not just shut down both engines? That way you would save double the fuel. Or you could always try and shoot the approach at full power. That way you'd probobly blow the fog out and lift the field above minimums and land safely.

And use the "thrust " from the APU .....as a friend of mine said..we haven't left one up there yet...Just land the friggin airplane, pull the thrust back save as much as you can and land.. and as stated you should have never gotten in that situation to begin with and think outside the box a little bit. Don't crash a perfectly good airplane because you did not plan ahead.
