Boeing 737 Cargo Plane Ditches off Honolulu

[QUOTE="russ_watters, post: 6518040, member: 142"] The only upside I can think of to their choice is if they were clawing for altitude then keeping the wings level helps. But that's a lose-lose proposition unless you can dump fuel to lighten the plane. Running checklists itself does not require flying away from the airport. I did watch one of those VASA videos where a pilot orbited in an area abeam the runway, designated for fuel dumping. I doubt they could have used autopilot on a compromised plane, but if so, autopilot can turn a plane. [/QUOTE]
