Good job Joey!
I imagine staying calm and executing just as you did in training is what a pilot needs to do when in a bind like you experienced.
Do they give good maintenance to those planes? I've read they don't, costs too much and gotta keep those planes in air as long as possible.
godspeed and safe flying man !

The Engines are Rollys-Royce, so they usually hold up quite well
