Actually what can the pilot do if system is totally down? I was told with the drone technology already proven, future will be all by remote. 

Usually it's one or two emergencies is enough to cause serious problem.

But if total power failure then suck thumb already. 

Because all are fly by wire now. 

Meaning of no power, then actuators will not work, radar will not work, Comms and PA system will not work, screen / sat nav will not work, flight controls will not works because all flight surface requires motors like power steering in cars. 

If one engine flame out or on fire.

Still safer than total power failure and can land at nearest alternate airfield.

Airplane has a tiny rotary turbine to generate electricity just in case both engine flame out.

Total electrical or power failure meant the back up generator also failed.

So meant totally no wattage.😱😱😱

It will not happens as there is a backup turbine to generate electricity

APU is use on ground? For starting Aircraft engine?

When the plane loses all its engines there is no power

for all the electrical items.

So a little propeller pops out of the belly

and the wind will turn it making electricity like a bicycle dynamo.

Must use the master hand.

The plane glide path will be very smooth right?

Sometimes with a bit more force, the plane can roll over the top.

So you got some nice tricks up in your sleeves!?😁😁😁

[Jamesc]

But I don't wear any sleeves.

I don't wear any clothes at all when I am working.

You heard of the naked chef?

I am the naked masseuse.

And no tricks at all.

What they see is what they get.

I have a policy of total transparency.
