F 14 sideslip one engine out during landing is normally recoverable with the right AoA range.

As a proof that the F-14 trainee lady named Kara Hultgreen who crashed after stalling the left wing, could've normally saved the aircraft even after losing the left engine (due to using rudder to correct the glide path instead of stick only) and throttling the remaining engine at it's maximum allowable asymmetric thrust, I've done several simulated trials in which I have achieved about the same beta (and even higher) to that which the lady pilot had commanded during the lineup correction attempt. After losing the left engine (shut it to cut-off during simulation) and maximum throttling the right engine, I have commanded a slightly lower AoA (although her instinct told her to pull more, which was very wrong) in order to have a better rudder authority over the asymmetric thrust and reduce the beta, followed by a correct increase in AoA (not too much) in order to recover the dive. During most of the trials I haven't even got to the point of a wing stall as immediately after seeing that I need more power, I have lowered the AoA combined with the thrust increase on the other engine, but I have also experienced these 2 "on edge" attempts in which I have gone past the limit and stalled the left wing, yet even so, after rapidly reducing the AoA to regain control (fighting the bad instinct of running away from the ground) and reduce the unwanted beta, I was able to re-increase the AoA afterwards and climb out almost at the deck's height. Again, only in these 2 attempts I have gotten over the edge a bit and stalled the left wing, but in most of the attempts, if I have lowered the AoA after the engine ran out (which the lady never did) slightly before applying max thrust on the remaining engine, even if the beta would've remained high for a while, I was still far from stalling the wing, which was the only major problem, otherwise, the remaining engine has more than enough thrust to get the plane to climb out (shallow but steady climb) even with full flaps and gear out!

This trial aircraft is also heavier than for a normal carrier landing. 2 full fuel tanks and 2 winders besides 50% main tank fuel.


In the end, for every pilot out there: Many things are achievable if you train enough to do it right!
