Sioux City flight required very strong assistance to MAN the controls when the hydraulics failed.

I may well be mis-remembering, but I don't believe they were able to use the controls at all after losing hydraulics - think they were only able to manage by throttle adjustments on the two remaining wing engines.

Yes, which was something the Check pilot had actually tried in the sim a couple of times, and failed.

This is probably the best retelling of the event. See what you think.
