Obviously, the pilots would have received instruction on engine-out
operations, and the Transat pilots knew the high speed range for landing
gear, knew the low speed limiot for the RAT, knoew what systems worked
what didn't, knew that brakes would have a limited number of
applications, which is why after the second landing, he applied the
brakes big time because he freared that he would no longer had a 3rd
change (and the investigators found the pilot acted properly, even if it
meant that the tires/wheels/runway would be damaged).

What do you mean by 'after the second landing'? My information is that
only one landing took place and the nose wheel collapsed during braking.
The green light had not come on for the nose leg after using the
emergency system to drop the wheels.
