What powers hydraulics and electrics with dual engine flameout?

Is dual engine flameout modeled?

I've been studying F14 and if I understand correctly the electrical generators are backed up by a hydraulically powered electrical generator and the engine driven hydraulic pumps are backed up by an electric hydraulic pump.

So, in the event of a dual engine flameout due to say damage or fuel starvation, it should result in losing both generators and hydraulic pumps, leading to total loss of control and complete electrical failure since the both primary and backup systems are inop?

However in game you remain in control and under electric power, what am I getting wrong?

How fast are you going? If you have sufficient speed to windmill the engines above 48% RPM the generators should stay online.

Below that, it's probably a bug unless I've missed some strange edge case.
