He doesn't have to be in the seat next to them.

The fact that it hasn't happened in all these years of aviation makes
it more than just a little unlikely. It's definitely so unlikely it's
silly.

The issue is not whether or not the scenario is silly, but what would
actually happen. In risk management, this type of thought experiment
is common and useful.

Not certified for IIIc means a good chance of hitting the ground so
hard you create a crater or stalling the plane at high speed a few
feet above the ground.

Hardly. It's still a much better bet than having a non-pilot try to
land by hand.

...and runways world wide are STILL being extended to cope with the
A380.

Those extensions may be premature.

There are still notorious approaches around the place.

You don't direct an aircraft with an emergency to a notorious
approach.


How th efjuk woudl you know, ****?


In this emergency, there's only one pilot.
