Sad day for Mxsmanic

All of this has to happen before the poor *******s up in the air run out of fuel and die. Incapacitation of the pilots does not drain fuel from the tanks. Can even this much be done, much less the actual talking-through-the-landing part? I'm doubtful myself. If anyone with airline logistics experience would like to weigh in, I'd love to hear about the practicality of simply finding the people and equipment from someone who knows. It seems to be pretty easy to find S&R, fire equipment, and military interception on short notice; why would it be hard to find an instructor? |

The funny thing with flight simulators is that they work so hard to make them realistic in look, visuals etc. In truth that is about the least important aspect of a real simulator. For airliner simulators, it is extremely important, since hand-flying the aircraft is often quite low in priority, whereas accurate execution of procedures is near the top. |

ManhattanMan writes: Has nobody thought of who is going to tune the funking radio to someone to give the newbie driver instructions? Typically the radio is already tuned to an appropriate ATC frequency. However said frequency is hardly appropriate for spontaneous flight instruction and the people in the ATC facility are generally nowhere near where any pilots are. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

I don't find that whether the trees look like lumps of green or have leaves on them makes one bit of difference to a real simulator. |

writes: There's also the psychological issue that most people think without constant "tending" of the airplane by both the pilots and air traffic control, an airplane will fall out of the sky. Not everyone believes that. Wrong yet again; most people do in fact believe that. Your average person would likely be paralyzed by fear if told they had to land the airplane. I seriously doubt that. Most people aren't quite that irrational, especially under pressure. Having seen the reactions people who have actually been trained to respond in pressure situations, I can assure you that it is true. Then there is the practical issue of finding someone who can tell a totally ignorant person how to find the necessary buttons to push and what to enter entirely from memory for a given random aircraft type. There is a reason for type training by airlines. You can put the instructor in a sim, and it's not hard to locate the buttons. How many realistic sims down to the switch position level for any given random aircraft do you thing exist in the world given they cost millions of dollars? -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

Go out and stop an aircraft and then come back and tell us all how easy it was. Done. Just apply the brakes. Good job dumb ass, you have just proven yourself incorrect. |

Lightning cannot strike my house, because it never has. Bull****, you have never proven anything but your ability to wonder around for years in a clueless daze. |
