tobbe490 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 I've been watching a lot of movies on Youtube with the theme: Can an amateur land an airliner, or similar (highly unlikely).In the movies, it is predicted that the amateur can get detailed instructions how to do. The first problem I can think of that arises: how to get in touch with someone via the radio? How does he get the frequencies and how does he handles the radio? Then comes many other problems, for instance: the one he comes in contact with must be well wellinformed on just the type of the airplane the amateur sits in.Some comments? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Knudsen Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 An amateur can always land a plane, the question is wither he or she walks away from the landing in one piece..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goran_M Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) Landing in a simulator is one thing. There's a false sense of security centered a crash where no one gets hurt. Landing in a real life situation, that security disappears, and you know you only have 1 go at making it down in 1 piece. I took off and landed countless times in FS5 and FS98 in just about all the default aircraft. Full of confidence. My first landing in a Beech Skipper in August of 1997, I nearly killed myself and the instructor. I bounced the aircraft on landing. Coming in on base and final, I was gripping that wheel so tight, the instructor had to tell me to loosen my grip at least half a dozen times.It's definitely a very different scenario.
