re: Could you land a commercial airplane in an emergency?

I’ve flown small planes before and know enough of the basics to HOPE I could get it on the ground safely.
But it would be more of an arrival than a landing.

I believe I could. I’m not saying it would be smooth but most on board would walk away with their lives.

Not a chance I could land the plane but I could communicate well by radio after all the videos I watched. They would know precisely where we were and what was happening as we all died.

IIRC the original tik tok question wasn’t “could you do it” but more along the lines of “would you try”
I’d much rather be trying to land the plane than being in the back knowing that someone like me was trying to land the plane.

Ha! I still remember when my boyfriend reached over and snatched the headphones and mic off my head because I was screaming the Hail Mary

And that’s why I take enough Xanax to dose an elephant when I fly.

Meh
Turn on the autopilot
Re-Configure the FMS
File direct KLAS with ATC
Hookers and blow on landing boys

I was thinking Define "safely".
I would be looking for acceptable % dead and maximum dollar property loss.

Finding the button to transmit on the radio would be a win for most people.

Not without an otherworldly amount of luck.
Posted on 8/3/23 at 12:51 pm to Delacroix22
I’m pretty confident I could at least get us to the crash site.
Posted on 8/3/23 at 12:52 pm to Delacroix22
If I had radio contact with the tower, yes. I can follow directions, pressure doesn’t bother me, and I would be motivated by death.

My buddy is a commercial pilot for a major airline. I have known him since 1st grade. Knowing him personally, I will not fly a plane he is piloting. Haha.
Nothing but respect for the baw pilots. Amazed that he wakes up at home, reports to his office that is a 4 hour flight away (the hub for his airline), and will be on the other side of the country all in one day.

I’d post on the OT asking for help, obviously.

Problem they found out with red button is that when women see the red button they panic and try to take control over the computer which inevitably causes a crash. See the challenger explosion as a good example. Dick Scobee hit the red button and Christie McAuliffe panicked and the plane shuttle exploded.
You just post conspiracies I assume?
