I could definitely fly a plane, but landing would be another story.

Taking off is easy in a plane with no crossword. Even with crosswind it's not too bad. The hardest part would be figuring out how to start it and to use your feet to steer.
Flying around nice and easy is super simple.
Landing is the difficult part, but if you were able to talk to someone who gave you instructions and they brought you in on a long final to a airport with no crosswind anyone could do it.

Stick. Speaking of stick,I think no way if we are talking tail dragger, though supposedly a cub is the easiest plane to fly.
So odd how you don't see anything when you are taxiing but the sides.
I was thinking as well, I think a piper cherokee almost anyone can fly. Low wing goes into ground effect easily.

A random person would kill the battery trying to get it started. Good luck with pulling circuit breakers and figuring out insturments. Let alone knowing proper start up for TMS. Lol

My eight year old step daughter almost nailed her first landing. She was right seat and the instructor was on the controls.
She steered it in, set flaps and pulled the yoke really well. We had the big runway at KNEW. She's way too young to officially start but see loved it.
Got her to confirm some radio calls too.
Not saying she could have done it alone, but she got the concept of push this in, move this switch here, set this gauge here and listened to commands.
No rudder though

Not all cockpits look like that anymore
I have a commercial pilots license, and have taken a few helicopter lessons. I tried hovering..and failed. Helicopters are a whole different animal.

I could fly a plane. A helicopter no. Different animal.

They majority of those are redundant but still complex as hell.

Talked with my nephew about this very thing this past weekend. He does some flying. He said you have to have some simulator time beforehand just to keep one up.

Flying is the easy part, taking off and landing is tricky.

Eh, I think pretty much anyone could get a Cessna 172 in the air. I think most would be surprised how much force is required to keep it straight and level though if they didn't figure out how to use trim. Landing would be..challenging

I am not wanting the learn to how take-off or land of the plane, only to fly the fast way.

You could prolly take off. Not land.

On the 2 or 3 occasions I've flown as the only passenger in a helicopter, I realized just how utterly dependent my life was on the success of the pilot.
I'd have a slightly better chance of survival, but still near zero, jumping out just before the crash than trying to land it.
