He’ll be like “I’ve done this before !!” And run to the cockpit lmao

As an air traffic controller, what I would like to mention is that hardly any air traffic controller in this world would be able to give such detailed advice on what is to be done in the cockpit. The only way a scenario like this could work out would be that ATC somehow finds and calls a pilot to come and help to set the aircraft up via radio telephony. Also, different aircraft from different manufacturers differ in such a way that when you get the wrong pilot, he/she wouldn’t be able to help much because the names and locations of all the switches, displays and indicators vary widely, even though the working principles are similar.

Flight simers would appreciate this opportunity sooooo much more! What a dream it would be.

I would love to do this (in the simulator obviously) I'm a keen flight sim enthusiast. I love flying the study level Fenix A320. I have spent tonnes of hours learning how to set up the aircraft from cold and dark and can (fairly) confidently fly entire flights. Fun fact: when you pull out those knobs, it's changing that setting from 'managed mode' to 'selected mode'. The latter is you telling the aircraft's FMGC (flight management guidance computer) to override the pre programmed information and tell what the autopilot to do manually.

What an awesome video!! Loved every minute of it

Our PMDG 737 flight simulators give you a realistic ability to do this for sure.

Good instruction is definitely necessary and the technology is so advanced these days. Great job and video! Watch some of the flight simmers on KZread handle some of these sim aircraft. (Myself Included) VERY REALISTIC and close enough to the real thing for you to get at least the general idea of some of the skills and knowledge necessary to be a real pilot. Real Pilots are amazing, hard working, very knowledgeable and trained in so many things us sim guys DON'T ever do and get all of us safely and reliably around the world. Say THANK YOU to the next real pilot you have the opportunity to encounter, and I hope to see you on one of my flight sims!

That was a cool video. Would love to try it.

Granted i have more than average hours playing flight simulator, but I landed a B1 bomber in the training simulator at an air force base (my friend's dad was in charge of the simulator towards the end of his long AF career). He set me up for a straight in approach after flying around for a bit to get a feel for everything, but i nailed it. Afterwards, I saw my approach path vs the ideal path on his computer screen and i was stayed on it the entire time and rolled out smoothly. I only brag because i know full well that i had no chance of landing without lots of help and setup with perfect conditions.

Oh wow... Very original idea.

Even knowing youre in a simulator that would be so intense. Its actually pretty cool these planes do so much stuff themselves and by just setting altitude and coords rather than going gung ho on the yoke.

There are backup emergency comms.

This was great, but in 99.9% of cases the plane will crash unless SOMEONE knows how to initially contact ATC in the first place. I wouldn't have a clue tbh, and I've spent years playing sims, just on a surface level. I'm 70% sure I could land the plane, 60% sure I would destroy the undercarriage, 40% sure I'd kill someone and 100% sure I'd f**k it up regardless.

I was lucky enough to use an F15 simulator when I was stationed at SJAFB in North Carolina. The person running the simulator had me attempt landing several times and I crashed every single time. It's a lot harder than it sounds.

Cool they done well.

As someone who has a bit of experience with flight sims and a pretty good knowledge of navigation and controls. I think I would be able to land a plane if I had to. It probably wouldn’t be a pretty landing but I believe I would be able to do it. Although if I had zero knowledge, I don’t think I’d be able to do it.

The calmest passenger ever!

This has strong Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes vibes. It's a game about diffusing a bomb where one person sees the bomb and one or more players don't, but they have the manual that the diffuser doesn't have.

I knew modern airliners were somewhat automated, but it's pretty shocking just HOW automated they are. And all is well with these automated systems until an errant line of code causes problems.... Great job to the 3 pilots!

This is why I will always volunteer myself, even with my disability and reduced clarity in my speech. It is essential in critical situations that we adhere to 3 way repeat and read back. If you're into football this is why during the infamous Liverpool v Tottenham game at the beginning of the 23/24 season, Simon Hooper the on field referee and VAR Darren England got it so wrong, none of them, partly due to poor PGMOL protocols, confirmed what was actually happening, nether of them stated what was being checked, or repeated/questioned what was being checked, there was a lot of "yes mate's" said while both assumed they were talking about the same thing when in fact it was the complete opposite. It's worth listening to the dialogue even if you're not into football to understand the importance communication and repeating information so all parties know they are on the same page. This is why Henry struggled throughout, yes or affirmative alone has no meaning, nor did it give Cpt Mark any feedback so he could've been in a better position to correct or aid Henry, and for Mark, he should have worded it so retarder was earlier in the landing dialogue, "when you hear retarder, and only when you hear, these are the controls you operate...", I think with Matt and Sunny the instructions must've been clearer, but if Henry had done a read back before his actions, despite the radio interference, the potential problematic error, depending on the airport approach could've been avoided. I do think it really matters who the assistant is though, they need to be calming, personable and have clarity with giving instructions. Anyone who has given family members tech support over the phone knows the struggle, I always ask do you see this, what did you just do, especially when I'm getting no feedback, so I can keep track of the steps taken. Every person training to help land a plane should have to do "family member remote tech assistance", if they can survive that ordeal, they'll be fine helping a rando land a plane haha.

Man in the hat was cool, calm, and collected.

...there's always one... I dont want that guy in the glasses anywhere near me 😂

The guy without hat could not follow instructions in a simulator, imagine with the added panic of a real emergency. However, it would have helped if he was told what the controls he was asked to act on were for and what the outcome of his action was expected to be. For example clearly explain that pulling the thrust levers all the way back reverse the thrust, push the plane backward.

it is briliant...

"Lower the landing gear now!" "You do realise that will mean putting the walkie talkie down..."

They should make a game out of this like "Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes".

Its a miracle that guy with glasses being alive.

As a pilot in USA i was told by the FAA at a meeting right after 9/12 to identify myself as a pilot when checking in for a flight so they can make a note in thr passenger manifest in the event of an emergency. Obviously i would not be type rated in the a/c i am a passenger on, but i would be able to manually fly the aircraft in IFR conditions and understand ATC communications.

This is just IT in a nutshell

Como um piloto de helicóptero e instrutor de voo, posso dizer que a moça foi muito bem. Soube cumprir as instruções de forma muito objetiva. Sobre o cara de óculos, não posso dizer o mesmo hahaha

It wouldn't be a pretty landing, the plane would probably take some damage and their might be a minor injury or two but after spending a few hours on my realistic home flight simulator I could manage a survivable landing. The hardest part is getting lined up with the runway so being able to talk to air traffic control and have tell you what direction to fly and when to start the descent would be important. A common mistake people make is to come in high and fast and try to lose alot of speed/altitude at the last second. This doesn't work to well because when you lose altitude fast you gain speed and if you try to lose speed you don't lose much altitude. You want to set the autopilot for a slow steady decent. You don't need to use all the buttons in the cockpit you can do an ugly landing with just a few of the buttons. Alot people wouldn't know what speed to come in at but the stall speed is usually marked in red so if you go as slow as you can staying above the red line you are probaly fine. A few years ago a maintence worker stole a plane from Seatac and didn't bother trying to land they just crashed. I didn't quite understand that, if they knew how to start the plane they could have probably managed an ugly landing although I suppose maybe they didn't want to spend life in prison. I hope if a plane ever found itself without a pilot one of the passengers would try to land it because they might succeed especially with air traffic controls help.

Great all and all, I don't want to be a smart ass but I would put the helmet on man. TBA is so easy to rewoke again. Best of luck to you man

I guess the real question is how fast ATC can connect the passenger with a pilot with expertise in the exact model of plane they're flying. Cause while the guy in the video is good, you're not always going to have someone that well-prepped for the situation immediately on hand.

How wholesome

One thing I'm interested in is whether someone could figure out how to establish radio communication without prior knowledge of how to do it.

It's the little room with pilots in it, but that's not important now

I would love to do this
