George is right and YOU are WRONG. WRONG AND SO WRONG.

How many hours do you have flying 747s again?

Tell this to Sully AND CREW who's glider rating got him to FLY and
LAND a large commercial airliner into the Hudson......

Sullenberger and Skiles ditched the aircraft smoothly because they were
experienced professionals who followed the procedures and kept cool during the
emergency (I bet Sully never types in uppercase). Sullenberger's glider rating
had little to do with it, any more than his experience flying F-4s. He
succeeded mainly due to a very high level of overall competence,
professionalism, and calm under fire. There was no magic single skill that
saved him and the rest of the flight. And he was also lucky.

If my memory serves me correct the skies had a very loaded down glider
in the flavor of a 747 going through volcanic ash before they got
their engines restarted. Tell me, what kept that plane flying besides
the basic rules of flight?????

You're confusing the laws of physics with the rules and procedures of flying.

LET ME GUESS, YOU WON'T answer.

Don't guess. Ask.
