Or, every bugsmasher pilot's secret fantasy...


Certainly mine...


Do you think Stephen Brown could petition the FAA
Commish to allow him to log the time as SIC?


Or will the FAA take action against him for operating an aircraft for which
he is not properly rated?

I suspect an emergency had been declared.

No. In the case of an emergency, the PIC (the 757's FO, acting as PIC
since the captain had become incapacitated) can deviate from these
rules in handling the emergency.

I believe that an ATP (such as FO, who was acting as PIC in this
instance) can give instruction in air carrier operations - and
therefore, the FO could sign his log book as dual received.

I would damn sure log it, whether the FAA allowed it, or not!

What if the FAA does not allow it? He does not get to count it towards a
rating in jet transport.

Darn! I'll bet that really breaks him up! g I mean, who cares? THe only
thing that would matter for, is if he is really going for that rating!
Think that will ever be likely for the average GA pilot? ;-)

What a thrill, but of course, in a tragic situation. Still a tale to tell.
It isn't as if he caused the death. 'Tis a good thing that he was aboard.

Just resist the temptation to pop your head into the cockpit and say:

"Good Luck, we're all counting on you..."

I'll try my best to resist, should I ever be in that place! g

provide an extra set of hands for the pilot?

It sounds like he just talked on the radio, read checklists, and
handled the few things that the pilot couldn't readily do himself,
such as setting flaps and lowering gear (awkward from the left seat).


MX... Judah was obviously joking here...

Too funny. Someone said just that on the USA Today site on this same
topic... And got chewed out for it too... (some folks just have no
SOH) Anytime you can work in a reference to the movie "Airplane" it
can't be a bad thing...

At this point who really cares about the FAA. The only thing important is if
the flight attendant is hot and wants to fulfill the rest of the fantasy.
