Co-pilot gets sick, stewardess helps land airplane

True, and in most cases, if the aircraft are anywhere near similar, a reading
of the aircraft manual will suffice for that.

Why would reading the manual be sufficient, but simulation not?

And I've actually done that, have you?

Yes, I have.

There you go making stuff up again and misrepresenting what people have said.

What I said was "..if the aircraft are anywhere near similar, a reading of

Where did I say anything about simulators?

But more to the point that you tried to diverge to, if reading the manual
is sufficient, why would you then need a simulator of any kind?


And I've actually done that, have you?

Yes, I have.

Are you deliberately lying or are you in another of your delusional states?

You have said time and again you have never flown any airplane, much less
a different model after a read of the manual for the new airplane.

And before you go off on some other tangent about how safe it is to fly
an aircraft one has never flown before based only on a read of the manual,
in both cases there was an instructor aboard and in both cases all the
instructor did was ask me to demonstrate things.

You wouldn't, but a simulator is more fun.

I simply meant that I've actually read the manufacturer's documentation for
the 747 (well, parts of it).

Nope, and to be of any use the simulator has to fully simulate the cockpit
of the real thing, like the flaps being a lever on the floor, for example.

What you implied was you flew a new model of airplane with reading the
manual as your only instruction so your statement was deliberate deception.
