Co-pilot gets sick, stewardess helps land airplane

Almost, but not quite. Aircraft land in IMC all the time, and I've done it
many times.

Rotor ???????

Thunderstorm? Hurricane? Tornado? Nuclear explosion?

I don't recall losing 15,000 feet in a rotor on a commercial flight, but I
suppose anything is possible. A handful of exceptions does not disprove the
rule.

which version of microsoft flight simulator do you use?

Better start reading that AD.
a. Not all Cessna 150's are affected by this AD, just the ones with a
swept tail.

That is, seven out of every ten 150s built, essentially everything after 1966
or so. That's a fascinating detail.

b. It has nothing to do with the rudder interfering with the elevator
but the head of rudder stop bolts got hooked.

"... such as contact between the rudder and the elevator."

Will all of these details fit on the head of a pin?

Yet you seem to use exceptions quite frequently to "prove" you are correct.

Case in point: that some model C150s are prohibited from spinning to prove
pilots are doing reckless spinning.

No, you have not.

The only thing you have "landed" is MSFS.

If I make enough mistakes, yes.

THEN YOU DON'T FLY A REAL PLANE IF YOU THINK PHOTOGRAPHY ANSD S&R IS
THE ONLY TIME YOU DO SLOW FLIGHT..

I didn't say anything about it being the only time.

YOU LAND A PLANE UNDER VFR, NOT IFR.

Airplanes are landed under IFR every minute of every day. I've done autolands,
too, which have had no visual component at all.

No you have not.

The only thing you have "landed" is MSFS.

Then YOU DID NOT SIMULATE LANDING THE PLANE. Did you????????????

DUH, AUTO LAND........ HELLO, anybody out there.

PILOTS LAND THE PLANE in VMC.in the real world.

As Jim already pointed out, YOU DON'T land anything. YOU SIMULATE
LANDING on MSFS.

WHAT PART OF THAT DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND ABOUT SIMULATION?????

I've simulated all sorts of landings: hand-flown, autopilot (including
autoland), VMC, IMC, zero visibility, crosswinds, etc. The greater the variety
of situations you simulate, the more you learn.

A simulator allows you to gain experience with situations that you may never
encounter in real life. While simulation isn't perfect, the knowledge you gain
from the simulation of a specific situation is more useful than no knowledge
at all ... especially if that particular situation actually arises (I think Al
Haynes would agree with that).

DUH, AUTO LAND........ HELLO, anybody out there.

PILOTS LAND THE PLANE in VMC.in the real world.

Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.

I think if you do a quick search on YouTube, you'll find that lots of landings
take place in IMC, including computer-controlled autolands in very low
visibility (apparently Cat IIIc autolands in zero visibility are not actually
done because of the difficulty in taxiing to the gate thereafter).

As Jim already pointed out, YOU DON'T land anything. YOU SIMULATE
LANDING on MSFS.

I land in the simulator.

WHAT PART OF THAT DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND ABOUT SIMULATION?????

I might be tempted to ask the same question.

Is there a point to this 'debate'? We know the rules of the game MX
plays, Continue if you enjoy being played.
