Co-pilot gets sick, stewardess helps land airplane
Given this set of circumstances, what types of assistance would a commercial-rated pilot be able to offer assuming she is not rated on this type aircraft? I would guess-communications with ATC primarily. What else? She, as mentioned, can help run the radio. She also can read "check lists." The pilot knows where the various switches/levers are. She can also call off speeds when landing. Depending upon how much skill she has, she can double check whether the pilot correctly did what the check list recommended. Indeed, that and the radio are the only two areas where "flight" experience is useful. |
