The Impossibility of Flying Heavy Aircraft Without Training
Would you guys mind moving this off rec.aviation.piloting and
rec.aviation.student? These forums are for actual flying discussions for pilots. I think you already got your answer from the pilot community. -Robert, CFI |

The Impossibility of Flying Heavy Aircraft Without Training
Nonsense!
In 1999 I had an opportunity to "fly" the 777 Simulator at Boeing. I was a two-hundred hour Cessna 172 pilot -- strictly VFR. With 30 minutes of "training" and a bit of coaching I was able to "fly" to the destination and make a successful IFR approach and landing. I believe an experienced PC Flight Simulator "pilot" could do as well. Modern Glass cockpits really do make flying much easier -- when everything works properly. When it doesn't the the pilot, i.e., Systems Manger, really earns his/her salary. I don't have any doubts that the September 11th Terrorists did not fly the airliners into the targets. Hitting three of Four was probably better luck than they would have predicted, but even a blind pig finds an occasional truffle. See Occam's Razor. - John Ousterhout - Immanuel Goldstein wrote: The Impossibility of Flying Heavy Aircraft Without Training Nila Sagadevan | February 21 2006 Nila Sagadevan is an aeronautical engineer and a qualified pilot of heavy aircraft. What follows is an attempt to bury this myth once and for all, because I’ve heard this ludicrous explanation bandied about, ad nauseum, on the Internet and the TV networks—invariably by people who know nothing substantive about flight simulators, flying, or even airplanes. A common misconception non-pilots have about simulators is how “easy” it is to operate them. They are indeed relatively easy to operate if the objective is to make a few lazy turns and frolic about in the “open sky”. But if the intent is to execute any kind of a maneuver with even the least bit of precision, the task immediately becomes quite daunting. And if the aim is to navigate to a specific geographic location hundreds of miles away while flying at over 500 MPH, 30,000 feet above the ground the challenges become virtually impossible for an untrained pilot.

Actually, he is not. Not in the US, anyway. There is no one by the name of Sagadevan currently holding a pilot certificate of any kind in the US, not even a private pilot certificate, or even a student pilot certificate. He does not appear anywhere in the FAA database. That might explain why he does not have the faintest idea of what he is talking about. 100% of the pilots posting here have met these allegations with absolute derision. What does that tell you about the likelihood of Sagadevan's claims? |

He is a kook; that is how kooks "think." |
