Sad day for Mxsmanic
"Mxsmanic" wrote in message ... "Darkwing" theducksmail"AT"yahoo.com writes: For the same reason I'm really good at killing zombies on my computer, it isn't real life you nitwit. Unfortunately, that's not an answer. The reality is that there is no basis for your assertion. It has long been taken as gospel that a non-pilot could never land an airliner, and as long as one sticks to the outdated assumption that he'd have to actually take the controls, that's probably true. But today's airliners are so heavily automated that they can be flown and landed without ever touching the flight controls, so the dogma of yesteryear is no longer applicable. Dude, I wouldn't guarantee that I could land an airliner, even if I did it wouldn't be pretty. But don't let reality get in the way of your delusion of saving the day. If you want to pretend that pushing a few buttons that you are told to push and the thing autolanding as "really" landing an airliner then that is hardly landing an airliner. Now if you want to talk hand flying the plane onto the runway with just MSFS experience as your background then I think you live in fantasy land. |
