Sad day for Mxsmanic
"Mxsmanic" wrote in message ... Mike Ash writes: All of this has to happen before the poor *******s up in the air run out of fuel and die. Incapacitation of the pilots does not drain fuel from the tanks. Can even this much be done, much less the actual talking-through-the-landing part? I'm doubtful myself. If anyone with airline logistics experience would like to weigh in, I'd love to hear about the practicality of simply finding the people and equipment from someone who knows. It seems to be pretty easy to find S&R, fire equipment, and military interception on short notice; why would it be hard to find an instructor? Are you really that stupid? Do you have a staffed, 24 hour Flight Instructor Department next to the local Fire Department in France? Do they drive emergency vehicles? Slide down poles? You're a hopeless twit. |

How do you know that if you haven't used a G1000? Cheers |

It's so easy, any monkey can do it. The only humans who are functionally incapable of performing these simple tasks are pilots themselves, because their intelligence is so impaired they cannot even realize they are the least capable of doing their own job . . . It's unwise to lump all pilots together. There are pilots who are too stupid to handle the complexity of a large airliner, of course, but they are a minority. Flying an airliner isn't sufficiently different from flying a small airplane that someone too stupid to handle the former would be likely to be competent in the latter. |

I don't find that whether the trees look like lumps of green or have leaves on them makes one bit of difference to a real simulator. That's not the important part. The important part is that everything in the cockpit must look as it does in real life, since much of the training (in the case of airline pilots, for example) is intended to reinforce procedures that are intimately connected to the ergonomy of the flight deck. It wouldn't do to train pilots for engine failures on take-off using simulator cockpits that have controls in positions different from those of the real thing--it would defeat the entire purpose of the training, in fact. So these aspects are very important. What is outside the window, in contrast, is usually not important in these types of simulations, although some things, such as airport surfaces, must be accurately simulated. |

writes: However said frequency is hardly appropriate for spontaneous flight instruction and the people in the ATC facility are generally nowhere near where any pilots are. That is easily remedied by putting an experienced instructor pilot on frequency. Point totally missed. It would be highly unlikely that there would be an experienced instructor pilot within 50 miles of an ATC facility nor do ATC facilities keep a list of phone numbers of experienced instructor pilots, much less a list sorted by various airliner types. In the case of smaller aircraft, non-pilots (and pilots) have occasionally been assisted by air traffic controllers who had piloting experience. Smaller aircraft aren't airliners; you are in a hole and trying to get out by changing the subject. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

True, but what they don't have is a list of qualified airline pilots and their phone numbers. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |
