lnuss Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Every cyberpilots dream came true in Palm Springs Florida yesterday. I'd call it a nightmare, if I weren't a pilot and encountered that, and very uncomfortable (because of the ailment) in any case. Larry N.

mallcott Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I'd call it a nightmare, if I weren't a pilot and encountered that, and very uncomfortable (because of the ailment) in any case. I'm qualified as a pilot and I would STILL expect to die if that happened, in the absence of the Big Blue button..! Only in America! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 He also had a real good CFI ATC person talking him down and keeping him calm! My hair (what's left of it ) would be on fire! :eek: Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UPHILL3 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I used to live in the West Palm Beach area, and he was darn lucky to be near a major airport with a long runway - even so, as we armchair pilots know, many things can go oh so wrong landing any aircraft. It was truly a downright remarkable feat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
