So better to just crash?
-
From CP newsletter. Almost half the men surveyed think they could land a passenger plane. Experts disagree | CNN[^]
"So, if you’ve never even learned the basics of flying, your chances of successfully landing a passenger aircraft with air traffic control’s help are close to zero."
So I am guessing the article is claiming that if the crashing plane does not have fully certified pilot on board every one should just give up and die. Also wonder about the article diverging into the following...
"For takeoff, the aircraft must build up speed until the wings"
Were they perhaps worried that a passenger would need to step in for an emergency takeoff? Because? Like the zombie apocalypse and everyone needs to escape from the horde running across the field?
