Can you handle two emergencies at the same time[^] ... the article (unfortunately only available in German) is about the discussion as to whether one pilot will be enough for a passenger plane in the future :laugh:
Spoiler alert... no. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Nope, just nope. You can only switch from one task to another in a fast pace, but still not handle it at the same time.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

You can, however, consider the task to be multithreaded. Such as an organ player both doing the pedals, the right hand and the left hand. Or a car driver who both manages the steering wheel, the brake pedal and the speed pedal. (With electric cars, calling it the 'gas pedal' is misleading :-)).
Religious freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make five.

Among English-speakers, it never was the "gas pedal". I was always the "accelerator pedal", as opposed to the "brake pedal".

No. With any mechanical system, failures happen. For safety, there needs to be a human available to adjust for the failure. According to the Smithsonian Channel's Air Disasters series, there are many times when the instruments, sensors, and automation indicate normal operation, but the pilot's seat-of-the-pants instincts as an aviator tell a different tale: something is wrong. This instinct or feeling has made the difference between life and a fatal crash.
During an emergency, if the airplane needs to land now!, the automation will look for an airport. A human pilot can, and has, considered other options, including highways, river levees, beaches, a farmer's field, and even the Hudson River. In each of those successful cases, no one was killed, there were no serious injuries, and the airplane was repaired and back in service within a month or two.
On longer flights, it is imperative that the task of piloting the airplane be switched of between at least two pilots to relieve strain, stress, fatigue, in some cases boredom, and to allow the pilot to stretch, move, and take care of other human functions.

Joke answer, and this comes from an American background, considering the image. Depends.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated. I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.
