Скачать или смотреть Can a Passenger Actually Land a Plane? | Ask The Captain

Have you ever wondered if a passenger could really land a plane in an emergency? Or why it sometimes feels like the plane is sinking right after takeoff? In this episode of Ask the Captain, we're tackling your most interesting and challenging questions.

Captain Steve draws on his decades of experience to provide direct answers. He explains what happens during a mid-Atlantic emergency, reveals how pilots train for incapacitation in the simulator, and settles the debate about those notoriously firm Navy pilot landings. From the environmental impact of dumping fuel to the one historic aircraft he wishes he could fly, no topic is off-limits.
