The A380 only needs one pilot 👨✈️ and a dog 🐕. The pilot is there to feed the dog 🐕 . The dog 🐕 is there to bark at the pilot 👨✈️ in case he tries to touch any buttons.
@BoHan - Or even just a very young child. My earliest memory from the 1970s is of being taken to an airport for the first time where I was terrified by the glowing spiders that seemed to be coming down out of the skies. I wonder if someone from the middle ages would be equally shocked and awed by today's world and the fantastic beasts that fly through it.
Everyone thinks in their head they can land a plane if their life depended on it. And then they see a real cockpit and they realize everyone on board is screwed.
isnt it pretty much just the basics like landing gear speed and yoke or is there much more to it? obviously it wouldnt be a smooth landing but if you can walk away from it... let me know if my assumption is wrong, im no pilot
@@memestream8929 I'm a student pilot that's only flown fixed gear so idk the extent of landing a jet, but you can very easily land hard enough to cause injury or death. Even in the cesna 172 I fly it's very difficult to set it down smoothly even after studying and practicing.
It looks like a landing in Tron Legacy! As a child I had the opportunity to take a look just for a few seconds into a cockpit in flight in the late 70's its truly a shame that children have little chance to see that these days, at least they have wonderful videos like this to see instead.
Paul Hilbert maybe i can explain it to you. Generally in IMC you must be stabilized at 1000ft. In VMC, meaning you are completely visual, you must be stabilized by 500ft. So in this example 500ft is used as the last gate to make sure that the aircraft is fully stabilized
spudsmac0 thanks for that information. Where i fly it is still 500 for VMC, since there are quite a few visual approaches that require a descent rate more than 1000ft/minute below 1000 ft due to terrain
