I'm glad that he said he felt like a hero. So many people who are heroes say "I'm not a hero, I'm just doing my job" Yes, you might be doing your job, but that doesn't mean every situation is the same. Had he not been there, this would've certainly ended tragically. He's 100% a hero. And let's not forget how much credit the passenger deserves too. This was a team effort. Amazing story.

@GeekOfAllness 2 года назад

@@spudmint You just pull back on the yoke. Gees will shove you into the floor, but it's not that crazy to manage if you're pulling back without too much force. Ideally, you'd drop power to idle to avoid overspeed and breaking the aircraft into pieces, but the most important part is pulling up moderately (pull back too hard and you can break things, especially when you're going super fast). Getting the pilot off the controls was probably significantly harder.

@GeekOfAllness 2 года назад

@@chadurbanski3468 A proper certification also expects you to understand a lot of tedious rules about where to fly, when to fly, how to inspect the aircraft, etc. And how to plan a trip, where to get resources, how to operate the advanced controls, etc. Taking off and landing in calm conditions is pretty easy with minimal instructions. Flying safely around other vehicles in the sky, flying in worse conditions, communicating in towered airspace, and knowing how to read the manual to fly your aircraft properly takes a lot more practice.

I want to hear from the passenger. As a pilot myself when I have been in nose dives typically you go into negative G's and trying to climb over seats and pull a man from a strapped in position would be very difficult. Especially if you have never experienced weightlessness. Did the aircraft spin or was it just a rapid decent because that would be two different animals. Either way the passenger should consider becoming a pilot.

This is certainly an amazing story, but I keep wondering about the "wrestle the slumped pilot out of his seat" part. This plane, like most, has dual controls and can be flown from either left or right front seats. Curious about the "slumped" phrase as the pilot should have been wearing his three point seat belt harness and thus couldn't fully slump forward, but the steep dive does seem to indicate his body was pressing down against the yoke. Looking forward to a more detailed description from the passenger/pilot.

He had so much knowledge of the instrument panel. Why act in interviews like he just popped out as a regular passenger with no flight knowledge? ATC “squawk 7700 on transponder” does so in 3 seconds. A person with no flight experience does not know what squawk means, or what a transponder is. In his interview, he states he knew he had to maintain proper airspeed so the wings wouldn’t get torn off. Hmmm… how would a random person know which one was the airspeed indicator, which arch it needed to be in and what the structural repercussions would be? He did a good job but in the aviation community we all know he had prior knowledge. Even using his full call sign “November 33 Lima Delta” when speaking with ATC.

You do deserve all the credit and you are a HERO. I am just so amazed at the perfect landing there are pilots that are license and don’t do as well as you did. I believe you missed your calling as a pilot

They did that entire news story without even mentioning what happened to the pilot. Lame.

I was awed by this story when I first heard about it but after seeing this video I am even more stunned! OMG, Flip Flops, sitting three rows back, plane in a nose dive, pilot slumped over the controls and a blacked out screen and.........................cool as a cucumber! Just incredible! 🩴🩴

I'm so proud of both of you. The non licensed pilot. You better get one, but know it's not required when you are in the middle of saving lives and your own. Congrats future Dad and mom... as for The captain on the tower, 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏. Wow!!! I hope the hired pilot is feeling better too. The passenger....thanks for staying calm 🥰

Everyone on the plane owes him an enormous gratitude. Somebody is going to make a movie of this to really view what was happening on that critical moment and he probably will name his child Cesna if she is a girl tho…

Flying is easy, landing on the other hand can get bad real quick for someone who has never been in that situation.

“All this instruments were blacked out” yet it was able to tell tower his altitude decent rate and airspeed🤦🏻‍♂️ this is what happens when John pupublic i.e the news talks about aviation.
