Trying to Land a Plane (to Prove the Dunning-Kruger Effect) 

Now try to do any other random specialized job in the world guided by an expert, just to "prove a point"...

everywhere 😟

Politics

Truck driving, everyone thinks they know how a truck works, and they think they're all the same. Every load, every trailer, every trip is different and you're literally just winging it with your experience every second of every day, especially with the terrible drivers in the cars being the worst drivers ever.

Everywhere, unfortunately.

Nice

I see what you did there

😂

Hahahaha

The first rule of Dunning-Kruger club is you don’t know you’re in Dunning-Kruger club.

Only on the new-gen plane that could land itself tho. On the other planes he set one on fire and one crashed, it just didn't show in the simulator itself.

That’s what I figured. I bet I could land it. Would it be a good landing? No of course not, the plane will probably be damaged in the millions for repair, but I would be able to walk off of it rather than be carried away in a body bag.

Literally

It seems that with more coordination it’s quite possible to land the plane. You can’t say everyone is going to “crunch” the landing gear. If he didn’t make that same 1 mistake twice it would have been a complete success. P.s. every single large commercial aircraft has autopilot for flying and landing for at least 20 years now. I was a guest in the cockpit for a commercial flight and the pilot asked me if he should manually land the plane without autopilot so I could watch, and he did. They are pretty smooth he did it like it was nothing, perfectly, and we were laughing and joking around with the other crew in the cockpit.

@@Spunkton you're missing his point. When someone says "I could land a plane" they mean "I could put this plane on the ground without killing as many people as if it crashed uncontrolled", which the video absolutely showed. You would have caused millions in damages, but at least people wouldn't be dead. Both crashes would have resulted in damages and fires, but the emergency crews would have been standing by because ATC would know that there is an untrained civilian flying a massive plane. So most would have survived.

My first time with my instructor, while he was lining up the runway he said "every landing is a crash, either controlled or uncontrolled, but any crash you walk away from is a good landing"

Landing a 737 with no flying experience: I’m not at all confident that anyone besides myself would be smart enough and brave enough to even attempt this and actually have a good chance at success. I would 100% step up and say “Everyone please relax, I’ve got this” to the entire 737 plane full of people and see if there’s another person on board that was not a total panicky idiot, and if we’re extremely lucky there would be someone and then I would be even more confident and would ensure everyone on board that we will all be landing safely and they would be with their loved ones shortly while reassuring them again of our absolutely certain ability to get us on the ground safely. I’d give it a 99.999% chance we succeed as long as we keep coms with our real pilot on the ground and or air traffic controllers. It might not be perfectly straight, and someone still may need to come onboard to help us park, or drive us up to the gate but I know for an absolute fact that I can check my ego with pride and would for sure let that happen if needed. We would all be very happy regardless, and I would laugh at our story and my inability to drive her once on the ground about not being able to park this big old’ plane but could manage figure out how to get us all on the ground safely!

There's a quote on the videogame War Thunder that talks exactly about that. It goes as following; "The plane is on the ground and the pilot is alive, a great landing it is!"

But there are airports with runways that aren't very big. Narita (Japan) has an infamously short runway because of huge failures in acquiring land for the airport that led to decades of protests that are technically still ongoing. But there's also the fact that take off and landing are the most dangerous times. Chances are, any untrained landing is going to end in fatalities, not end with a mere crash.

​@user-nf7ui7dz1z You are completely insane.

Just talk into the microphone while pushing the push to talk button. Whoever is on the other line of the current frequency will help you all the way.

​@@sientguyThe problem is that you might already be out of range of everyone on the frequency.

Yea, if someone asks if you know how to land a plane say you know how to operate the radio. The emergency frequency is 121.5 MHz and will always have someone lisening unless your out of range of everyone.

@@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714 Even then you have UHF. Tune to different frequencies on the MCDU and callout. Stay in the lower frequencies like single digits. Kinda sucks having to spray and pray but it's better than nothing. If the plane has wifi and you can see an airports IATA code on one of the DU's you can Google their ATC's frequency. All of this assumes you have time though. I'd assume that autopilot and autothrottle are already on in this scenario. Commercial jets have TCAS so other airliners will most likely deviate. Now smaller planes without TCAS. Someone who doesn't know anything about an airplane will probably just be scared and confused about why the plane is yelling at them to climb/descend. Assuming automatic TCAS isn't on.

@@Edss-nr6xw A smaller plain tho is easyer to fly manually. Its more responsible, big engines take longer to spin up and bigger objects take longer to slow down.

I'm curious, do pilots these days generally use autopilot to land, or do they do it manually? Presumably they still have to keep in practice in case the autopilot fails?

Depending on the equipment and category of approach you can either use Autoland, or (my preference) disconnect the autopilot 200 feet or more above the ground and hand fly the last part of the approach.@@monkeymox2544

Autopilot is disabled during landing, too many variables so little time to avert if something goes wrong, as well as other things.@@monkeymox2544

Manually, although for the early approach phase, the plane flies on autopilot, you baby sit it until on final [around 1 nautical mile out (VARIES)], then you disengage the AP and hand fly the aircraft carefully to touchdown, in case of an emergency or bad weather, A CAT III verified aircraft can perform a landing via the computer (auto land), although this is not always available, and in very bad weather conditions planes will simply not be permitted to fly.@@monkeymox2544

​@@monkeymox2544 depends on the plane does bigger ones is literally 1 button click and it does the line up altitude throttle flappers wheels for you. 99.9% automatic... Smaller planes align themselves (most of them) then you just put down the flappers and wheels when you're at your desired speed like 120 knots (depends on the plane etc.) in those planes you might have to do the throttle automatically. Basically pull it all the way down half slow when you touch the ground (also raise the pitch a tiny bit). But yes it all depends on the plane. Also you are trained for worst case scenarios so you should be able to manually land the plane, in fact its quite easy if you know how to align the plane. (the tower will often tell you the speed, altitude etc.) Edit: bruh he basically said everything i said in the video...

Putting this feather in my hat for the rest of my life

are you saying he's certified for Ryanair?

@@bubbleboi28 on manual, yes

@@bubbleboi28 overqualified, actually

It was a bit hard to tell, but it's possible he landed too far forward on the front gear before the back gears. I've heard the larger planes are meant to land on the rear gears, which can take a lot of punishment, unlike the front. But I have no clue what I'm talking about, so take what I'm saying with a grain of salt

I wish everyone has the same self awareness and ability to self-reflect like you here. World will be a utopia.

​​​@@noirnoir3701 as if all of the world's problems are caused by lack of individual self reflection. Unicorns would decend from the heavens to facilitate efficient trade and end starvation and suffering all around the world! And there would be no need for silly things like resources, or armies or borders because we'd all be super self reflective

When I was first learning to drive (in the very first driving lesson, when I had never driven before) my driving instructor showed me how to put the car in reverse and how to change gears and then he was just like: "Ok, now drive the car onto this 60km/h road". I definitely did not feel confident that I knew what I was doing.

I fell asleep at the will 2 years after I got my license

I recommend driving to a place you haven't been before/are unfamiliar with once and a while if you get too cocky. I'm terrible at directions and suddenly forget how to read signs from being panicky. Muscle memory controls a lot more than people think and is probably why it's even possible to blank out while driving in the first place.

I agree. Couldnt have asked for a better outcome! That touchdown looks like maybe 800-900fpm+ heavy, will probably have structural dmg but all lives saved maybe minor injuries nothin too serious. I mean, untrained, first time in a full motion sim, getting instructions via radio or from the back and having to figure out what the instructions mean. The stress levels would be immense esp in a real life landing. So he did great!

If you can walk away from the landing, it's a good one. If you can use the plane again, it's a great landing. If the plane doesn't require any repairs it was a perfect landing.

Well, they used to say any landing you can walk away from...

As they say, any landing you can walk away from is a good one

I used to hear, any landing you can walk away from is good one, any you can fly the plane again…

Isnt it amazing how much SA can be drained simply by being in the weather?! I hate being IMC.

For real man, I was expecting it to go much worse.

Im a 737 pilot While not great, for a person with no aviation background, both tries were actually pretty good

I'm a student pilot, and yet I feel like I know absolutely nothing about what I'm doing....all of the time 😆 But yeah.... He did good considering he isn't in any actual classes.

@@RedBroski Yeah, I don't think its till you're a student pilot that you realize just how overwhelming it can be. Even simple things become hard because you're so task saturated. Good luck on the training!

I have always said, I can guarantee you that while having never flown an aircraft bigger than a suitcase, I can land a plane. I make no promises about the number of casualties however, even a crash landing is a landing and I never promised anyone would survive, lol. That being said. I think a decent number of people, if they can keep calm, could land a plane with at least one of the passengers surviving. In a modern plane even with adverse weather, probably some people will survive which is still better than none.

​@@2009dudeman Most people don't know this but planes are made of aluminum. It's light weight and usually hundredths of an inch thick. A scratch big enough to catch your finger on the skin of the aircraft (the green under panels, it's green because it's bare aluminum with primer on it) is required to be depth tested to see if it's within limits. Happened where I work recently. Someone scratched the skin and NDT had to come out with an ultrasonic test set to determine the thickness of the skin in that spot. It was within limits (thankfully) but people who don't understand how fragile the fuselage skin is wouldn't understand why such a tiny scratch is cause for major concern. Aluminum is delicate. Over time as the fuselage expands and contracts due to extreme temperatures at higher altitudes and cabin pressurization that tiny scratch will become a crack in a relatively short amount of time. Eventually it will lead to rapid depressurization. Aluminum is malleable and flexes well. That's also its weakness. For reference, thicker aluminum foil is around 0.072 inches thick. A lot of planes have skin thicknesses around 0.125 inches. Not even an entire one-hundredth of an inch thicker. I'm not an engineer by any means. But that alone doesn't give me much hope for the odds of a decently hard landing going well. Because I *seriously* doubt with the yoke in the hands of a completely inexperienced person they will be able to keep the jets landing gear parallel with the runway. _Especially_ if there's a crosswind. A tail strike would be devastating. A wing strike would be bad too. All in all, in my experience, engineers focus their effort on the computer systems and flight surfaces on board to mitigate the need for a hard landing... in the hands of an experienced pilot. We're talking about someone who potentially hasn't even played microsoft flight simulator taking a stab at it. My money is on the decimating themselves and anything nearby.

@@Edss-nr6xw none of that is relevant to the fact that having even a completely unaware person in the cockpit with ATC provides a higher chance of survival for people on the plane, than lacking the cockpit empty in case of pilot incapacitation, which has a result of 100% fatalities. Cool that you are in the industry, but having a person that's alive and can follow an order from someone, on it's own, provides a higher chance of survival than a person that's incapacitated and can't follow orders. We saw it here where listening to the actual pilot tell you how to program the plane resulted in a rather 'normal ' landing. Adverse weather just increases the risk of critical damage, it doesn't make auto pilot non-functional. Besides, chances are the pilots are incapacitated long before diversion to better weather isn't possible, at which point you can be talked through the process.

The dunning kruger effect strikes again!

Give me a 5 minute rundown. I'm landing that plane like a pro!

Expert pilots are just mad that gaming nerds could do what they do with a couple hours of flight sim😂😂😂

@@Chloe-dc3bm I got the chance to take off, fly, and land all on my “own” in a real plane with zero training whatsoever😅, and I found out that even flying straight is WAY more complicated than I expected, and I had played a lot of simulators. Now honestly landing was easier somehow, but hella scary, I felt like I was at a 45° angle

If I had air traffic control talking to me, I could definitely land the plans

You’re blowing my mind, Orange!!

That is so meta.

Ironically, this is what I was thinking when the discoverer himself is talking about it..

people that question themselves usually do not suffer from the dunning kruger effect. Introspection is like the best way to prevent it

@@MCRuCr Or maybe that's what one would think if they don't know enough about it...

Surely you can’t be serious

A good landing is one you (and everyone else on the plane) can walk away from, an excellent landing is one after which you can use the plane again.

He got on the runway which is probably better than most people

You are right, but Joe expected not to crash, and that was the point.

Joe made it to the runway with out automation in IMC conditions. That's really impressive.

Tell that to the families of the 1% passengers that died

Willing to try again! Let’s go Tom!

Tom Scott will only do it with the seats reversed lol

That would be very entertaining

Might be the most unreliable flight crew ever 😂😂 jk

Yessss

Stephen King once said, "if you don't start out a little too big for your britches how do you ever hope to fill them?"

Fax!

First step in avoiding a trap is knowing of its existence

@@nathanjasper512 Oh I misunderstood, I was starting out a little too big for my bitches.

If you squint real hard it's a landing

yeah, most people tend to be quite adept at this Lithobraking manoeuvre, which is also true with cars after a few drinks

Had us in the first half Ngl😂

Valid! Specific parameters such as: “survival of all on board” and “plane is still capable of flying afterward” really do make all the difference here.

Any landing you can walk away from is a good one.

Or we live in the modern world and it’s more accurately reported

@@Skim_beeble7125 - Prior to the modern era more people probably could survive in the wilderness, as far more people had to out of necessity.

Beyond those shows, in my experience most people who hunt/fish/grow crops overestimate their ability to survive after a cataclysmic disaster/event. And while they would likely survive better than someone without those skills, they probably wouldn't do as well as they initially thought.

Or people thinking they can be an effective President of the United States or CEO because they've seen other people do it, but wind up being a disaster

@@kingetzel2755 How many cataclysms have you experienced lol

yep, hence I love checklists and their procedures. They actually give you a reason to go through every step without being fully "automated" on doing them. Although I'm pretty sure many airmen had the situation where they said check although it wasn't, also by habits after doing a known checklist for the umpteens time. ^^

@@BruceCarbonLakeriver - Likewise. I am a great believer in the efficacy of checklists. Quite often, for some things, i don't even use written checklists. I use "visual" checklists. For example, I am preparing to leave the house to travel. Rather than write up a checklist. I put all the things I need to take in one place so that I know that I have everything when that area is clear. A rather simplistic example but I think it illustrates the kind of thing that I mean.

@@halfrhovsquared Me too! And I feel like a nerd about this. But guess who didn't have forgotten something? Yep, me :) Checklists FTW! :)

Well put! 👌🏽👌🏽

I used to race motocross and we would talk about the most dangerous racers. We agreed that beginners were somewhat dangerous, especially in the first turn. However, it was the newly ranked novices (one class up from beginners) who were the most dangerous. They start to believe they have it all figured out and push beyond their capabilities and frequently cause the worst accidents. Expert class was the safest, and fastest class. Everyone knows what they are doing, and can reliably predict what others will do.

LoL 😂yeah I can believe that!

Why are you degrading his ability like that? *most*? :D

Ryanair, who belly flop every landing from at least 50ft ...yup

😂😂

After a couple of Ryan air flights I thought “this cannot be normal” and “are they landing like this on purpose?” Go figure they do, they are trained to land with a faster approach to reduce the chances of having to abort the landing, no matter the weather or wind situation. They argue is safer but mostly is to reduce the chances of delays and costs caused by aborted landings.

You can do this at Embry-Riddle. I was always fascinated with this degree. However, it costs a lot of money.

Swiss cheese effect, sometimes all the holes line up and you end up with a major incident.

*Dunning-Kruger

@@ihtfp69you can do this at Embry-Riddle, but be prepared to pay 2x as much as anywhere else to get the same degree and ratings.

You should re-take basic English.

Simple rule: Beginners make beginner's mistakes, experts make expert's mistakes!

According the Bohr, I would be an expert at marriage!

I was considered an expert by others in my industry and was asked to train new staff. It used to make me angry as hell. So many things that I was never taught but had to learn by trial and error and they would have me train others.

Another quote I like along these lines is an amateur practices until they get it right and professionals practice until they can’t get it wrong.

Good luck with your training

Good luck!

I went to one when I was in high school. The flight part was so fun. I was too nervous to land. I will never forget that flight. Also it was a hot day and when we were taxiing out and a tar patch stuck to one of the tires.

Any reccomendations??? I want my PPL for the fun of flighting

​@Don't Read My Profile Photo dude....why??? Too many people do this and it's totally pointless and more of an annoyance than anything. You aren't actually joining a conversation, you are interrupting one to basically say "look at me!" and what exactly do you gain from doing this?? You could do some really cool stuff with your RU-vid but you chose to do this "don't read" stuff. Why?? What is the end result you are expecting from doing this??

Wow! That's interesting. Especially when you dig deep knowledge in your field, you should realize how much respect you have to give into other fields..

That's really surprising. The PhDs I know essentially all suffer from imposter syndrome, they're far from being overconfident even in their own fields. I can see older, successful, established Phds being the opposite though.

@@arthanor9631 yeah. I think serious doctors are much more humble considering the amount of complexity they are dealing with..

I talked with the world-famous Andreas Gruentzig, M.D. (Heidelberg) just days before he flew his Beechcraft into the ground. I was told that he was sure his altimeter was wrong, though I have no direct knowledge of that.

I believe it's called ultracrepidarianism

Landing is definitely the most stressful. Esp. if the ILS system is down or the airfield doesn't have one. Take off is not much of an issue and once in the air at altitude there's not much to be worried about.

@@brucesmith5426 Interestingly in a glider it is the opposite. Landing is less stressfull than taking off. There are way more things that can go wrong at landing than at taking off.

@@haltux I couldn't tell you about a glider. In a true glider you could be correct.It could be as most don't have any type of thrust involved for T/O. But any landing is just a controlled crash.

a

You know what is scary? You dont recognize how valuable your knowledge and ability is and you need others to remind you. This is not a grey hound bus even though because of the can of tuna with wings feeling ppl get from the cramped seating. For reference look at how much a bus driver makes compared to a pilot and if you still cant figure out your value after that you should probably stop piloting especially with passengers. You want to have a pity party and fly into a mountain, do it alone please, thanks.

Don't call me out like this

Literally in the $millions.

As a sim racer and aviation nerd, i would love to get the chance to crash in one of these beautifull machines, i used to play alot of flight sim as a kid

@@Pilsnor - There are ways that you can do that. Expect to pay $200-500 an hour for that privilege.

@@deanfowlkes that does actualy not sound too bad to be honest 😅

Wouldn't call it on the glideslope per se but still impressive lol

I get what you mean but it’s not impressive because he just showed anyone can do it

@@Boostiverse no, defintely not anyone.. Put someone in that seat with NO knowledge of planes at all and look how it goes

@@baadlyrics8705 Agreed. A flight simmer does know more than someone who knows nothing about aviation, but I never for a moment thought that one of us could fly and land a 737 without ripping the plane apart and killing everyone or very nearly everyone aboard. Full autopilot ILS landing, sure but not manually.

@@mikoto7693 that's a gross exaggeration.

And probably the same for everything else that has a "kill zone", I'll bet. Familiarity breeds contempt - until it's bred out of you by ohgodohgodwe'reallgonnadie. Still, I am convinced that people who need to acquire a domain skill on a routine basis (e.g., software developers) have a slightly higher tolerance to the DK effect - by pattern recognition if nothing else. That is to say: by the fifth or seven time that you went "how hard can this be?" and then followed up with "oh god this is hard", if you are tempted to go "how hard can this be?" again you will probably get that feeling of foreboding that goes "oh wait, I've seen this movie, I think I know how it ends". Spoiler warning: it never ends well. The usual result is that, instead of underestimating te required effort by two orders of magnitude, you might only underestimate by one. Ain't that great? Insert AI joke here.

@@o0alessandro0o Somthing that takes skill to keep you alive needs to respected at All times. Ego = Accidents . In most cases that iv observed at least.

@@damianbigelow9511 That's... True, objectively speaking. I'm not sure it's entirely germane to my original point, however.

@@o0alessandro0o no not at all realy but I agree with you. Iv seen this myself when I 1st acquire my motorcycle license. The people that came with no experience are all still alive that I know of. But out of the 5 people that came in with "claimed experience" 2 of them were killed the 1st year on the rd legally and 1 a couple years later. All 3 at excessive speeds on a road that couldn't possibly support high speeds. Their egos litraly killed them..

As someone who just recently completed the motorcycle training course, acquired my license and began riding, I remind myself of this before every ride to bring me back to reality so I try not to exceed my current skills.

The killing zone typically happens between 50-300 hours of flight time.

Actually, thats just not true....historically speaking novices are actually more likely to complete a task with more success than a relevant expert....I saw a documentary about this.

Yep, you just proved the point.

Same is true for vegans, interestingly enough.

@@wiredforstereo The number of people who bash vegans versus the numbers of vegans who actually behave the way they're accused of, it's like 100-to-1. And I'd take a proselytizing vegan over a hateful meat-eater any day. Keep burning the planet, my friend.

Well the question is: How do you become an expert? By reading, and watching, and gaining experience from other experts. Takes a significant amount of time, but at some level of study, you become an expert yourself. And at that point, you yourself contribute to the knowledge base.

Or forget an instrument in the patient.

As a lawyer who has a lot of cases revolving around medical malpractice (on both sides, so I sometimes represent the suing patient and sometimes defend the accused doctor/hospital), I can 100 % confirm this. The vast majority of cases we have are either surgeons who have less than 5 years or more than 30 years of experience.

“Hey what’s this thing?” *pokes with scalpel*

Winnipeg had a pediatric cardiac surgeon retire. His replacement was confident and attempted surgeries on infants that might not have been advisable. Before long the nurses refused to work with him in OR.

Well, you don't have to worry too much about other planes. ATC would be vectoring the other planes away from the emergency landing that you're making, because you're going to crash and there will be a fire.

The only accurate part is "no streaming passengers". Everything else has been in MS FS since at least 2004.

Yeah, in an actual crisis, Gilded Bear is correct. The MOMENT you've announced the in air emergency, even while ATC is telling you how to switch the transponder to emergency frequency, other controllers are clearing the sky as far and wide as they can possibly make it for you... You'll pretty much have the whole of the airspace to yourself.

Hm, wasn't he in IMC in the last attempt?

you remind me of my dad every time I think I accomplished something

For some reason I read that as "who's been flying 737s since *HE* was an infant." 😂

I worked with a field service technician that had previously worked on flight simulators. He said a pilot took him up in a small plane. When they were cruising the pilot asked if he wanted to fly it. He said he didn't know how. The pilot said he had experience with flight simulators. So my friend took over and made level and going the right direction. Then the plane starting climbing so my friend adjusted the flaps and leveled it off again. Then it started diving and he again go it to right altitude and level. Then he realized the pilot was laughing his head off. The pilot was a big guy and was sitting at the center of gravity and leaning forward and backwards. The pilot said that flight simulators don't simulate everything.

Scrutiny is science, dude. If you can’t refute scrutiny, then you aren’t contributing science.

@@jtfike and you aren't contributing to my comment by mentioning something that has nothing to do with what i said

Yes, most people think psychology is easy and that applies and affects to professionals as well. I've seen enough professionals that know next to nothing and doing absolutely nothing to help an individual and still getting paid. Or when they ignored someone with BPD, because they were charismatic enough. Psychology can be understood without reading from a book, just like math, since most variables remain constant, but since Psychology doesn't require mechanical understanding, unlike maths and physics, it tends to be underestimated more. I said that, but maths and physics are also underestimated, tho in different ways like those crackpot theorists.

After reading your comment I’m quite confident in my ability to land a commercial airliner.

It's the Dumming-Kreuger effect you maroon.

To say it more simply, as a pilot you need to be a manager and have a vast amount of knowledge and skills that you can instantly recall to make the right decisions that will bring the aircraft safely back to the ground.

Wait, when was that?

@@FelipeKana1 18:45

So What would Elon Musk do with that information?

What was he talking about? Was he referring to his own ignorance about the knowledge of Musk’s knowledge? One of the benefits of a PhD is that you have to teach complete newbies in your field, and neophytes, and undergrads majoring in your field. PhDs can speak to and explain at many levels. It is an incidental part of the degree process. Musk has spent the better part of two decades understanding “rocket science” and has demonstrated the ability to explain what is going on to complete idiots.

I'm also curious what he was referring to, and have little clue. My best guess is that he's referring to the fact that Elon has defended the name "autopilot" in Tesla's cars for their ADAS as an imperfect system, and that Dr. Dunning has something to say about that since this autopilot apparently is pretty powerful/reliable, given some location information. But maybe it's related to Dragon/Starship landings? Or something else?

I'm just an ordinary guy. No special knowledge, no education beyond the basics, but, one talent I've always had. I've always been able to do ANYTHING I could watch someone else do. This realization isn't absolute in that, even though I have extensively proved this fact to myself over decades, I'm still hesitant to jump into something. My first job at fifteen, I learned in one hour how to cook/bake everything in the restaurant without fail. I've rebuilt cars just by watching someone else. I only call a service person due to time constraints, otherwise I fix everything in my house, cars, or electronics.

@@nyeahgarner2420 same with me, then I went to engineering school and (except for the higher classes) I was bored like hell xD

It's happened quite a lot in real life though. Just recently down in Miami a passenger had to land when the pilot had a heart attack and I'm pretty sure she didn't have any experience.

Odds are someone in the crowd actually is a pilot

@@crispy9175 On small planes. It can't happen on a big airliner since 9/11 because a passenger will not get into the cockpit.

@@hellterminator that's assuming both pilots and all flight attendants are incapacitated at the same time. But yes, it's definitely not as likely to happen on a big commercial jet.

I've flown solo, but I know just looking at the bank of instruments in an air liner that I'd be lost.

Depending on how you've played them, the gap between your knowledge and reality may vary a lot. Also depends on what you mean by learning to drive. Is it common driving like getting your driver's licence, or are you talking about race-driving?

​@@stryker1797and in addition, what game, and the experience and lesson from playing the game, since Mario Kart is also called a racing game alongside games like Forza, Need For Speed, GRID and such. I'd prefer not talk about Forza Horizon.

I’m glad someone else caught it lol

He would never say that IRL though, this would be a very stupid thing to say, since it would put unnecessary stress on the non-pilot pilot.

All I could think about was Airplane - only other thing missing was the profuse sweating 😅

I do electronics since 4 and I'm always confident I could make a particular circuit irl from my head. But everytime I try I feel absolutely the most idiot person in this planet.

I wish there was a way to get more good feedback on my 3D art. Although I've learned a lot and can do pretty well in some areas, there is still so SO much I do not know especially in fundamentals like anatomy that I really really would like to learn more of, but I usually do not get much good feedback at all when I ask online.

Well we’ve seen what happens when we turn away some people from art school

You should consider pursuing a lisence :)

Google is your friend. Literally 80% of my ability to code and troubleshoot boils down to being good at finding info on forums.

I use Linux without a GUI for my job and for research. But I know that I can mess things up that would take so long to repair that I keep my data separate from the OS/docker, load the data that I want to the OS file system, manipulate it there, and then manually backup data after analysis. That way I can't accidently corrupt my data, and when things go wrong I just use a new image/docker/fresh install. I want to eventually use linux with a GUI as my day to day OS, but I remember how lost and overwhelmed I get when certain tools I need have compatibility issues, and how many different ways there are of setting different settings, that I know that I eventually would be able to get over major hills. In this case, even after you become an expert, a lot of it will actually seem quite simple, and you will wonder why you felt so intimidated before, because it wasn't really that it was hard, it was just unfamiliar.

Well i did a ton of stuff right away when i got it

@@eroraf8637 yeah, especially since a lot of platforms / frameworks seem to not understand the importance of having docs other than very terrible docs made directly from their javadocs annotations

just knowing about linux apart from "haha penguin OS" is probably enough to consider yourself at least more tech-savvy than the average

Give me that kitty

It was a good video. That’s a subscribe from me!

How many hours do you think is necessary to perform a safe landing aka a landing that everyone can walk away from?

Do you think some flight simulator experience would enable one to bring the plane down without killing everyone? I am having an argument with my brother. Only requirement is that there are survivors.

@@TheErilaz They already implied the answer, 40, that's what it takes to get a PPL

@@schwig44 maybe even less, you do solo landings at 10-20 hours so with some luck you'd be able to land the 737 with help

@@waynebimmel6784 His first landing "started a major fire." It is entirely possible to evacuate the airplane during a major fire, so there would be some survivors, you just wouldn't have everyone survive

13 hours ago!?! My brain is malfunctioning

How in the world does this say this comment was posted 13 hours ago? The vid was posted like 5 minutes ago?

@@bluethunder_ The video may have been unlisted then uploaded later

@@bluethunder_ guys guys… they might be a supporter of the channel or something stop freaking out

Update: HA!! I can't stop laughing. You ended the video perfectly with the best "Airplane" quote! LOVE IT!!

What were you doing wrong?

@jeremymontasser6182 Basically, just not being aware of the size of the vehicle and not planning a turn correctly.

@@james10o1 ah, makes sense. Thans for elaborating!
