If you were on a plane and the pilot was incapacitated, do you think you could land it?

@Kurtroedeger well sure I could ā€œlandā€ it.

Just donā€™t qualify that with survival rates.

@stueytheround they're down too. And everyone else is unconscious. Do you think you could pull it off?

@Kurtroedeger I think I would also be unconscious in that ridiculously unlikely scenario šŸ¤£

@sentientdessert @Kurtroedeger

any landing you can walk (or be carried away) from, is a good landing

@sentientdessert do you think you could successfully land it. The plane doesn't have to be reusable, but everyone survived mostly ok

@Kurtroedeger If it were a small plane, MAYBE... if it were a jetliner, no.

@Kurtroedeger

depends on the plane--private plane, i'd probably try, with support from radio. jets, not a chance.

@northernbassist yeah, large passenger Jet has too many doodads and doohickeys.

@Kurtroedeger Depends on the plane. I _might_ be able to land something simple, like a Cessna or Piper, because I've dicked around flying in those before - it's like flying a Honda Civic, except crashes are more spectacular.

I would prefer someone who knew what they were doing.

A commercial plane? Fat chance. I would certainly crash it. There's like 9 million buttons and switches and numbers and things!
