Can a passenger land a plane? 120 min

Can a passenger land a plane?

The 120-minute program for those who want to know

Based on the classic movie “Panic in the Clouds”, you suddenly find yourself unprepared in the pilotless cockpit of a passenger plane with over 300 passengers and 17 crew members.

You are the only one who can save everyone and get the plane safely to the alternate airport. But can you do that too?

Using only a radio and the instructions of a tower pilot, you first have to somehow keep the plane in the air. Then you have to follow the instructions to dump fuel, reprogram the navigation computers, initiate the descent, enter the approach in the on-board computer, call up the weather, extend the landing flaps and the landing gear, and check the speed. Quite a lot at once!

But what happens if other aircraft suddenly cross your approach, systems fail or a storm suddenly hits? A fire in the cargo hold is the last thing you need right now!

Answer for yourself the question repeatedly asked in aviation and on the road:

Can a passenger land an airplane? And above all: Can YOU do it?

Realistically, the autopilot is used as far as possible. After the successful landing, we fly manually at the alternate airport, i.e. without autopilot and automatic speed control (autothrust). Manual takeoff/manual flying/manual landing.

The program can be completed alone, or you can bring a co-pilot with you to support you in the cockpit. In the movie, this is the stewardess. The price will of course remain unchanged.

So accept the challenge and take on the task of flying and landing a jumbo jet under completely realistic conditions.
