How YOU can land a passenger aircraft! 12 steps
4,301,760
Published 2019-10-25
What if a Passenger was the ONLY one left to land the plane? Could a passenger theoretically do it, without ANY previous knowledge or training?
In todays Special video, I will go through the required steps that will have to be taken in the cockpit in order to set the aircraft up for a safe auto-land. There will be around 20 different individual steps that needs to be taken and none of them can be omitted or done in the wrong order. This all depends on the passenger getting into contact with Air Traffic Control and being reasonably close to a suitable runway.

Imagine hearing back "Hello, I am stephen, I am just visiting the ATC-tower. I don't know what to do either."
-
I think every aviation fan has had this fantasy of being last man standing in a plane with 300 passengers and nailing a landing with ATC instructions.
-
I love how in the beginning it is stated that of course this is a scenario none of us will ever face, but as it progresses the presentation gets more and more serious. I find myself listening intently and trying to remember everything.
-
Step 1 is very hard, I wish they could just make a big red button called "emergency comm" that will take care of all switching
-
Tower: Nervous? Me: Yes. Tower: First time? Me: No, I've been nervous before.
-
I once thought I could bring a plane down safely. Now, I realize I wouldn't even be able to turn on the radio...

9:20 As a citizen of Bremen, its totally understandable that you don't want to continue to Bremen.

I worked as Cabin Crew for Ryanair and will soon start working for another airline, that's why I wanna learn to land a plane. Cabin crews are not trained for that but looking forward to a long term career, I wanna be ready for anything and everything. Thank you for your labor captain!

Who would have thought the hardest bit would be tuning in the radio
-
Air traffic control “please respond....” Me: “Hold on I’m watching a YouTube video...”

As a private pilot I often think if a passenger faces such a situation in a commercial flight is to focus and remain calm. Your attitude determines your altitude it’s said. Sitting in the seat remember the aircraft is still flying, wings level, and you have fuel. Aviate. Navigate. Communicate usually, but get communicating first in this scenario. 121.5 are your guardian angels.

I have just watched it in case I ever need it. And I have stored the emergency frequency in my phone contacts, just in case. Thank you.

2020 scenario: Someone: IS THERE ANYBODY ONBOARD THAT CAN FLIGHT THIS PLANE?! 3 seconds of silence 10 fans of flight simulator start fighting over it...
-
My brain at 3am: You never know. You got to watch it.
-
I have been a pilot with small aircraft. However, with 1.5M miles in commercial aircraft, I have often thought about how to assist in an emergency. This video is awesome. Thank you for having it. I look forward to getting through all of your videos. Keep them coming you are doing a great job.
-
I can just watch this guy over and over , the clearest and most precise instruction
-
Random person on a plane : does anyone know how to fly this thing Me: my time to shine
-
I already feel like a hero, watching this.

I’m a private pilot and aircraft owner so I come in to the scenario with a good understanding of the dynamics of flight. A few years back I had the unique opportunity to fly a major airline’s flight sim for an hour. I had an instructor pilot in the cockpit with me (not on the radio) to provide constant guidance. I found it remarkably easy to land the jet. I was feeling pretty sassy, and then he said let’s try it without auto throttles and throw in some weather. I was humbled in a hurry and found myself behind the aircraft once I had to worry about power adjustments and fighting with crosswinds. It was still great fun, and I logged the one hour of jet time. 😉

This is one of the best videos I have ever seen. You took a highly stressful situation and reduced it to an easy step by step procedure that anyone could do. Thanks so much for all you do. Keep up the great work.
