> Morgan learned the passenger on the line had never flown a plane -- but had been around aviation and seen other pilots fly.
If they've been around planes like this before, I don't think it'd be that difficult to land in one piece with guidance (and the ATC seemed to be a CFI as well). But what do I know, I'm still working on my PPL.
Hopefully the passenger got his logbook signed for his first solo

- andrewmunsell 4y agoAh very true :) Joking aside, I don't want to make it seem like I am discounting their achievement. It's a very high pressure situation with a lot of potential for a bad outcome, and they handled it extremely well.
