I heard the story on the radio this morning and they said that not only was the controller a certified instructor but he flew this specific plane so he knew how

  From one of the other submissions: "Morgan had never flown this model Cessna. He pulled up a picture of the instrument panel's layout and started guiding his new student step-by-step." Morgan was the ATC.

  On the contrary the CNN story [0] said the controller was NOT familiar with this specific plane so he got a print out of the dashboard of that model so that he can guide the "pilot" properly. There was also a picture. [0] https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/florida-passenger-lands-plane/index.html https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/florida-passenger-lan...

    I always thought that in such a situation ATC would get a flight instructor with experience on that plane to the mic as quick as possible. I have a couple of landings in a commercial simulator (A380 and 747). It is manageable in good weather and in proper landing configuration. But I would have no idea how to operate the instruments properly. I'd need someone very familiar with the plane to talk me into the proper configuration.
