They seemed perfectly lined up with the runway and descended at the right pace though. That’d be real tough for a non-pilot to achieve.

- antonium 2y agoThere are auto-landing systems now. There was a video of a layman in a pilot seat (in a professional simulator) guided over radio landing plane with just few simple actions. Here, found it - https://old.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/comments/1dhi0x1/guy_with_no_experience_flying_planes_simulates/ https://old.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/comments/1dhi0...

- eps 2y agoYes, of course. Even in paper ones.
- TypingOutBugs 2y agoThen they’d have lost comms with the ATC which would have been mentioned by now surely? With two pilots incapacitated in a go-around procedure?
- Arn_Thor 2y agoSure but that needs to be set up and configured. I just don’t think there’s enough time in the scenario for ATC to guide a non-pilot to do it. And if they got that guidance, why no flaps and gears? I am quite convinced the pilots themselves had control of the aircraft.
