That said, pilots -- or even non-pilots -- can actually do fairly well landing a large aircraft as long as they're being talked through the process by someone experienced.

- protomyth 14y agoI really wouldn't consider MythBusters a good source. The test they came up with for the snow plow episode is so far from a proper model, it gave exactly the wrong results and basically told folks something wrong and dangerous. It is fun entertainment and they try hard within those bounds, but they get stuff totally wrong sometimes.
- lotharbot 14y agoSometimes their tests are terrible. This is not one of those times.
- spc476 14y agoI had the chance to land an Airbus 320 (simulator) several years ago. Yes, with instruction, I found it easier to land the plane than in Microsoft's Flight Simulator (http://boston.conman.org/2007/12/28.2 http://boston.conman.org/2007/12/28.2).
