Title: Flight Simulator Pilots
Post by: NoiZ on February 04, 2012, 12:18:36

Let me just quick explain what you will see in the video cause it is from a german TV station so maybe not all will understand the conversations. Bernd Mast is 55 years old and from Zwickau, he is flying on flight sim bud like he self said he isnt a very good pilot. He asked the TV show called NANO if it would be possible to land a aircraft in case both pilots where been not able to do it.
So they went to the Airport and talked to several persons to get their opinion about it. The Chief of ATC said with no basic experience it is almost impossible to land by hand and maybe when the person has a private license it would be possible or maybe when it is a Flight Sim Pilot. Then they asked a real pilot and he said on Visiual landing he thinks a person without experience has no chance to land the plane safe, so they went to the real Simluator to see.....

i was just thinking that he isnt a very good one as he pointed out, now we know there are a lot of people who are realy PRO and imagine what they are able to do then!?
And maybe in real life they are bus driver or milk man.....

Mind you, landing a sim is much easier, I can attest to that after doing two Dash-7 sim rides.  On another note, what's with all that glass?  Where are the steam gauges?
