A student pilot successfully landed a plane by herself after her instructor jumped to his death mid-flight.
She said her instructor told her “You know what to do” before leaping from the aircraft.
The article shows a picture of the instructor next to an image of a small single engine cessna.
Comment reads: You could literally land a plane by yourself after your instructor jumps to his death mid-flight and they’d still use a picture of a man.
More that she was a student who landed a plane after her instructor literally jumped out and died. I get that landing a little cesna like that isn’t hard, but it’s a hell of an stressfull circumstance.
Landing a plane while in shock is no simple feat
Doing anything while in shock is no simple feat. It’s almost as if militaries have entire multi-week to multi-month long training procedures to work around that … that are still largely ineffective on first contact.
