@LostUpNorth715 I thought the same thing, but the controller can tell that the passenger has basic experience. He's plenty busy on the approach freq, hewas doing well enough that they didn't take over the frequency. The controllers are entrenched in procedural routine when it comes to radio traffic, so he called out the ground comm. Funny.

@PlebScrubber Hehe, I see your point. Commercial travelisn't what it used to be pre-9/11. I used to chat with the crew and could join in the jump seat, or by the engineer's panel. It's different with a KingAir or similar twin, you're all family in the small cabin. Seriously though, if you contact a local school, you can schedule a flight with the instructor, or go flying with a local club. It's an E-ticket ride!

@campy9sp as if his going to let you land it, the fact that they usually lock themself away from the passangers tells me his no friend of mine
no trust

@PlebScrubber Seriously? You could just ask him. I fear for humanity.

@slowpoke96Z28 i would strike the pilot in the head if it means i get to fly a plane and land it, that would be so much fun...
especially the part where i get to strike the pilot in the head :)

Don't mistake this pilots accent for ignorance. It seems that many folks believe that if you talk like this "You Might Be A Redneck".
Consider this: This passenger/pilot owns this aircraft, So he's probably an educated intelligent person. A King Air 200 costs from 1 million to about 1.5 million USED! So he is probably not a stupid redneck.
However, I do like his accent.

That is one cool customer. What I really can't believe is that as the guy is coming in to land a plane he's never flown before in what amounts to an emergency landing the last thing we hear is ATC telling him to change frequencies like it's just a standard incoming flight!!!! That's funny. This guy sure handles it like a pro. Good job whoever the pilot was!
