Cockpit controls aren't really that confusing. They're easy to understand once you know that each engine has its own instruments. That's what adds most of the apparent complexity to passenger jets. It's just the same thing over and over, like a mixer board. Sure, some mixers have 24 channels or more, but it's just the same ten or twelve controls repeated over and over. Also, passenger jets have a lot of controls for accessories. For that matter, so does a bus.
Everyone of them!!!! The instruments are essentially the same only imposed on a mult function display today. And almost every current airline pilot started on an Analog 1970s era Cessna then transitioned to another old twin for me a Barron then an analog Beech 1900c. So as your original question, any current Airline Pilot could fly these older airplanes. Btw this was scene was stitched together using multiple instrument panels of various different aircraft and other things LOL but the aircraft cockpit used in the movie was actually a Convair 880 although the exterior shots were of a Boeing 707 for some reason they referred to it as a 767 which is a twin engine airliner coincidentally what I fly for a Amerijet International.
Depends. Analog means different things. An original 707 with a basic 6 pack? Not a chance. One of this era with things like a flight director.. horizontal situation indicator, radio magnetic indicator, and probably a radar you can paint terrain with and radar altimeter plus a three axis autopilot with heading, nav, approach, altitude hold, and climb and descent modes…. probably.
The funniest thing is that this part of the movie is *not* exaggerated. *That is a real, unmodified Boeing 707 flight deck.*

@@johnsambo9379 Thank you. I just looked at some photos of the 880 instrument panel and yes, the movie one is unmodified. Crazy.
Surely you can't be serious!!!
@@Mrs.Doubtfire007He is serious, and don't call him Shirley.
Basically every student pilot during their first demo flight.
Not my case.
It's an entirely different type of flying... altogether.
*All together* It's an entirely different kind of flying.
It took me *way* longer than it should have to get that.
I didn’t get it until now
Surely you can’t be serious!

Please, someone must do a 10 hours loop video focused at the instruments XDD

Bro, the film is a joke. The entire film is a joke.
0:11 One of the greatest lines in cinematic history!!
One of the best movies ever made, an absolute pleasure of Satire Parody Comedy.
How many actual airline pilots are still around that could fly one of these analog monsters?
Love it!! Analog monsters!! hahahahahahagsgafsfsfwha
Plenty in the USA, the real problem is finding a flight engineer.
Everyone of them!!!!

I just got an oscilloscope and yes mine dose have a lot of knobs and buttons.
