Its not powered by hydraulics so it will have feedback. Some pilots of the raw feel but really just have to have a good firm grip. Watching where the wind blows helps to. From the video his airspeed is way to slow so he stalls and looses control.

[@bigblue207]

Learning how to trim is pretty much one of the highest priorities a pilot has. Trimming is just the word for adjusting this little control that helps keep the plane stable. Some planes have a wheel, some a little joystick thing. Flying should never really require muscle. It takes too much brainpower away from setting courses and doing some mental math or keeping radio calls straight. But as easy as it sounds it’s pretty difficult to learn how to trim right. And when you don’t trim at all you get what happened in the video. People perceive a left turn, so they bank right, but they overshoot it and then they try correcting by overcompensating left. And then that changes the aerodynamics and everything and soon you’re just flailing around when literally all you have to do is keep the controls still and slow everything down. Everything happens a million times faster in a plane and people make really dumb mistakes they wouldn’t otherwise because it’s sensory overload if it’s new. It’s a lot of information to look at and process. Which is why computers fly no problemo. It’s just one of those things your brain takes over and it wants to do something wrong and it takes a lot of familiarity to be able to say “no, I can’t fight it, I just gotta hold it still”. Kind of like hydroplaning in a car and keeping the wheels pointed forward.

That was the part of this story that just blew my mind. The man must have been struggling against some serious g-forces to make it into the pilot's seat, though to have quickly pulled back on the yoke he at least had a general idea about pitch control. Despite all my hours using Microsoft Flight Sim, I'd probably have failed to establish a radio link with ATC, so this guy overcame several critical and potentially deadly challenges in quick succession. Balls of steel to remain calm as well.

Depending on the simulator, The simulator can be a bit extra touchy and harder to control cause you can’t “feel” what’s happening to the plane. I found that When you’re up the sky, you can control it easier than in the simulator. I hated the simulator when I was in flight school 😅

[@jackraylongiii9663]

First off, the reporter was not taking it very serious at all in the simulator. I'm sure that he was doing it for dramatic effect because it is in no way hard, in the sim or real life, to get a feel for it just after a few mins to at least be able to keep the wings level, make basic turns, climb and descend. My 10 year old hopped on to one of the Redbird sims at my flight school and with no experience could figure it out pretty easily especially if someone like ATC is talking to him explaining stuff as they went. He wasn't listening to the instructor at all really. He would listen a lot more if it was a real situation. That all being said though the craziest thing in this video is , as a pilot myself, seeing the amount and size of those birds flying all around the whole airfield is quite alarming lol. I wonder how many bird strikes they get monthly and how often! Great job to Darren being able to keep his nerves in check enough to be able to listen well enough to get him and the instructor safely onto the ground! Good job as well to everyone else involved from ATC to the ground response crews!

@@riverbankfisher I think it was the feedback from the controls, their high sensitivity, the sense of motion, ect. While in flight, my instructor only took controls once to demonstrate a stall recovery. Everything else was just like the simulations.

He obviously read something about airplanes because in his interview with Today he knew about an airplane stalling, and he knew that if an airplane flies to fast that it could break apart. That isn't common knowledge it requires research. That also isn't "zero experience". I also find it interesting that he was able to move forward into the cockpit when the plane was descending at a rate of over 6375 ft per minute....which is an unbelievable rate of descent.

Who finds his voice soothing?

THAT LANDING LOL

[@wolfaja755]

If you’re interested in flying you have got to understand how much input is too much and how much is just enough. Most people fly small planes with two fingers on the yoke and a hand on the throttle. If you fly with small inputs it gets a lot easier and you have a lot more control than rotating fully.

I love this guy

[@blaiseplayz-3409]

I love how he tried to say “you did ok” but failed 😂

Its a thing with flight instructors. They always try to make you feel like your doing a great job no matter what.

[@averageboeing737]

Now that's called a butter landing 😂

I landed fine on my first flight with an instructor next to me at 17. A little stressful, however I did it on my own with verbal help. Soloed after 8 hours. Similar experience for my uncle and son. Stop making a big deal about this.

The thing is the guy who flew the plane was flying a Cessna Caravan which is a lot easier to fly than most flight simulators. Also his background is Interior Design, so they tend to pay a lot of attention to detail and use a lot of 3D modeling tools programs, which probably helped him understand X-Y Axis. Also the ,

“Oh I think I missed the run way” NO WAY REALLY

Keep your eye on the screen. The blue and orange lines shows you if the plane is leveled. You can also use it as indicator if your going down. Flying a plane isnt like driving, use the pedals to move left and right. Steering the yoke is for tilting. Thank god for GTA 5 flight school.
