Well you'd probably have a better shot at landing than some person off the street.

I wouldn't count on it, way too many variables in the real world.

know the emergency transponder sqawk (IIRC 7700) and emergency radio channel (can't remember 121.??? or ???.???) and how to set transponder/radio, get a hold of someone in another plane or tower that can help, talk you down to landing.

or go take real life flying lessons. it just might save your life.

with all my training, I could have a fair shot at landing one with a burning engine, no rudder, 1/2 an elevator and a 1/4 wing gone... :rofl and a pilot wound!

You stole my thunder!

That was my answer......if AH prepares you for real life, I will walk away from about 10,000,000 crashes before I actually die.

1)in emergency, squawk 7700 on the transponder, and tune one of the radios to 121.50, and declare emergency. landing is the absolute hardest part of flying....its actually the most fun/satisfying too!!

or go take real life flying lessons. it just might save your life.

you probably wouldn't be able to land it because of here..but you'd have more of an idea of whats going on than someone who's never flow a flight sim......but......even just a 5kt crosswind is hard for a lot of lisenced private pilots....read the ntsb reports.
then go take lessons.....it is FUN:aok

a/h compared to real pilot flying, is prolley about the same as excitbike, and professional motocross. And winning on excitebike, never got me any oversll wins, no matter how much i sat on my butt  and pushed buttons.(pro wins). I doubt it. But then again, ya better try and land, it beats the alternative.:D
