Ever had a really bad day?

Well how about this 737 Captain's (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/62830591/737%20Single%20PilotTVD831513%20copy%202.mp4)? Engine Fire at V1, Autopilot INOP, Runaway Stab Trim, A System Hyd Pressure goes to zero, and . . . he's the only guy in the cockpit.

The link is an 11 minute MP4 video of this actual flight. You will need a browser that can play it. I know that Firefox won't, and Google Chrome can. I do not know about others. It is definitely worth a look

He is my pilot!
How many out there would fail?

pretty standard mucking about sim session to be honest.

Most of the sim engineers would manage that while drinking a cup of coffee.

Actually, this video was made before there were 737 Sims in use, or any 737's yet delivered to airlines. It was done in one of the original 737 certification flight test aircraft. At the time there was a debate regarding certain US carriers needing a third pilot assigned to the jump seat position. The pilot in the video would be about 90 years old if he was still with us. What a different world today with two seats in the big ones!

Excellent video and well worth a watch. Do you have any more that you could put online?
