Don't think so, unless you lied to me when we crossed paths in Miami a few years ago.
Any reference to the skills of Sully and the outcome for VH-EDC are somewhat fanciful considering (directly from the ATSB Report):-
- The inability of the handling pilot (co-pilot) to obtain optimum asymmetric performance from the aircraft was the culminating factor in a combination of local and organisational factors that led to this accident.
- lack of skill of the handling pilot.
- poor operational procedures
- The co-pilot advised that he was unable to remember his activities during the 72 hours prior to the accident
- The co-pilot’s licence was endorsed with a DC-3 type rating, following his representation to the CAA that he had completed DC-3 pilot in command endorsement training. The investigation found no evidence to establish that the co-pilot had actually completed the required training.
- The flying experience recorded in the co-pilot’s logbook, which was used to substantiate his application for a DC-3 type rating, was insufficient to qualify the pilot for the rating.
- The co-pilot claimed to have completed DC-3 endorsement training in the USA. The FAA advised that the co-pilot had not applied for, nor had he been granted, a DC-3 type endorsement by the FAA.
- This was evidenced by the co-pilot in this accident holding an aircraft rating, the qualifications for which could not be substantiated, and there being no record of the operator having ensured that flight crew members had completed the check and training required by the CAA standards.
- In summary, the evidence suggests that the three significant factors leading to degraded aircraft performance were: the aircraft’s gross weight, the crew’s lack of understanding of the single-engine performance capability when operating at high gross weight, and the effect of the co- pilot’s handling on the aircraft’s climb capability.
I seriously doubt Sully has any of thes attributes - but you wouldn't lie, would you? (ROFL).
