Even after years of airline flying, with a sick or incapacitated passenger and no information to go on, it would not be a simple decision (at least for me) to choose the perfect airport, depending on aircraft weight, approach speed/landing distance required-requiring almost no flare, WHAM! max braking...high terrain, runway and navaid situations could influence the outcome. Or, whether to just land at the nearest airport; is an emergency clinic/hospital nearby...does anyone else onboard have his/her medication...blood pressure/breathing ok?.
The fact that the young brand-new pilot got the very different plane quickly on the ground while controlling something faster with more (and two of them) engine control levers, was quite a feat.
Not to mention all of this right after regaining control of an airplane, reportedly at a very low altitude.
It was enough for me to figure intercept angles/altitudes/energy levels on "Microsoft, Combat Flight Simulator 2, WW2 Pacific Theater".
