If he wasn't a good pilot, he couldn't have ditched it so everyone could be saved.
"Other pilots wouldn't have known what to do but he landed the aircraft so that everyone could get out safely."
The crash happened after the right engine of the plane failed, and Capt Mansell made a mayday call before ditching, he added.
Hmmm.
Only a good pilot would know what to do when an engine fails in a twin?
