How many times a year do ATC personnel or any personnel on the ground outside of a simulator practice talking a flight attendant alone inside a simulator (Boeing or Airbus and other common types) through the actions necessary to complete a successful auto or manual landing?
The results of anyone even with a PPL or CPL with no previous training on the type or any experience of auto land I think would be very interesting.
With 24 years of auto land experience as a pilot I think I would make a complete
mess of remotely voice instructing even a PPL or a CPL pilot unfamiliar with a
L1011 or B767 on how to achieve an auto land after finding themselves alone in a quiet dark cockpit.
