Hey guys, I am not keen on restarting the arguing here, but for all of you airline pilots who are so keen on this being an impossibility for a PPL holder, here's some food for thought... I just found a vid of a PPL holder landing an EMB-190... it was combination of help from ground/ A/P and manual flying:
I suppose that some of you now will say that either the sim was "dumbed down" or perhaps the PPL holder was a much more experienced pilot, or something or other... please restrain yourself from all this guesswork. Sure, this might be fake, but maybe it's not.
Also spoke to another friend who said he landed perfectly in a 747 full motion sim during his MCC training without having any previous jet experience... although he did have some experience on King Airs... not sure exactly how much that could've helped.
