One more question to really fuel the fire: If, for some reason that I couldn't possibly fathom, I had to fly a real plane and make an ILS approach, could it be done by a "wannabe" simmer?
It's that old disaster movie scenario. Which film was it where they turned on the autopilot and an inflatable pilot popped up?
I'm sure this question pops into many people's heads at some time or other on boring and uncomfortable longhaul flights. I think my reaction if I discovered that the people at the pointy end were incapacitated would be, "We're shafted then." You'd have to have a go at it though, wouldn't you? It's got to be better than just sitting there and accepting the inevitable. There's always a chance you might end up back on the ground in one piece. Who know, they might even be able to use the plane again one day...
