Pilot's artificial arm 'became detached while landing plane'

[Pace]

This has hit the media for the simple reason that it is different a one armed pilot flying PAX on a commercial basis.

Yes of course able bodied pilots screw up landings but the media attraction was that a pilot with a false arm had that arm detach in the course of landing! Quite a story line.

Of course he should continue flying and as a pilot I support pilots with medical conditions where possible being allowed to continue with their profession
But this is about lessons to be learned from the incident not stopping the poor guy from flying

One which is not unique to this incident and includes able bodied pilots is that if you are not happy with an approach landing then go around and sort the problem in the air and make another approach and landing

The other which maybe unique to this incident is that the FO should be briefed and a plan or course of action should be pre established so that in the unlikely event of this ever happening again each crew member knows their role in the situation and acts accordingly
