It just sounds modest, The work load in a civilian airliner cockpit in congested civilian airspace can get extremely high. A single pilot can get task saturated. They are Captain and First Officer, but they fly as Pilot Flying (PF) and Pilot Monitoring (PM). They will usually switch tasks on each leg of the their route. He stepped in as PM and handled all the routine radio calls, and confirming the pilots actions on the check list. It was his knowledge of radio, air traffic control, and cockpit procedure that really helped out

@panda4247 3 жыл бұрын

@@alanmacification exactly. It was a teamwork. He knew the First Officer had more experience with that particular craft, so no need to play a hero. Be a part of the team, and do the tasks assigned to you. That is the only way to success in these situations. Or rather, doing the opposite and arguing is most certainly a way to doom.

One of the two guys I knew took the left seat the other one the jump seat and flew back safely to the departure airport and him too handled the radio and the check lists...being a pilot myself yes it does help a lot to give a hand even if you are not type rated as you are already familiar with all the basics of flying an airplane and working as a cockpit team. But for those who are not familiar with it we do train in the simulators for me twice a year and during the training they might surprise us with a pilot incapacitation where you have to come back and land with some failure on top of it...just to make it not that easy of course !

The most important part is that he flew multi-crew aircraft. He totally understood the role of backing up the pilot flying the aircraft. He knew how to talk to Air Trafic Control, and he could find the checklist book, the right checklist, and knew how to use it and properly communicate to the pilot for each step to be accomplished, and finished. There is a reason that the actual base procedures and roles are identical in military aviation and commercial aviation. All that goes away with a single pilot aircraft though.... Then one person has to do it all and its different procedures.

I have known a few USAF pilots,they are the coolest cucumbers you will ever meet. I do not care what.plane they flew they are some of the best trained pilots in the world and handle pressure like no one else. If needed he could have.put that plane down safely,maybe not by all the usual steps but he could have landed it no doubt in my mind had he been needed to land it. Those folks think and act different than normal civilians. No disrespect to other branches of US MILITARY I bet navy marine or whatever pilot could do what has to be done.

He is indeed a hero although he'll never believe himself to be (true heroes never, or rarely ever, consider themselves to be a hero). A hero is simply someone who does what is necessary because to do anything else is unthinkable. My brother saved a person's life once. He was scared out of his skull that the person was going to die before medical help arrived. He's a hero and actually realizes it, but he never brags about it. He did what had to be done because he couldn't have lived with himself otherwise.

God bless your brother, can you please elaborate more on how he helped him, is he a doctor?

@kellyrayburn4093 3 жыл бұрын

@@SustainaBIT He was in college and had just stepped out of a restaurant from having dinner when he heard the screech of tires and a crash. Someone had been thrown clear of one of the cars and this person was bleeding out. My bro got the loss of blood under control and stopped the bleeding. Could have just used a tourniquet, but at the time he was afraid of that causing the guy to lose his arm. Yeah, I know, and so does he, now, that losing an arm is better than losing your life. But in the heat of the moment... He said he stuck his fingers in the wound and finally (couldn't have taken more than seconds though it probably felt like hours) found the artery or vein that was bleeding and got it stopped. He said he was never so glad when the paramedics arrived. He said he had nightmares about it for two weeks and still has them occasionally.

Yes, respect to your brother. I’ve been in a similar situation and I was inwardly terrified that the guy I was helping would die before professional medical help arrived. In my case it was a road traffic accident and the guy in the driver seat of one car had serious injuries and all I had on me was the first aid kid in my car. But he lived, even if he had to spend months recovering.

@larrylehman751 3 жыл бұрын

That was a great interview the substitute pilot acted as an assistant the first officer ran the show sounds like a smooth transition I am ok with it they have several checklists the pilots have to accomplish each flight and can you imagine how many times they have to change frequencies. This is a very rare occurrence but a military guy came through
