vgbaron Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 2. "RE: Crew incapacitation" 10-25-03, 19:47z  Hi Mark - Ben told me you were in Denver so I didn't expect a quick response. Can't wait to read your article. Thanx for the answer. It's pretty much what I expected. If the unthinkable DID happen and there were no dead heading crew, my thoughts were that the PPL would at least be able to find some of the primary flight instruments and having contacted someone on the ground ( Charleton Heston probably <g>) might be able to respond a little quicker than a "civilian". Without the autoland, I would doubt that 1 in 100 ppl's would be able to make a safe landing. Well, let's hope it stays in the realm of fantasy "what-if's". My favorite is still the scene where they lowered Charleton Heston on a tether into the cracked windscreen of a 747 in one of the Airport movies. Now that's one I'd really like to see! Sorry you couldn't make it to Miramar - you missed a lot of fun!
