WBZ News reported that the pilot had just returned from a medical leave. The student pilot, with 50 hrs under her belt, didn't know how to lower the gear (obviously not a flight sim enthusiast) but able to make a belly landing.Alan

>Boy! I find that hard to believe but I guess one could have 50hrs in fixed gear without learning how RG works. What's really amazing is that she never learned to use the radio in 50 hours. Remind me NEVER to fly with her instructor.

STUDENT PILOT TAKES CONTROL: Things seemed a little off track for
student pilot Melanie Oswalt, 24, during a Cape Air flight from Martha's
Vineyard to Hyannis, Mass., last Friday night. Oswalt, one of four pax
on board, noticed the Cessna 402 was veering off course and the pilot
appeared disoriented. She climbed into the right seat and took over.
Oswalt, who is a security trainer for Cape Air, landed the plane safely,
albeit without landing gear extended, at Provincetown Airport.(Boy this offline reader is great!)
