RE: Captain Sullenberger Flight Simulation

Thanks Brad,

Awesome video.

There is another there that shows how they lifted it out. Pretty good... Time accelerated.

I'd bet we've all recreated it in FSX, right? I understand not taking the risk in the real world, but in FSx most can make it to laguardia and that airfield teterboro.

Even as a tube driver: Nope. Too little possibilities for situational awareness.

Perfect watering though. Slow enough, tail first, slowed down a bit, settled on the nacelles, prevented the aircraft from breaking apart while remaining calm and professional during the whole emergency. Book-like.


I'm also surprised how fairly successful controlled waterings are:
