Came across this of a Lufthansa A380 doing a landing at SFO, its long but it shows the complete automation of the landing.

So, if a guy hand flying the approach is "complete automation, what do you consider "hand flying?" Does that mean the guy is getting out of the seat, climbing out onto the wing and manipulating the flight controls by hand?

Well sitting the jump seat on many 707/135, B-52 landings that looked effortless compared to the stick inputs on approach on a old Boeing.

Found: CVR leak!

Tower: "Asiana 214, you appear short on your approach."

Pilot Bang Ding Ow: "Confirm wi tu lo?"

Tower: "That's affirmative.

Unknown voice in cockpit: "Wi Tu Lo, pilot just say you name."

Wi Tu Lo (sipping coffee): "Why, sum ting wong?"

Sum Ting Wong: "What you want."

Wi Tu Lo: "I ask, sum ting wong?"

Sum Ting Wong: "Ask me what?"

Pilot (shouting): "Sum ting wong. Anyone know why wi tu lo?"

Sum Ting Wong: "Why Wi Tu Lo what?"

Pilot: "Why wi tu lo on approach?"

Sum Ting Wong: "Wi Tu Lo not on approach, he on coffee break."

Pilot (frustrated): "I repeat: sum ting wong. Why wi tu lo?"

Sum Ting Wong: "Ho lee fuk, I confused."

Ho Lee Fuk: "Me too."

Pilot: "Listen up. Sum ting wong is wi tu lo!"

Sum Ting Wong: "I not Wi Tu Lo!"

Pilot (shouting): "I know who you are... Ho lee fuk, look at the altimeter!"

Wi Tu Lo: "Not Ho Lee Fuk either, but Wi Tu Lo."

Pilot: "I know wi tu lo!"

Wi Tu Lo: "I know him tu, he is me."

Pilot (exasperated): "Ho lee fuk! Sum ting wong, wi tu lo, and I'm surrounded by incompetents!"

Wi Tu Lo whispering to Sum Ting Wong: "Well, he no Jackie Chan himself."

Pilot (shouting): "Ho lee fuk, we're about to crash. Notify the tower."

Ho Lee Fuk: "Will do. You save plane and our names become famous as Captain Sully's."

ETA: Boeing trying to sell S. Korea the C-17 yet? Bang. Ding. Ow...

Just waiting for the first person to get officially assigned one of those four names as his/her callsign.

Got this the other day. Interesting read, although I find myself wondering why anyone would retire as a UAL 747 captain then take another job.

Already been posted twice before in this thread, Bergman.

Those are actually not a bad idea. I wonder if they could get those at Dover. And then install some that say " NOT MCDILL" at that Peter O. Knight place.

Why they are at it, they should flash "lower gear handle you dumbass", unless there is an engineer on board of course :)

WxMan

they could probably use the nav lights off the -130 still at Shank...
