I'll agree, that plane wasn't some multi-engine commercial aircraft. (A totally different situation.) No insults intended but, been there, done that. We both know it's not all that hard. While not technically qualified, I have flown several from take off to landing and never had more than the owner/pilot advise me, he never touched the controls. Not to suggest I'm a qualified but.................

Kind of angled from the main topic but; I remember a neat movie I watched back in 1972...."Family Flight" about a family on a private plane that lands in the desert due to problems with the airplane- they are finally ready to take off and the father spins the prop (battery had died) and gets cut by the prop- the son then flys the plane and they end up landing on an aircraft carrier at sea. Rod Taylor played the father.

As he was making his final approach, he was heard saying "Hold my beer and watch this", .
