CAN I get Tom Scott to LAND a B737MAX, ALONE?!

submitted by BSR

2 years 1 month 1 week ago

In this video I will put to test a theory I have had for a long time. I will check if it would be possible for me to talk down a passenger, using radio, who was all alone in the cockpit.
And the passenger who will get this questionable honour, is Tom Scott!

We will be using a full flight simulator and I will be in a briefing room in a different part of the building with only a radar-screen and a radio to help me communicate with Tom as he tries to fly.

We will try BOTH what would happen if Tom had to hand-fly the Boeing 737, following my instructions and later I will also demonstrate what I would REALLY do, which is to help him down using all of the awesome features of the AutoPilot.

Two of my favorite YouTubers get together to land a Boeing 737 simulator.

That was cool, partly because if the resolution was (far far) better I could have seen my house 😁

I can confirm that the amount of cloud cover is very accurate.

Moving this video to BSR's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

I was going to say the same thing if I had posted this lol

In the next simulation the door plug needs to self eject and the front landing gear needs to fall off like has happened to 737s this month.
Boeing is screwed. They designed their inspection system so they can remove the door plug, do required repair work, and reinstall it but call that “opening the door” so there’s not an inspection afterwards, which happened on the plane that lost its door.
Worse, if the photos Boeing gave the press are correct, they are using jam nuts (two thin nuts that loosely “jam” together under pressure only if properly installed) instead of castle nuts and cotter pins (that cannot unscrew) on bolts that will fall out if they’re not secured. That is a horrible design flaw if accurately reported, and explains all the loose bolts found on other planes!
American and Alaska are already talking to airbus and considering cancelling their orders from Boeing completely.
