Mohammed Hijab – What if the Pilots Die and you have to Land the Plane
AI: Summary ©
A pilot named Azmi talks to a high rank pilot named Azmi about a worst case scenario where a plane dies and the pilot and copilot die. Azmi explains that the pilot and copilot have to watch videos on how to land a plane and the ATC will guide them. They discuss how to get to Azmi's position and the importance of putting numbers into a machine. The speaker emphasizes the importance of training and experience to control the aircraft, putting new numbers in if the aircraft is preplanned, and saving lives by putting two man jobs in.

Oh, sorry. Azmi. Azmi. Yeah. Pilot Azmi. Who
are you pilot Azmi? Yeah. That's me. Captain.
Captain. Captain Azmi. Yeah.
So I'm here with captain Azmi, a pilot,
a high rank pilot.
I was gonna say to you that I
was gonna ask you a question. But before
I do so, let me explain my mental
reasoning.
So I always think about the worst case
scenario. Yeah. In life and in general, I
I just like to do that. So 1
time I thought about, what if I'm on
a plane? Okay. Okay.
What if I'm on a plane
and the pilot dies? Okay. If he has
a heart attack. Alright. Now imagine the pilot
dies and then also the copilot dies. Okay.
He has also a heart attack or someone
hits him or hurts him or kills him.
So someone's gonna have to land a plane,
right? Yes.
So so I thought to myself, I have
to I have to watch videos. Okay. I
started watching videos on on YouTube
as to how to land.
Yeah.
There's a guy that's explaining it in like
great detail. Okay. And he's putting numbers into
a system, and he's showing you how to,
do a transmission.
Okay. Okay. So explain to the ATC. Yeah.
Okay. Yes. He said the first thing you
gotta do is speak to the ATC. Okay.
And he said this he showed you how
to do it. It was so complicated. Okay.
So you put numbers in the thing and
like, what the *? Can you simplify for
me
if this happened, this worst case scenario happened?
Yeah.
What
a layman
can do
to land a plane or to safely land
a plane if everyone everyone buys?
Well, first, I would suggest to find another
pilot on board.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. That's awesome. For
someone who's been training. Yes. Yes. Fine. Yeah.
Once that is done,
I think the ATC will play a very
key role there. Okay. Yeah. Because they're gonna
guide you. Yes. ATC, what is it? What's
the abbreviation?
Address to control. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So
the the other 1 is gonna guide you.
It's gonna say what to do. How'd you
get through to the ATC?
It's it's basically just a headset. And then
and and there's a and there's a microphone
that you can call from. Yeah. Yeah. So,
basically, it's it's straightforward.
Yeah. Okay. So how how is it? So
you got the cockpit here and stuff like
where do I go to to speak to
the ATC?
It depends on the aircraft itself. Okay. So
a 747. Right? Okay. Generally, it's in front
in front of you. Okay. Does it say
ATC on it? No. It says mic. It
says mic on it. So you press the
mic. Yeah. It goes on. Yeah. And then
you talk to the ATC. Now what that's
what I say to them. Everyone's everyone's, you
know, dead or
And then they find out it's
you. Well, it's,
it's a very difficult scenario to be. It
is. Yeah. Yeah. I'm sorry. Especially for a
layman. Yes. Because knowing what to press, where
where to I'm trying to get to your
position
in a few minutes. I'm trying to be
a pilot.
It's like doing open heart surgery.
Alright. Interesting. Yeah. But I what I can
say is that the ATC will pay key
role. Yeah. They will actually specify to you
where where the landing gear is, where the
flaps is, what what, you know, what button
to push, what what what to do, what
not to do. But it's all about putting
numbers into a machine, isn't it?
It? And other things as well. Yeah. Alright.
And other things.
I'm just trying to simplify it. You got
to put like that when you're landing, it's
like numbers, right? Yes. Do you memorize those
numbers? How do you how do you do
it? No. No. No. It's actually given to
us. Right before you start. Okay. So we
got a specific flight plan that goes from
a to b. Yes. And then we punch
in all those numbers in. At what point
do you start punching in those numbers? Like,
20 minutes before landing or when? No. At
start of the flight when we get in.
Oh, for the landing now? For the landing
now, it's basically computerized from what you planned
earlier. Yeah. Yeah. So it's already planned, pre
planned. But the thing is, what gets tricky
is when the ATC asks you to do
other things. And now you're punching in new
stuff in. So when you're landing specifically, do
you need to put new numbers in?
Yes and no. Yeah. Yeah. If it's already
pre planned and they only given you a
certain route Yeah. Then you don't have to
do anything. Really? Yeah. But if it's But
when you're landing the plane, do you not
control it yourself? Meaning to fly fly it
down itself. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. You have
to. You have to. So that's the hardest
bit. Right? Yeah. That that's the 1 that
takes all the training, the skills, the experience.
So how long can I do this in
just a few minutes? I don't know. I
don't know.
I don't know. That's tough. Yes. Yeah. It's
a tough 1, isn't it? Well, the ATC
will tell me. They can guide you, but
to actually do it, that's another thing. What
do I do?
Well, Well, you have the control column in
front of you. Okay. It's like it's like
playing a game. Okay. Let put it yeah.
Put it simply. Go on. Okay. It's like
playing a game. Late game. Yes. Yeah. So
you push forward, the nose goes down. Yes.
You pull it back, the nose goes up.
Okay. And then left and right. Sure. What
about the wheels? How'd you get them down?
Is there a button to press? Yes. There's
a specific button that puts the wheels down.
Oh, so then I just put it down?
Yes. And then and then you're gonna slow
the aircraft. Now you're slowing the aircraft. You're
gonna put the flaps in. Yes. So that's
another lever. Yeah. Yeah. So you you're dealing
with this 1 or this 1?
Both.
Okay. Okay. So now that's where the skill
comes in. Okay. So now you're holding this,
and you're holding the plus levers to slow
down the aircraft. Yep. And then you're putting
down the flaps and the landing gear as
well. Did I did I lose you somewhere?
Do you know what I would do in
this situation?
I'm listening to what you're saying, but I
would say, listen. We need a this is
a 2 man job. It it is? It's
a 2 man job. Yeah? Yes. 3 is
too many. Yeah?
Normally, it's a 2 man job. Yeah. I'd
say, listen. Let's get someone who's most confident
in doing. I'll bring them in. Give them
2 tasks. I get 2 tasks.
He's responsible for pulling this thing. I'm responsible
for pushing this thing. Correct. Something like that
would be good. Yeah? Yes. Because you need
you need someone to help you out. Yeah.
So, like, I have half the task. You
have half the task. ATC. I'll tell them,
listen, ATC, we've got 2 people here. Yeah?
Yes.
And then I'm going to take task 1
and 2. He's going to task 3 and
4. Yes. So this could save someone's life,
maybe. 1 day. It could. It could. This
video here this video here could save somebody's
life.
Alright then.
With that, I'll conclude. Assalamu alaikum.
