New Emergency

[nckheinrich]

Ok when I first thought of this idea it was in the new sometime last summer? But it had just happened where two pilots got injured during
flight. One flight was a boeing where the pilot had a heart attack and sadly died. The co pilot had to take over the plane and had some guy
with his pilots lisence work the radio. The 2nd case was a private single engine where again the pilot had a heart attack and the co-pilot
took over. I was thinking maybe your pilot gets injured and the co-pilot takes over.Thus making the controls respond slower.

I see where you are coming from.

I am not sure if the Co-pilot would necessarily be slower, because he is trained to fly the aircraft too, he might make a few mistakes because he is
under pressure, but I am not sure he would be slower.

Sounds almost like one that should have gone in the "fantasy failure" thread I started a while back. As above though, I doubt the co pilot
would be significantly worse anyway other than the added pressure of knowing his collegue was ill and he needed to get down to seek
help. Probably the same would actually apply to an ill copilot and just the captain to fly too.

PS> I've tried to scroll this post with my jotstick top hat switch - I must get out more.

Yea but seeing as how he would be down a pilot he would have double the work to do.

Let's see, I'm already acting as pilot, co-pilot, flight engineer, navigator and on vintage flights, radio operator. Now you suggest that FsP
come up with some new abstract problem to further increase my workload...

I'll pass, thanks.

Not really, just nobody backing him up! If push comes to shove it's PUFF checks, Power, Undercarriage, Flaps, Final!

You know a great failure to make?


The coffe maker should break, or The Toilets should overflow.

What about a passenger medical emergency? You have to land as soon as possible within a certain time limit. If the passenger dies
you get a penalty. If he/she lives you get a huge bonus.

The emergency vehicle sound could be used as you land.
