But hey, I'll take some stabs at that question: He probably can land the aircraft. Probably can taxi the aircraft. Probably can make simple radio calls. Probably knows how to read a checklist. Probably knows how to fly an instrument approach, or punch an approach in the FMS, probably knows how to backup a pilot to ensure proper flaps and gear are down, in addition to being cleared for landing. Obviouisly nothing of use here.
But hey...there's always a chance he's an overeager psycho ready to wrestle the controls from you.
