"Veteran ERAU pilot" embarrasses herself onTV
 
https://news.erau.edu/headlines/erau...-on-abcs-2020/

Stick shaker at 0:49 with a possible secondary stall, GPWS "sink rate" at 1:49. Who decided to not only let her come play dress up and pretend to be an airline pilot in the sim, but then also actually air this display on national TV?

WOW. Idle at 100ft and the both hand on the yoke. And what's with pulling the spoiler handle on landing when they've already auto deployed?

What an embarrassing display...:rolleyes:

"aren't you glad you were wearing your seatbelt"

because i almost stalled... then almost stalled again!

Just another day driving the Sim.

All the more reason for the 1,500 hour rule.

Looks like a CRJ, if it's a 200 then idle at 100ft is actually fairly realistic depending on speed.

Putting both hands on the yoke though? Yeah....

Ya but she was photogenic, and she's perfect for their target audience (20/20). So it's all good.


At least they used a real sim -- not some overused generic, stock footage "cockpit" like "Air Disasters" uses.

For the wrong airplane though... I guess I just don't understand why they went to ERAU in the first place to watch a Cessna instructor play around in a CRJ sim when there's no shortage of 737 sims or pilots that are actually qualified to fly airliners.

A great display of what us RJ captains are dealing with these days. I wish I was kidding.
