MOSCOW — A Russian passenger jet crash-landed into a cornfield shortly after takeoff from Moscow on Thursday, injuring 23 people, but remarkably, no one was killed, according to Russian media reports and the national aviation regulator Rosaviatsia.
Ural Airlines Flight 178 collided with a flock of gulls just after leaving Zhukovsky International Airport near Moscow, severely damaging the aircraft’s engines and forcing it to make the emergency landing less than a mile from the airport.
“Thanks to the professionalism of pilots and the crew, there were no serious injuries and damages among the passengers,” Russia’s Health Ministry said in a statement.
The airliner, an Airbus A321, had 226 passengers and seven crew members onboard and was bound for Simferopol in Crimea, Rosaviatsia said in a statement. An investigation into the incident has begun.

A 10 minute CBT is never as good as hands on training.
I get why companies are against it , but why would a pilot oppose such training ? It won’t be something you’re graded on or pass fail.
Sully is 100% qualified to talk about the needs of the industry , he’s been in the industry long enough (probably longer than you) and suffered one of the worst case scenarios ever presented to a pilot.

Also might consider the direction of the corn rows and whether we could land with the grain (pun intended). If you have time for that, which is doubtful.

As a side note, I’ve had pilots ask why I leave my shoulder belts on until at least 10,000’. It’s for stuff like this. The last thing I want to worry about during an emergency below 10,000’ is redoing my shoulder harnesses.
