You might want to thank the co-piolet he's was a Capitan also, but was flying co-piolet that day. He always jokes you know he wasn't the only person in the cockpit.

[@RyanBomar]

At the time of the incident, Capt Sully had 19,663 total flight hours. First Officer Skiles was also a highly experienced pilot with 15,643 total hours. The chance of two pilots with a combined total of over 35,300+ total hours is unheard of. For reference, the FAA only requires 1,500 hours to fly as an airline pilot. They had the crew they needed, along with a veteran Flight Attendant crew to ensure the safety of those onboard, along with potential victims on the ground, if they had tried to make a runway.

@@jamesriggs6210that is the sad part in these type of situations. One person ends up getting the spotlight. Even in a death situation. One person involved that has some fame that’s all that is recognized. Not the other people who no one knew. It’s sad. As a pilot especially I know how much of a team effort this was. Those airplanes are not certified for single pilot operation. So without the co pilot, outside of an emergency or incapacitation, that plane is not flying. The term called CRM. Cockpit resource management. We use all resources available during an emergency. Atc included also. But our order of operations is any case is always aviate, navigate, communicate. In that order and sully did just that. Sometimes atc albeit with good intentions can be a distraction during an emergency and sometimes cause more harm than good.

[@Dojo-v6m]

I was at the old museum right before they closed to relocate and I asked 3 museum volunteers that were talking(all retired pilots) how many people could have landed that plane safely. They all agreed that most pilots could not have done it. I'm still not sure whether that's true but it gave me a new respect for what he did that day

[@joek511]

My life was spent in the Aviation world, military and civilian. Captain Sully was an Air-force Pilot, well trained in the art of air breaking. What's that? In short the ability to maintain flight speeds for maximum lift, particularly on approaches. I think most AF pilots could have landed the plane with identical circumstances. Just don't ask a Navy pilot to do it

[@DigitalDiabloUK]

I think they said on Aircrash Investigation that the NTSB got pilots in a simulator to attempt to make it to an airfield, and it was essentially impossible. And of course, they don't practice/simulate water landings.

[@gtm624]

@@joek511navy could Probably put it down in a swimming pool. Lol. You kidding? Can you elaborate as to why your bias against navy pilots? For the record I’m not a navy pilot lol. Nor ever served. I am a pilot tho. There’s some incredible pilots in the navy and what they do is insane landing on those carriers.

[@gtm624]

Honestly, now, that is sadly a fairly accurate statement. The pilot shortage that the media has spoke about is actually more of an experience shortage. We have “pilots”, just a bunch of children of the magenta line. More operators than pilots. Sully was a legend. There’s still a lot of others like him out there flying but not like their used to be. Honestly if it wasn’t for all the military pilots typically taking civilian pilot jobs afterwards, I think the industry would be screwed. I refused to go to a part 141 flight school. Which is a certain format and these schools are pilot mills. Everything is about what you need to know to get to the airlines. We are loosing the grass roots which is why the comment made to you is accurate. My flight school is the best. Old school starts at the grass roots first. No tech in beginning. In fact until I knew configurations of the airplane based off attitude and engine rpm he kept the gauges covered. Airspeed included. These grass roots “stick and rudder” “pilotage and dead reckoning” are going by the wayside. It’s sad. So at 40 I decided to change careers leave my business and become the change I want to see in aviation. Find a school that will make me a good pilot. Everyone I had asked said the school is tough but you will be a good pilot when you leave. We have lost good leadership. Too many followers and poor leadership. Integrity has gone by the wayside and ignorant victims are dying in their airplane every month because of it.

The Lady was indeed a 222, was of the very first of that model, modded for the show. Interestingly enough, one of the pilots who test-flew it after the modifications were added, commented that she actually flew BETTER with the heavy cosmetics installed. Sad that she was crashed in Europe, shortly after she began her post-Airwolf career. The last I checked, we still have an allegedly-Production but not airworthy Airwolf here in Los Angeles, deteriorating outside in the elements. If I had the money, I’d restore it and preserve it indoors.

He, and his fellow pilots and engineer, successfully landed the aircraft with no forward visibility as the ash has scoured the cockpit glass and made it opaque.
