Bomber pilot helped land airliner after captain fell ill

Since the decision led to a successful outcome, I think she would do it again.
As they say in the NFL, "Never take points off the board."

Just like an unstable approach that ends in a landing you walked away from, the result doesn't mean the decision was good. If she did what they train to do, ok. But if the training says land single pilot, then land single pilot.

I've had training from 3 US airlines: my training for single pilot? Nothing.No mention of it whatsoever.

We do it, for incapacitated pilot.

 

[Dan Roman]

We do it too.

So remind me again, How hard is it to work the radios, flaps and gear?

 

[wms]

Easy enough to do it yourself without thinking About it.

We do it at 50 feet every PC. On a hand flown CATIII HUD approach the F.O. calls minimums, if the Captain doesn't respond "landing" or "going around" the F.O. takes the aircraft and does a single pilot go around.
