United 93 question

[airplane wizard]

Hi folks,

I understand that there was a GA pilot among the passengers on UAL 93. If the passengers had been able to regain control of the aircraft, would he have been able to land a B-757 in one piece? I know that the flight manuals usually have a chart of pitch attitudes and power settings for the different phases of flight. That is the first thing that I would have looked for if I was in that situation. What are your thoughts?

Chances are extremely slim. If he had radio contact with someone who could walk him thru step by step for the procedures to program an approach and autoland, MAYBE. Trying to hand fly it with no jet experience probably wouldn't work so well.

Could have been instructed to do an autoland.
