In an Emergency Can Someone Inexperienced Land a Plane?
Many people would love to fly a plane, so this is undoubtedly the million-dollar question. The answer is that it depends on the aircraft – an amateur can land an airplane if it’s a modern plane. Modern airliners are primarily automated and may be landed with minimal effort using guidelines, even by someone without prior experience.
The old method of displaying the instrument panel with dials, gauges, and knobs has been replaced by state-of-the-art designs based on buttons and readings. Not all aircraft have these capabilities, so an inexperienced person can’t land all planes without training and experience. We want to point out that while an amateur can fly a plane, it’s not recommended or encouraged!
