How to land a 747 (Don’t try this at home)
MAIN CHECKLIST
- Get on the radio, and tell whoever’s listening that you are landing a 747.
- Engage a single channel of the autopilot — light one of the buttons labeled “CMD.” Point the heading indicator in the direction indicated to keep the plane straight and level.
- Find the checklists in the side pocket of the pilot’s and copilot’s seat. If the plane is a 747-400, engage the Automatic Landing System (ALS). If it is not a 747-400, see below under “Landing Without ALS.”
Well, reblogging this… JUST IN CASE.
