Riddle #9 - Pilot Error
*this is for Rusty*
Tim Shaw, a pilot for eighteen years, had an outstanding safety record. One afternoon he was trying to land a British Airways 747. Visibility was good in spite of a slight snow flurry. He was easing the plane gently down towards the runway when it happened. It appeared that Tim had throttled back too early and the Jumbo jet, one of the safest planes in service, stalled and crash-landed.
although no one was hurt, the accident was clearly due to pilot error, yet Tim Shaw was not grounded. He continued flying and, in spite of this blemish on his record, his career remained unaffected. How was this possible, considering the stringent safety measures applied by all international airlines?
was he in the flight simulator?
another Lori - Yes. I will make the next one harder.
sorry Rusty! I almost didn’t want to respond until you had your chance, but I just couldn’t help myself!
