The quote of the day was this quote about the passenger who landed the plane:
"They walked him through flipping the switches, turning the knobs," Wallace said. The passenger landed the plane safely on his first try.How many "trys" do you get? I didn't know you got more than one when trying to land an airplane.
Before I thought it went without saying - however you might want to inform your pilots of all of your flights that you expect them to land on the first time - every time!

Actually if you're in an emergency situation like this, with working engines, you'd probably want to land the plane a little hot -- with enough airspeed to punch the throttle and take off again if you bounce too high or don't think you have enough runway left to stop.
All pilots practice Touch-and-Go's to get their license, which are exactly what they sound like. You land and then take off again without hitting the brakes.
