Is this known and applied?: The second pilot should not eat the same meal that captain eats (on board and before the flight). Otherwise if the meal is corrupted, perhaps nobody will be able to land. The probability that two different meals are corrupted is significantly less.

This has generally been addressed by assuring that at least one passenger has significant experience flying the particular aircraft in Microsoft Flight Simulator.Les règles de l'aviation de base découragent de longues périodes de dur tirer vers le haut.

I don't understand you, 3WE. Do you mean, that a passenger who was playing in MS Flight Simulator can land a real aircraft (of the same type)? I doubt (landing is so difficult, that autopilot cannot do this; I think the mentionted passenger could not either). Maybe I have used too short sentence "nobody will be able to land". I meant that neither the captain nor the second pilot will be able to land - and this is a situation we should avoid.

For what it's worth, I landed several times a Boeing 737-300 in a full motion level D simulator (that the airline that owned it used to train the pilots that went non-stop from the sim to the left seat in a revenue flight). I did spend like 15 minutes at the beginning of the session trying to figure out how to release the parking brake, though. (there was no instructor or pilot with me)

On the other hand, setting up any plane for an autolanding, both in terms of navigation and what buttons/switches/levers/menus to set, is not trivial. It's not like there's a big button in the middle of the instrument panel marked "Land me".Be alert! America needs more lerts.

Maybe there should be...
For now, one of you should avoid the fish.

Or that a serious simmer with a good type-specific add-on can't handle like a pro (or better)
