“Just buttons and levers”

[JeppUpdater]

He’s a solid candidate for a Darwin Award or a Mesa Airlines phone interview hire.

An 18-year-old Arkansas man arrested at Texarkana Regional Airport last month told investigators he intended to fly a stolen plane to a rap music concert in another state, authorities said.
Chief Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Chuck Black on Monday formally charged Zemarcuis Devon Scott with commercial burglary and attempted theft of property with a value greater than $25,000.
Asked about his lack of training as a pilot, Scott told Texarkana police that he didn't believe there was much more to the task than pushing buttons and pulling levers, according to a probable cause affidavit filed in the case.

Indeed. It’s th knowing WHEN to push said buttons or pull said levers that’s the tough part

I mean, #yesand, just put it back if it turned out wrong time or wrong lever.

It immediately resets your daily flight and duty clock to zero and counts your previous 10 hours as rest. Worst Konami code ever.

Some of our best primary flight students were young people who grew up on Flight Sim. They didn't understand the importance of visual references for pitch & bank such as the wingtip or windshield bug splat on the horizons, and no - they couldn't start the airplane without assistance the first few flights.

Man tried to steal plane for concert (he must have thought it was an Airbus, because):

• Asked about his lack of training as a pilot, Zemarcuis Devon Scott, 18, allegedly told Texarkana, Ark., police that he didn't believe there was much more to the task than pushing buttons and pulling levers . . . .

All he had to do was throw up a "disconnect ground power" hand signal instead of a gang sign and he would have been made legit.

Or is he a knob polisher?

Once released from jail be will be assigned (sentenced) to a RAP consisting of short call reserve convertible to ready reserve. He will then petition the court to have himself remanded back to the custody of the department of corrections faster than you can say "call scheduling."

I occasionally use "Wakanda Forever" or "Dilly Dilly" after I tell the driver he's clear to disconnect.
