Passenger with zero flight time....

[Basil]

This is remarkable for a number of reasons. A man with no flight experience finds himself in a complex Turbo Prop airplane with an incoherent pilot. Controller happened to be an instructor who was able to talk him through the landing procedure (this ain't no Cessna 152) and the guy greases it onto the runway! Thanks goodness it was during daylight.

Oh wow! Unbelievable.
Zero time and he had to be in the right seat. Good thing he didn’t know the difference. Insurance company needs to give him a little “tip”

I saw that a bit ago. Funny, I often used to think "well I could probably do that." Pretty thankful I never had to test that foolish theory though.

As opposed to this:

Virgin flight turns back to replace pilot who had not done final flying test

Plane returns to Heathrow after ‘rostering error’ meant first officer didn’t meet Virgin Atlantic protocols

As much as I'd love the chace to fly, I'd want to do so with the instructor physically present in the other seat - not explaining it over the phone.
