Find a lake, and stall it in. Since the flyer has no experience in the cockpit and won’t know about gear or flaps, water is a bigger cushion than land and he can make the mistake of pulling up the nose just before he contacts and belly it in. He can then shoot out the cockpit glass and crawl out before it sinks. Hope he can swim?

Correction. The pilot has no direct experience flying, but he’s very smart and has a near photographic memory and can call up all kinds of memories, movies, conversations with pilot buddies, etc. Shoot, even total nonpilot me knows about landing gears and flaps. As a passenger I’ve watched the flaps during landing all the time. What I would lack is any skill in using them. But then I’m not a brilliant physicist either. So for purposes of this exercise, assume the agent can figure it out. What would he need to do?

Peace,

SR
