   This really is such inspiring audio. Talk about stepping up to the plate. There isn’t a hint of fear or panic in his voice, just total concentration.

   1) my grammar is equal 2) I mean that they train emergency´s in a Simulator, and I have my PPLA flight license I know whereof I speak, I think i know more about these things as you, so don´t get on my nerves…

    1) Your grammar is way off, 2) Pilots do not train to land on the water! The process is called ditching. A commercial airliner is not designed to land on the water. Therefore, there cannot be training for it. Think before speaking you ignoramus!

    soundlike fabian, To train to land in water, and to land in water, are two totally different things….

    it’s not about being able to land on water, it’s about making that decision in 15″. god bless him.

    oh yeah Everybody say its an Hero, but Pilots make a training to land a plane on the water…

    Is the plane 1529, 39 or 49? Or is there something in ATC that means the call sign changes?

    As Sully has said in his interviews “it was a team effort” these behind the scenes audio tapes, make us aware that many people contributed to the success of the landing and rescue

    GOOD JOB ALL
