Very interesting video, I don't usually try the big stuff in FSX but I think I have a little play later.

Interesting video however 'inexperienced' could mean she had 5000 hours on light aircraft ...

Also made it a lot easier that the airport was equipped with autoland equipment (calibrated ILS Cat IIIb - looked it up .. ;) ) - would have been a lot more interesting to land at one without. (normal pilot controlled landing)

Mmm. In experienced but in real life the person "talking them down" would have a much harder job. She appears to know where stuff is so has obvious had a good brief or is enough of an aviator to recognise abbreviations on buttons.. A good example was "check auto thrust engaged" - she pressed a button; in reality you'd have to ask is the button illuminated etc etc. Imagine that for a whole approach.

A nice little idea of a video, but somewhat simplistic. <<v
