You know what? You’re absolutely right.

People: please leave flying 737s to trained experts with the know-how, FAA licensure, and medical clearance. They know better than you even if you think you can do it from a meme.

It’s very important that you not touch ANY of the buttons and dials on a 737. People could get hurt or even die if you do.

Chill, it's just a shitpost.

BTW, a regular person can likely fly and land a 737 with some basic ATC instructions, there have been multiple experiments demonstrating this (in a simulator). A guide like this would be immensely helpful in that situation.

Set autopilot to fly approach -> activate ILS. Besides the radio there's essentially no other controls you would need to touch in an emergency (landing gear (if not handled by ILS), autobrake, engine stop, parking brake, door controls), and it's very easy (by design) for the tower to talk you through the settings to do that. This meme is more than enough to familiarize you with the basic control locations in case you need to make an adjustment based off tower instructions, but at the same time buddy chill TF out it's a meme.

(note that realistically it would never be you-a-passenger doing this, it'd be one of the cabin crew)

Are you saying this is actually accurate? I assumed it was a joke and none of those things actually did what they say.

If it's a newer 737, it is already a very expensive wreck.
