Augie Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Well, that’s at least two people having a very bad day!

DC Tom Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 To be honest, the plane was landing either way. The passenger just kept it in one piece. 1 4

BUFFALOKIE Posted October 23, 2019 Posted October 23, 2019 I hope for this opportunity every time I board. Damn straight i can land this pig! I have hundreds of hours of simulator time (real airline full motion simulators) - even smoothly landing a 777 on its roof. Simulators dont lie. Man that was a fun job!!! Spent more time ***** off pretending to fly than actually working.

Such a thing is not possible in the real world. Where did you do this, and for who? Edited October 23, 2019 by sherpa

(1995) She was a hangar queen for at least the three three years while I was there. 777 can maintain altitude inverted, and according to 1997 software.......that was fun! The Bell 412 helicopter was even more fun.!!!!! I got fired, for having too much fun. Edited October 24, 2019 by BUFFALOKIE

I'm not sure how much time you have in the real world inverted, but such a thing requires -1G, which would not only make it nearly impossible to fly for anyone without a great deal of fighter experience, but the trash that would be in your eyes would be amazing. Your claim is that you could land it inverted, if that's what you meant by landing it "on the roof." Doing so would, of necessity, rip off the vertical stabilizer and shortly thereafter, the horizontal stabilizer, giving it no lateral or longitudinal control. If you could do this, and somehow survive, that would truly be amazing, and I guarantee the airplane wouldn't.

I had hundreds of nights in the sims
BUFFALOKIE Posted October 24, 2019 Posted October 24, 2019 Agreed Sherpa, ridiculous, but a 777 can fly up side down and hold altitu *so says the sim Try it next time you are simming.

I flew the thing for years, and am very familiar with the fuel system and items in the accessory gear box of the engines, like oil, hydraulics etc., and it can't.

Yeah, well, who am I to believe? A 90's model computer, or a veteran pilot??? J/K, I dont doubt you, but the sim allowed it. Lol.
