In the real plane you can copy the ABEAM point from FIX to LEGS via LSK selection. I don't think you can copy the RAD/DIST points though... Never tried actually, so don't quote me 100% on that. As lawson23 said, we always use the WPTrad/nm format directly into the LEGS page for that.

Hi, As someone said before me, you would definitely stand a better chance than the average passenger, but it would ultimately depend on luck IMO. Just talking about the flare, even in the perfect calm day, the control forces involved during the flare are way bigger than the ones you are used to with pc hardware. You would probably flare not enough and smash the ground before the airplane could react to any corrective input. This doesn't mean that the airplane would turn into a big orange fireball but the chances of making it in one piece are not good at all. I'm positive though that the average hardcore simmer would manage to take the airplane into a stabilized final approach using automation (and obviously some help over the radios). The outcome of the landing, as I wrote above, would in the end depend in their reaction to a lot of factors they have never experienced before... what I called "luck".
