Pilot's artificial arm 'became detached while landing plane'

His FO should've definitely given him a hand.
I'm going out on a limb here, but maybe they miscalculated the weight & balance using an arm that was too far forward of the CG datum.
I can't help but find this story a little humerus!

Glad it ended well ... It was armless to all on board

Well, as far as the FO taking immediate control, while normally not a factor, that is why he is there. That is why an approach is briefed and the FO is an integral part of everything on the way down

Easy... could fly one those with one arm behind my back.... watch.

This is probably why flight attendants stand in front of the cockpit door. They don't want the passengers to see that the pilots might be missing some parts.

Always leave them laughing :-)

And now a 777-300 belonging to India's Jet Airwyas took a 5,000 ft (yes 5 thousand) dive endangering its own passengers and who knows how many other aircraft in the área. What has come the world to, do we now on have to make reservations asking first if their pilots have all of their arms, legs and MINDS in good working order.

Henceforth when flying this airline again I might have to ask the stews if the pilots´ arms and legs are the original ones or what.

Douglas Bader the famous British Spitfire pilot had just one functioning leg and went on to shot down several Luftwaffe fighters, but those were WWI heroics however this is Godawful. Granted people with dissabilities have the right to demand from society a decent job but in this case everyone at this silly airline who hired this pilot should be given a big pink slip, what were they thinking.

Heavy Landing with a one-armed pilot

I wonder if this has ever happened in the history of aviation. He stayed cool under pressure, prepared for the changes, and made it happen.
