I withdraw my comment, it was a bit strong, I just cant stand elitism in Aviation or anywhere else

not really,not in europe anyway, Ryanair has 20 yr olds in the right seat with 200hrs experience, people can go from zero hrs to First Officer on a 737 in 18 months! Scary but true.

So many Pilots are Pompous Assholes and the article and many of the comments demonstrate this

I would say that the video is genuine.I had an engine failure while instructing a student in a PA-28 in march 2000. I talked through what I was doing to keep him and myself calm. Landed in a field with no damage.

If a Pilot did something like this on a Ryanair flight he'd be sacked

Most European Airlines have a set of Jepps and charts in each plane.Pilots are not required to have their own

Lipo batteries have gone on fire when punctured or on rare occasions while being charged. I've never heard of a faulty speed controller directly causing a Lipo battery to ignite.What has happened is that the speed controller itself has gone on fire and this fire could spread as any fire can spread throughout the model
