There's a keyword missing in that title
First I thought 'what the actual fuck, why you're piloting plane with one hand'. Fix that title.

[QUOTE=PiX06;45686505][QUOTE]Sensationalist Headlines[/QUOTE][/QUOTE] The title of the forum is meant to be a joke. It's not an instruction.
[quote]his prosthetic limb became detached from the yoke clamp, depriving him of control of the aircraft[/quote] [quote]It landed heavily but no-one was hurt and the plane was not damaged.[/quote] Mad skills.

[QUOTE=PiX06;45686652]News gets more informative the more outraged you are by it[/QUOTE] I'm not really 'outraged' by a pilot's prosthetic arm coming of.
[QUOTE=PiX06;45686652]News gets more informative the more outraged you are by it[/QUOTE] I was informed more about your personality than this dude's arm. Neither of these are interesting.
"Jesus Dave, you're arm fell off!" "Oh don't worry about that John, that's a regular occurrence, but we really should get this plane under control while I put it back on."
To be fair BBC news described this incident in a similar way [IMG]http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x268/pishkie/Capture_zps98560f59.png[/IMG]

[QUOTE=wauterboi;45686869]Yeah, but you read the article, right? You don't have to try and draw everyone in with the same sensationalist title.[/QUOTE] Yes please everyone stick to informative titles in sensationalist headlines Really?

Who would hire a pilot with an artificial arm
Planes still have propellers? I thought they were all replaced with engines.
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/YElLQzr.png[/IMG] Oh my god. [QUOTE=AcidGravy;45687670]Planes still have propellers? I thought they were all replaced with engines.[/QUOTE] Plane engines still have propellers in them.
i guess there was no arm done
[QUOTE=Last or First;45687767]Plane engines still have propellers in them.[/QUOTE] Honestly didn't know that, you learn something new everyday.
[QUOTE=AcidGravy;45687670]Planes still have propellers? I thought they were all replaced with engines.[/QUOTE] Literally among the top 10 dumbest things I've ever read
[QUOTE=Grenadiac;45687903]Literally among the top 10 dumbest things I've ever read[/QUOTE] Not everyone knows everything about aeronautics, don't be an asshole about it
well they certainly aren't wind powered, of course they have engines
[QUOTE=Cabbage;45687939]Not everyone knows everything about aeronautics, don't be an asshole about it[/QUOTE] You don't have to know anything about aeronautics wtf Even prop planes have engines, something has to turn the propeller.
So I can't even be cabin crew because of my bad (corrected) eyesight but they let someone fly a plane with a prosthetic arm?
