This was written by a non-pilot passenger during an instrument flight in a Cessna 182. From the questions and observations of the pilot, this was his take on flying.

I think that should be helicopter, not airplane. Unless the airplane is on fire. Then it counts. And always remember, Takeoffs are optional, landings are mandatory.

This is a bit of an exaggeration. The basics of flight are not nearly that complicated in a fixed wing aircraft.

Definitely applies to helicopter pilot's. This was written by a non-pilot passenger during an instrument flight in a Cessna 182. From the questions and observations of the pilot, this was his take on flying.

Agreed, it is. But from a non-pilot observer its the way it seems. Makes sense in the article.

Yeah, most planes will fly themselves, at least a little bit, if you let go of the controls. A heli will actively try to end you.

Having flown a couple airplanes in my time, it's actually a lot easier than most people think.

It is really quite easy, stick and rudder flying. But when you toss in navigation, instrument flying, ATC, weather, high performance equipment, it gets a little more complicated.
