Definitely not a Ryanair pilot

Suspiciously absent is cockpit footage of said “calm” pilot which would probably tell a different story. Great landing, no doubt, but assuming the demeanor of the PIC is a bit much.

You think he would be panicking?

It’s a gear up landing. It’s hardly even dangerous, when sone properly. Which this was.

Training wins again.

The old rule: "Fly the plane as far into the accident as you can". And when you have to land on the belly, make it a landing as normal as possible.

Most stressful part of the whole thing is doing the fucking paperwork after
