Is drunk flying easier than drink driving?

[Catler]

When I get super drunk and play flying simulators I can land the plane perfectly fine, 100% of the time. When I play driving simulators I crash 100% of the time.

Now as much as I'd like to conduct an IRL scientific experiment, I don't have access to a plane.

i feel like you'd be able to do plane tricks easier when drunk

This is one of the dumbest questions I've ever heard.

Have you ever met an airline pilot? Of course it's easier. Most of them are drunk around 80% of their lives. Most wouldn't even dream of getting behind the controls without at least a solid buzz.

Now think: how many stories of drunk drivers getting into accidents do you see, versus how many stories of drunk pilots getting into plane crashes do you see?

sounds like you're drunk Posting, which is a crime at the sneederal level. I'm afraid you're gonna have to spread 'em.

I’m gonna have to ask @Catler to go ahead and blow into the tube…….

What of drunk sailing? You barely have to look where you're going.

The only thing easier than drunk flying is drunk air traffic controlling.

"Airliner 123 cleared to,,, hic... land... runway hic thirty nine."

What else do you do on a boat? Stare at the water?

I think you're supposed to fish or write a novel, both of which require drink.

Airplane have literal retard alarms for everything

Overspeed, stall, terrain, altitude and whatever.

Whereas my car makes a funny light when it runs out of sniffing juice

I mean who's gonna pull you over the sky police? I'd like to see them try.

Idk how it could be. Drunk driving is pretty easy.

Autopilot seems a lot more robust than cruise control.
