Wow what a unique plot idea
A pilot is incapacitated, or dies, and inexperienced people have to land the plane. Who thought up this genius plot?

shareWell, it was inspired by an actual event. https://www.historyvshollywood.com/reelfaces/on-a-wing-and-a-prayer/
Of course they changed a lot of things. Doug White (the father) actually had a pilot's license, he was not completely inexperienced as he was in the film. They were not able to remove the dead pilot from the left seat. I guess the film producers did not want a corpse on scene for most of the film instead of Heather Graham.
The weather was good and White had few problems coming in for a landing while being talked through it by those on the ground.
have you ever seen a grown man naked?
shareWell, most of the events of the film actually happened. Someone did write a script though. What parts did you not like?
