I give the guy credit for remaining calm. I also give him credit for figuring out the radio, that can be the most confusing thing of all on some aircraft. The 208 is a pretty docile aircraft. Getting it lined up on the centerline would be a real challenge, but he seemed to do OK with the initial descent, in other words he didn't end up in a power dive. Again, remaining calm and mentally collected in the face of serious adversity was his biggest asset in that situation.
What's the point of an open door policy if inside the open door sits a closed mind?
