Pilots flying Boeing 737 simulator for TV program see it disastrously unfold in hilarious chaos

While showcasing a new Boeing 737 simulator for a Brazilian TV news segment, this pilot caused utter chaos in a demonstration gone wrong.

As one of the biggest passenger airplanes out there, the Boeing 737 takes a lot of skill to fly.

Plus, they’re seriously expensive to build.

That’s why pilots spend a lot of time learning how to fly them in flight simulators from the safety of the ground – and this Brazilian pilot proved exactly why that is.

Flight simulators are near-perfect recreations of actual aircraft

Just as was seen in the blockbuster Tom Hanks movie, Sully, flight simulators have become incredibly realistic and are now a crucial part of pilot training.

Thanks particularly to Microsoft with its Flight Simulator title, pilots are getting in the air and experiencing every wonder that the skies have to offer.

So much so that telling apart what is real and what is a sim is almost impossible.

Most remarkably, the simulators mimic real-life cockpits, such as this $400,000,000 Boeing 737 recreation.

However, on its most realistic and highest difficulty setting, not every pilot can master the controls.

Boeing 737 simulator demonstration goes hilariously wrong on Brazilian TV

Highlighted on Reddit and in the video at the top of this article, one Brazilian news channel was showcasing a demonstration of a Boeing 737 simulator, where the pilot was performing a takeoff.

The video showed a wobbly start. with the huge plane appearing to be more than a bit lopsided.

But as the journalist began to interview a pilot, the demonstration in the background turned to complete chaos.

The blue skies in the depiction of the flight were suddenly changing to leaves as the simulated flight came hurtling into trees.

The Boeing 737 is one of the most difficult planes to control, given its size, but it’s clear to see that this pilot needs a few more hours mastering the takeoff before they get in a real cockpit.
