This procedure is called a positive exchange of controls. Under normal circumstances it is a three step process:

Pilot 1: "You have the controls" Pilot 2: "I have the controls" Pilot 1: "You have the controls"

This process removes ambiguity, ensuring that both pilots are situationally aware.

According to the voice recording (VFR data), we can hear Brett James say "Jesus, take the wheel".

The VFR does not register a response from Jesus. Some have speculated that he was distracted, others say it may be a technical malfunction. Many others are speculating that he actually never existed.

Unfortunately Brett James does not follow positive exchange of controls procedure, he never confirms that Jesus has the controls, and this is a fatal mistake.

Jesus: I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FLY A FUCKING PLANE.

Turns out they didn't have planes 2000 years ago. Oops.

I guess Jesus really, really wanted this particular motherfucker.

I know laughing is illegal now but it is a tad ironic

I guess Jesus shoulda took the control yoke, too.

There's no wheel to take on a plane

“Jesus, I seen what you done for John Denver, and I want that for me.”

To a Christian, who believes in martyrdoom, dying isn't so much trouble, because Jesus will forgive even the most psychopathic liars so long as they repent the night before. They will cognitively dissonance Brett James’s harms, and admit him to heaven, and the genocidal cause.

Alright, I had me a giggle. You got me.

Man, that's the plane that has the parachute, too.

I think small airplane travel is about as dangerous as motorcycle riding but it's been a minute since I looked. I love flight and I'm not sure I'd get in one anymore.

Harsh. But good on you for posting it here.

nice job, jesus, you half-assed fuck
