Okay, so he’s not exactly asleep, but still. And we thought only passengers were raiding airport gift shops for sudoku books. World Hum contributor Abbie Kozolchyk shot this recently somewhere over Belize:

Haven’t you ever gotten so bored on a car trip that you look at the owner’s manual? Perhaps that’s what we’re looking at here.

LOL. That is some scary stuff. Were you in that plane or is just a funny picture? I hate flying. I also hate Sudoku. I’ve never had the patience for it.

its called auto pilot and radar! who is he crashing into?! also, do you mean you were high, like puff, puff, give? i think i would be more concerned if i was nearer to the ground, but still in the air on the plane over belize!

There is nothing wrong with it. The aircraft is in auto pilot, both pilots are listening to ATC communication. This is normal, day-to-day thing.
Do you think they would have to “keep their hands on the steering wheel and watch out for traffic”? LOL!!!!!
There is Radar, There is Auto-Pilot, There is ATC ( transponder communications).

pilots are for take off and landing only.

What? I don’t see anything unusual going on here.
