Final Descent (1997)
Not totally unrealistic
13 August 2013 - 2 out of 5 users found this review helpful.
I was at Townsville airport, in northern Australia one day, watching a pilot conduct the visual inspection of a DC9 (MD80) which he was about to fly to Brisbane. Just before he boarded the plane, he walked up to the front wheel and gave the tyre a lusty kick. So having a scene where the pilot kicks a tyre is no reason to discount the realism of the entire movie............ I have not as yet seen the movie, but I have always been interested in aeroplanes and anything to do with them, which is why I was watching the pilot perform his pre-flight (something which, I have been told by people who work as aircrew, is a normal aviation requirement).
