Without taking anything from the plot, there is to mention, that some inaccuracies appear in this film: - In the beginning (the first plane appearing with the elderly captain) has the landing gear extended during the flight at 25.000 feet altitude. This is highly unrealistic, as the gear would not stand such a force. Normally landing gear is retracted immediately after getting airborne. - Lightning cannot affect the pilot's activity in the cockpit. The plane builds a "Faraday's Cage" meaning that lightning, when hitting the plane, gets diverted in different directions along the fuselage, causing no impact to people inside the plane. - the captains decision to shut down the burning engine in the first chapter of the film was not wrong, so it cannot been taken as an argument for an automated pilot. Having said this, the captains behavior is quite indecisive for an experienced pilot, he appears rather senile.
