== Anime & Manga ==
* A variation in ''[[Pokémon (Anime)|Pokémon]]'' had Max and Gym Leader Tate taking instructions from Tate's father to land a ''rocket ship''.
* The ''[[Detective Conan]]'' [[Non -Serial Movie]] ''Magician of the Silver Sky'' features a particularly intricate (or contrived) example: {{spoiler|after poison incapacitates its pilots and a lightning strike disables the autopilot and radio, high school girls Ran and Sonoko must manually land an airliner (that is also missing one engine and almost out of fuel) on an unlit pier. Fortunately they have help from high school detective Shinichi Kudo (in the person of Conan disguising his voice, calling them from an intercom phone to talk them through the procedure) and flamboyant thief Kaitou Kid (who manipulates the dozens of police cars chasing him into forming up as makeshift runway lights).}}

Line 95:
* Happened in an episode of ''[[The Flintstones]]'' when Fred is taking piloting lessons. Barney ends up with Fred when he's taking the license test. Fred got himself ejected out from his plane after a mishap from flying in restricted area and leaving Barney behind. Fred instructs Barney from the radio on landing the plane safely.
* The ''[[Garfield and Friends]]'' episode "Skyway Robbery" also had this plot point halfway through. After Jon, Garfield, and Odie have taken off in the rundown plane that they boarded (thanks to [[Con Man|Mr. Swi]][[Meaningful Name|ndler]]), the plane starts to have problems after the pilot bailed out, leaving the three in the dark about how to land the plane. It was fortunate that Jon was able to contact the air control tower who starts to talk them down. However, when the air control officer tells them how to work the plane, Jon doesn't know which control to use, but when said officer begins describing the controls in a way that Garfield understands (the air control officer began using food and pasta-related terms because he was having spaghetti), Garfield was able to flawlessly land the plane back on the ground again.
* Similarly, this was also used in the ''[[Codename Kids Next Door (Animation)|Codename Kids Next Door]]'' episode "Operation: H.O.L.I.D.A.Y.". Lizzie is forced to take the controls of the plane after Numbuh Two and Numbuh Three both became incapacitated after inadvertently taking a bite from the pie that Lizzie was going to give to Numbuh One. Numbuh One was forced to give Lizzie instructions on how to fly and land the plane. The episode even threw in this amusingly clever [[Shout -Out]] to [[Airplane!]]:
{{quote| '''Numbuh One''': Surely you'll realize you don't want to crash?<br />
'''Lizzie''': ''[on the radio]'' '''Who is Shirley?!?!?!''' }}
