This is the detalization I need when I meet some new machinery which I understand the working principles and already worked with something similar.

If it has autopilot and autobrakes, surely all those other buttons aren't needed?

Keep plane in sky, above the ground (unless you meant to), check!✈️

Pff.

Just caption an Airbus. Assuming you're in flight, you just need the buttons to engage cat III auto landing, make wings bigger, make wheels stick out, and brakes after you land.

Cute meme, but also wildly irresponsible. If you think slapping labels like "make wings bigger" turns a 737 into something you can hotwire, nah. Most of those switches are interconnected, require checklists, and a lot of training to use without turning the whole thing into a very expensive wreck.

Also, stealing planes is illegal and deadly, not a punchline. If you actually want to fly, take lessons and get certified. Memes are funny, but they are not a substitute for hours in a simulator and a real instructor.

Set autopilot to fly approach -> activate ILS. Besides the radio there's essentially no other controls you would need to touch in an emergency (landing gear (if not handled by ILS), autobrake, engine stop, parking brake, door controls), and it's very easy (by design) for the tower to talk you through the settings to do that. This meme is more than enough to familiarize you with the basic control locations in case you need to make an adjustment based off tower instructions, but at the same time buddy chill TF out it's a meme.

(note that realistically it would never be you-a-passenger doing this, it'd be one of the cabin crew)
