Nathan Fielder Ended "The Rehearsal" With His Most Deranged Stunt Yet

  • After two years of training, Nathan Fielder obtained his commercial pilot’s license and piloted a Boeing 737 carrying actor passengers in the final episode of the second season of The Rehearsal in 2023.
  • Fielder used a regulatory loophole that allows pilots without the usual 1,500 hours of flight time to pilot a 737 with a qualified co-pilot present.
  • The finale showcased Fielder flying a plane from San Bernardino International Airport into Nevada's airspace and back, accompanied by a co-pilot who had amassed more than 5,000 hours of flight experience, along with a cabin full of actors.
  • Fielder explained that it can be very challenging for pilots to express their true thoughts while in the cockpit, emphasizing how this communication barrier poses serious safety risks during flights.
  • The project aims to raise awareness of pilot communication issues and mental health stigma, with hopes to influence new safety legislation in aviation.
