Mohammed Atta flew into the 93rd-99th floors of the 110-story North Tower of the World Trade Center on a “severe clear”, sunny, cloudless day. A little higher and he would have overshot the towers entirely and probably crashed into the water just south of Manhattan.
Marwan al-Shehhi almost hit two other passenger jets (their pilots had to frantically move out of the way) and almost missed the 110-story South Tower entirely; a last-second bank/pivot resulted in him plowing into the building close to a corner, tearing through the 77th through 85th floors. Again, this was on a “severe clear”, sunny, cloudless day.
Hani Hanjour initially overshot the massive, easy-to-see-from-above Pentagon entirely, forcing him to make that infamous circular turn downward into the west side of the building. Again, this was on a “severe clear”, sunny, cloudless day.
Ziad Jarrah never made it to his target, so we can’t evaluate his flying skills, but I’m confident that they were comparable to his three comrades on the other flights.
And all of this was in flight! The airline pilots they murdered had so graciously done the hard work of taking off for them! And needless to say, landing the planes wasn’t on the hijackers’ agenda...
Conclusion: The events of 9/11 prove that the Al Qaeda suicide hijacker pilots used in Osama bin Laden and KSM’s operation were pretty lousy pilots, indeed.
