    A Piper PA-32-260 Cherokee Six lost engine power and landed in a field off Jim Crystal Road, north of Denton Enterprise Airport (KDTO), Denton, Texas.
    The pilot was the only person on board then and walked away without any serious injuries and the aircraft was not damaged.

    IMPORTANT:
    This video is all about education. It's designed to give aspiring pilots and air traffic controllers a taste of real-world situations through example scenarios and helpful info. But that's not all! Current pilots and controllers can also benefit by listening to real radio communications from around the globe. This helps them stay sharp and think about how they might handle similar situations.
    To create these videos, I keep my ear to the ground on major aviation news and events. I check the dates and time zones to see if I can find recordings of the radio conversations. Then, I become a bit of a broken record myself, listening to them repeatedly to create subtitles and identify key moments. Finally, I whip up some animations (or grab them from ADS-B websites) and combine them into a neat package.

    Aviated, navigated, and waited til he was safely down to communicated lol nicely done.

    • @RetreadPhoto
      @RetreadPhoto Місяць тому

      But did he truly aviate, if he flew it to a field, instead of a runway?

    • @davidcubero2137
      @davidcubero2137 Місяць тому

      This is precisely WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION!
      I WANT MY FELLOW PILOTS TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS HOW TO STAY ALIVE!
      If this Pilot had tried to make it to The Runway, He WOULD NOT HAVE HAD ENOUGH ALTITUDE OR AIRSPEED TO HAVE MADE IT!!! HE WOULD HAVE LIKELY STALLED & SPUN! You trade ALTITUDE For AIRSPEED! He was turning from Base To Final, He DIDN'T Have Much Altitude Or Airspeed to trade! In this situation, you forget about That Runway That's Beyond Your Reach & YOU MAKE AN OFF-AIRPORT LANDING & A Nice, Soft Field Is Where YOU SHOULD LAND YOUR AIRCRAFT IF YOU WANT TO SURVIVE!!!!!
      So IF Anyone Questions Whether This Pilot AVIATED, NAVIGATED & AS SOON AS HE WAS ABLE, HE COMMUNICATED,,,THE ANSWER IS A RESOUNDING YES!!!!!!
      This Is A "Non-Event," In That No One Was Injured, No Property Was Seriously Damaged & This Pilot Went Home!
      So I Join With This Commenter In Saying "WELL DONE!!!"

      I travel past this airfield a few times a month. Pattern could be wide due to those tree lines for this exact situation. That's my only guess.

    Nice job pilot! Don't try and stretch that glide over the trees when you have a good field right in front of you. A solid short field landing saved the nose gear, prop and engine. Outstanding.

    • @RetreadPhoto
      @RetreadPhoto Місяць тому +1

      The trade off is you have to deal with a particular female controller there that has to Google stuff, still comes up with the wrong answer, and illogically argues with knowledgeable, trained, professional, experience CFIs while ignoring other traffic in the area.

    That's not a crash. That's an off-field emergency landing, obviously very well managed to avoid a crash. Good job by that pilot. Plane was back in the air 6 days later. Very Impressive landing in that case.

    I’m a glider pilot. I think it would be useful for power pilots to spend some time practising power off landings. Field landings are simply accepted as part of gliding.

      Her name is Brenda Mooney. She was the air traffic controller a couple of months ago that was known for getting into an argument with a pilot and stating she was correct about a flight procedure because she googled it. She is not liked by 95% for the pilots that fly out of Denton.

    • @RetreadPhoto
      @RetreadPhoto Місяць тому +1

      “Shortened” means there is some sort of work in progress at either end of the runway, and the pilot does not have the full length of the runway. Which with a full load on a hot and humid day with full tanks, they may need. It’s a reminder that they need to check the NOTAM and their POH to ensure their plane’s performance can meet the requirements of the length of runway that is still available to them.

    They are not real emergency ATC communications unless the controller makes the pilot in distress, who should be her main focus, repeat his traffic at least once.

    Some farm fields make good landing and take-off surfaces and light aviation used many farm fields for take-offs and landings in the bye gone days.

      Unscheduled landing off-airport in an unprepared field not intended for air traffic with unknown damage to the aircraft and likely no ability to takeoff. Emergency landing or crash, does it really matter?

  • @jacktcfii

    When practicing landings, stay within gliding distance of the runway. Looks like this pilot did not do that.

    • @bungee7503
      @bungee7503 Місяць тому +1

      Given this logic, one should not leave the airfield area without doing a spiral climb to gain height first.
