    A cool-headed amateur pilot successfully completed an emergency landing with his family onboard after a major technical issue.
    Though Devin Miller, 33, works in consumer marketing in Texas, his hobby and passion is flying planes.
    While flying wife Melanie and their two young children from Atlanta to Houston on September 1, Devin planned to land at their scheduled fuel stop in Mississippi.
    However, when Devin began to slow the plane and line up the approach to land, to his shock and horror he realised the performance of the controls were not responding to his inputs.

      Stuck throttle at least at some level allowing level flight or slight climb is better than no throttle and you are coming down within glide range wherever you are. Being able to arc around the field and troubleshoot is a doable situation. Stressful as hell though but at least you can work the issue. Having the family on board sucks.

    20 years ago I experienced a similar emergency in my 182 Cessna. The throttle cable became separated from the carburetor and remained in the full open position. I was literally holding the throttle in my hand when my wife asked if there was a problem. I replied, no honey no problem at all, I’ll just use the other throttle. She said ok and went back to her reading. I retarded the mixture and signed off with flight following. I started my descent into
    Banning airport and manipulated the mixture throughout the approach and landing. No big deal 😊

      I was thinking the same thing....technically anything the PIC feel is an emergency is an "emergency" however, having too much power isn't something I would be too worried about. Use that power to climb over the nearest airport and then it's a simple mixture idle cutoff and a spiral to landing. Every pilot practices this from private to commercial. Not to take away from the guys composure but this was a non even in my opinion.

    @cardinalflyer 3 роки тому +14

    Shame to see so much incorrect information tossed around as fact. I've had this happen on my single engine airplane. It certainly is surprising and makes you think a bit. Perhaps being an engineer made it more obvious to me at the time: it is simple to reduce power without a throttle... just pull the mixture. The engine keeps turning because the prop is windmilling, but the engine stops producing power.
    If you want a bit more power, add a bit more fuel. The engine will pop and sputter a bit, or at least mine did. I clearly remember flying over a church on final that Sunday morning, feeling bad about the racket I was making over their service. The engine is very controllable this way. I even taxied up onto the ramp by continuing to control mixture. The propeller is very heavy and acts like a flywheel, keeping the engine turning as you add and remove fuel manually.
    I called the 'after hours' number on the door of the FBO, they had the bolt and hardware I needed (at no charge no less!) and I continued the trip. Nice folks there.
    I'm sure this event was stressful for those on board, but they got to the right answer. I'm sure that once the pilot tried it he found as I did that it quickly becomes natural to use the mixture, so as the aviation saying goes, "the safe execution of the maneuver was never seriously in doubt." Always nice when that works out.

      First -Not a pilot. He changed the pitch of the propeller and then used fuel mixture to both slow down for the wheels to drop and to almost kill the engine. I'm sure he'll have to give it a tune up and maybe even get a shop to adjust the prop after getting the cable fixed. I seen another story about a full throttle landing and a mechanic said at high speed changing the pitch of the blade drastically can bend or damage the prop and the everything should be inspected. Of course when turning the fuel mixture so far to kill the engine will probably foul the plugs out.
