Thanks to Brian for sharing his experience with us!!
Level-headed, calm, flew the plane. That ain't no student anymore. That's a pilot!
Ok I want to shake this student pilot's hand. And after that give his instructor a great big gut punch of SHEER PRIDE. What an awesome job to both! ATC - nice job responding in a way that kept him calm. The power of calmness is controlled by our inflection. Having a calm voice helps keep others calm. Nice work to everyone involved. That was one heck of an engine out landing.
Oh... The engine spinning doesn't mean you "have an engine" running. You just haven't slowed down enough for it to stop.
Again. Nice job. I'll give you a free glider lesson, but looks like you already got your first solo done! 🤣 💪👌
@@shawnnj5999 unnecessary, ignorant, and wrong.
One of the things that makes the community behind this channel great is trolls are completely ignored. Don't feed trolls.
Now locally known as "Big Balls Brian", thank you very much.
Notice how he didn’t immediately jump out with a parachute
🤣
Came here for this

alogarithm is really good nowadays
Ahaha
That's only because I forgot to hit ∆
This is why you should appreciate that rich guy who won't sell his 10 acres to the developers.
@A M You sound like an angry developer
Lol awesome
@@jerryf3307 and your evidence is what exactly? You have the call sign and tower. Feel free to follow up with your investigation and let us all know. Or STFU, fix your keyboard, and kick rocks.
That’s me in real life. 🤣 I’m never selling!
@@jerryf3307So I used to mow fields like that. The width of those tire tracks match a 4 wheeled tractor and mower deck and are spaced exactly as one would mow a field back and forth. This is not an airstrip.
"Holy Shit" I could not have said it better myself. I could see his hands shaking as he was trying to put in the squawk numbers. I felt for him. But he did a great job landing the plane under the circumstances. The one thing he did really well was he kept flying the plane even though he had lost his engine. He kept his speed and made great judgement on where to land. My hats off to his instructor as well. Well done sir. Live to fight another day.
Absolutely right. Aviate, Navigate, Communicate.
Yes the rule is: keep flying the plane
I teared up when he clearly was going to make it.
When I saw his hand shaking while typing in the code it hit me how afraid he was…but he never lost it. Brave guy. Bravo! Hope he kept flying. Only way to get over it.
The only way to get over it, is to fly over it.
I did not notice that before! His hands were shaking HARD. His adrenaline was pumping, laser focused on making it out of that situation alive.
I noticed that too. Having that much control when youre Physically that scared .. this guys going to be an amazing pilot
@@jul_wac why?
@@Sonny2299 w
Pilot: I have lost full engine power.
ATC: That’s why I stay in the tower, over.
This fits the commentary back n forth perfect 😂😂
Pilot: i am heading for the tower, over!
Atc: don’t be a dick now, over
Pilot: suck my engine, over
Pilot: Any last words? Over. L
He gained 5 years experience in 45 seconds. Whew. My heart was racing.
@@okalamaris that field he found to the left…I could almost feel his sense of holy sht, perfect spot.
@@okalamaris private pilots have fatal accidents much more often than commercial flyers. I know this is anecdotal, but my dad’s pilot friend crashed landed twice in one day. Elon Musk’s grandparents also died from a private plane incident, and of course we know what happened to Kobe.
@@okalamaris i think courage is a factor when you have the option to commit to the task at hand. In this situation he had no option, either he dies or he saves himself, I’d say he has great composure and critical thinking ability
@@okalamaris We share the same admiration for the pilot keeping his wits.
😃
That landing was ridiculously perfect in any scenario. 👌 👏 wow. Gald to see you're safe bro!
Smooth as butter. Dude carried out an assessment as quick as possible, concentrated on what still works to fly the plane, communicated the entire time. Seriously, bravo!
That landing was smoother than my last three commercial flights. What a legend.

As the inventor of the aeroplane, I can say he did everything right except turn the engine back on.
19 hours in and not the highest rated comment of all time. 2022 needs to step it up.
Is that an option when you are that low? Non pilot talking here. I thought the same thing - try and restart the engine. But maybe you just want to put all resources into landing at that point.
@@elBusDriverKC you have to re read what “Charles Darwin” the INVENTOR of the aeroplane said and realize you’re replying to the funniest troll so far in 2022.
Bruh 😂😂😂😂 underrated comment 🤣🤣
2022's best comment got in early
Very nice job. You did everything perfectly.
But for any of you who find yourself in a similar situation in the future…
Speaking as a retired air traffic controller with 30 years experience, don’t bother changing your transponder to 7700. It adds nothing of value, particularly if you’re already in communication with ATC. Just fly the airplane.
How is the Rule? Aviate, Navigate, Communicate?
I agree, the only thing I would have changed, is maintaining your altitude, using your head to find a good landing spot, no need to jerk the aircraft around, this only reduces your time to make rational decisions, slowing down thought patterns, visualise your approach in your mind if you find a potential landing spot, make sure you find at least 2 or 3 options in case the field or ground is not what you expected, slowly approach the landing spot while also realising in your visual approach that there will be a point of no return to your other 2 or 3 options so focus that it is a good spot and then commit, it should not be difficult, this process has worked for me in multiple engine failures before, it is something that most flight schools do not teach, especially to compose yourself under pressure, there should be more focus on this, but overall great landing.
@@impulse2 What airplane types have you had engine failures in?
@@blackburst1 2 xPiper PA-38 Tomahawk aka Traumahawk & Cessna 150, this is due to the fact that I used to test these aircraft after they had a bit of a knock or just came out of maintenance, this was during my time in the Congo when things were not so by the book, Belgium soldiers training locals that hardly speak English was a huge problem, this was many, many years ago, now things have changed.
@@impulse2 sounds dicey. I’ve had a 152 quit on me in the pattern, but so far I’ve only had to face that test once.
His final two words was what I was thinking the entire time. Great job!
I'm surprised he landed so smoothly with all that cargo on board in the form of his gigantic iron nuts.
That is the best comment I have ever read in my life
Was about to comment something similar. Amazed he could steer with the absolute bowling balls between his legs. 😅😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hahahahahha... So true!!
Overused comment just wanting likes 🙄
He held that “holy shit” in a lot longer than I would have. His “balls of steel” are REAL!
No swearing on the net or he buys beers all night for everyone? Very restrained.
True. I'd probably have soiled myself within seconds of the prop stopping.
@@NotMe-ej9yz bwahahahaha probably right.
Nah. No point in freaking out. Won't help nothing.
@@michaelmaier7262 once you’re on the ground. You can freak out all you like.
Hey Brian, you handled that situation very well. Please continue flying and don't give it up after that incident. Great respect from munich, germany.
As someone who experienced the same situation as a student.. watching this brought back many memories and the hair on my arms were standing up during the entire video. Nice Landing!
How common is this engine failure? Looking to get my PP license but mechanical failures like these scare me away 😅
@@noah2 don’t be afraid! Some people never experience engine failures and some experience multiple. That’s why we are trained early on for these instances. Remember this is a student pilot in the video who successfully landed in an emergency!
@@noah2 Three part answer: 1. not very common. 2. If you fly enough it WILL happen to you. 3. That's why we practice engine outs on a regular basis.
That was pretty smooth for an emergency landing. Cannot imagine the adrenalin that was pumping during this.
You could see his hands shaking with adrenaline 🤯 but he followed procedure very well
goPro stabilizer, bro
@@dominicwalker1899 it was because he landed and the plane was shaking
I was getting adrenaline wow!
@@dominicwalker1899 I've watched it again and yep his hands weren't still at all. My pants would be brown.
2:26 The most calm and most deserved "Holy shit" ever.
That’s one of those “I legitimately faced death” sobering holy shits. Had a similar one after a close call with a head on truck lol
Hard to stay calm, but staying calm saved his life. 😱 Kuddos. 👍🏽
That " Depends " !
💩😚🤏
You need to say this one loud enough for the ones in the back that didn't hear you!!
What do you think happens when you die? ua-cam.com/video/TCSUKIhjevo/v-deo.html
Literally he did everything from start of error to landing within 1 min. Quick response and decision making. Well done 👍
Dude landed that plane like a boss. Nice work!
Always nice when you have a grass area like that close by. Perfect landing.
Under those conditions, he nailed that landing!
If he were in the Rocky Mountains, it might be a different story.
@@RMokros uh yeah that wouldn't have ended well
not always possible to see bumpy ground, ploughed field hidden by crops dangerous, specially when the furrows are across your path
Some high metropolitan area and he would more than likely be dead
Don’t know who this man is but I’m very proud of him and felt that “holy shit”!
We all felt that holy shit for sure!
Well the great thing here is that he trusted himself, and used his training. He was in control, followed procedures, and was fortunate to have a field. He only allowed himself the " holy shit" after he landed. Not really that much if a big deal in all reality, being in a situation like that. And all honestly, personal experiences, how you react, and the great memories you get out of adventures, and your increasing self confidence make life worth living, and makes you seek out more/ future adventures and challenges to overcome and experience later. This guy isn't afraid of life, or developing his mind.
@@luvyesmusici4886 100%
The breath he took before he said that was probably his first since the engine stopped. Intense.
As a rusty pilot (low time) I have never lost an engine, this guy did a perfect job of staying cool, and I think when he did land (which was excellent ) the HOLY SHIT at point of stopping was perfectly called for and in fact I would have probably thrown in a few curse words that don't exist. . Now with that said YOU NEED TO SHARE your story at FAA safety meetings at your local airports, others will benefit from what you did and how you felt, AGAIN GREAT JOB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. As for all the other pilots (rusty low time , high time, what ever) PLEASE go to those FAA meetings in your local area there is no cost to go and honestly, every time I go to a meeting I learn something, even if it wasn't a related topic that the meeting was about. You will be surprised at what you learn in 2 hours. Google FAA safety meetings or call your local FBO for info)
This may have been terrifying but his discipline and resilience is only going to make him that much stronger and confident. I’d take flight with him, I’ve seen students crack in situations like this
youve been in situations like this ?
@@hashcr2 Eventually, every pilot will be in a situation like this... and instructors get more air time than most pilots so they likely see it more often.
I'm a commercial pilot, with 20 years in the military before that. My heart was racing watching this. You did an amazing job.
Except for the running out of fuel part. Check the incident reports.
@@colinrasmussen9470 yikes lol
I'm an average UA-cam watcher and man, I felt that too.
@@colinrasmussen9470 so somebody boo booed

For being a student it has to be extremely scary to just lose all engine power. Props to him for handling it very well and staying level headed
Prop looked pretty stationary to me... I'll get my coat.
I see what you did there
Student pilots train simulated engine loss all the time. It's literally flight or die response lol
"props" good one!
what's the point of giving him props, he needs an engine.
super sick my dude. you grew right into an experienced pilot right off the bat by necessity. good stuff
Great job! He remained calm and flew the airplane. I notice he immediately started looking for alternate landing sites just as soon as he realised there was a problem. A great shoutout to his instructor as well!
The most relieved "Holy Sh!t" I've ever heard. Well done.

As a licensed pilot since 1974 I can tell you that you admirably handled every pilot's worse nightmare. Well done and incredible skill and smoothness and calmness. I salute you.
That's the worst nightmare? Not hardly.
My worst nightmares were mid-air collisions followed closely by flying into wires.
His hands are shaking but he is calm and collected when communicating with air traffic control about the situation
Ehhh, I coulda done better (says in patronizing voice)
As someone who hates flying, the reassurance this guy gives me is incredible. What a great reaction and landing. Hats off to you Sir!
Perfect reaction...calm and communication was clear. His hand was visibly shaking...very understandable. I'd fly with this pilot any day. Well done son!!
Awesome job communicating and staying calm. Well done!!!
If he's a "student" pilot, I'd fly with him in a heartbeat. The entire emergency was handled like a pro.
ive gotten in touch with the student pilot and have set you up to fly with him. you'll be traveling from your country all the way to a remote mountain in Somalia. everything has been taken care of. all you need to do is provide me with your home address, legal name, and SSN
Right!? Seems he had his head on right well enough to slide on in there and walk away from it!

Outstanding landing, then outstanding in his field! (like the old farmer joke)
@Jack Thompson engines usually fail for almost any other reason than running out of fuel
@Jack Thompson You seem nice, like the kind of person who puts positive energy into the world, encourages people, and adds to their community.
To stay so calm under this amount of pressure is almost surreal. I'm glad you found safe landing and made an incredible landing that was smoother than butter. Props to you!
Amazing. Always get so wrapped up rooting for a total stranger. Ecstatic for him.
The sound of an engine dying in a single engine aircraft that close to the ground is utterly terrifying. Yet this man did everything he needed to survive and get the help he needed after landing... which he did flawlessly. Like Larry said below my comment, that's not a student, hell that's not even a pilot, that's an aviator.
Great comment.
Almost flawlessly. He accidentally squawked hijack instead of emergency, but other than that he did great.
@@aaronmdjones did you see how hard his hand was shaking while trying to enter the squawk?
@@ianchandley Yep. What's funny is that you don't realize it when it's happening. When it happened to me, I was able to declare and head for an airport. I was calm as shit in the plane. But as soon as I stepped out on the tarmac, I nearly fell over. My hands were both shaking pretty bad (one of the fire/rescue guys who asked for my ID commented on it) and my knees were buckling for probably 30 minutes. Adrenaline rush and the best feeling you can ever imagine knowing that you possibly prevented death.
The kid did a great job, even nailed the landing, even thought it looked like he's going to nose it into the ground right before he leveled out.
@@aaronmdjones I did catch that. I always remember the old saying, "7-5 someone's inside, 7-6 can't hear shit, 7-7 going to Heaven." Props to him for catching it in the heat of them moment though.

Story of my life.... That's my bean field.
I'm glad he's ok though.

Oh gawd,no muh marijuana patch!
Great work Brian! You handled that perfectly!
Perfectly executed. So impressive, great job working through the nerves

@@mortson978 some youtuber filmed himself crashing a plane on purpose (faking loosing engine power and jumping from it). Had like 5 camera turned on the cockpit and skydiving equipment + a go pro I think. Claimed he survived a terrible incident. Retrieved all footage and what was left of the plane just after he crashed it which you can see on video. It's not on UA-cam anymore. And he could face prison because what he has done is extremely illegal and dangerous.
Brian is such a calm pilot considering the pressure he was under. Well done.
That's probably the difference between a pilot that can take off another time and one that might not.
Too right. His right hand was trembling as he was entering squawk. He managed the scenario like a pro. Communicate status and intent then aviate until safely on the ground.
Solid decisions here. I'd fly with this pilot anytime.
Not a pilot myself, but I have to say this is exactly the type of person who has what it takes to be a great pilot.
@@thomasbonse Very true Thomas. It just shows how important airspeed is and knowing the aircraft you're flying very well.

well hes not just gonna aim to crash into a house and die is he?
Loving the fact that student pilots are allowed to fly over populated areas?
You're smart
@@saibamoe read the message till the end... it's how he gives the information to the ATC I love, not where he is ! Have you ever flown an aircraft? If yes (which I doubt) you'll understand how it's hard to keep calm in the face of difficult situations... I know it well as after nearly colliding with a light aircraft (ULM) who disregarded instructions and safety regulations, I was so stressed that the instructor needed to help me out of the Cessna... my knees were like doing tapdance... I needed a strong drink and a few hours to recover from the situation (I passed about 150 feet under him). That's why I'm so amazed by his apparent calm.
Wrong.. a pro reaction is not to watch fuel level keep dropping and not fix that issue an hour ago
Very well done! I hope to never be in that situation but I’m glad videos like these are posted to learn from.
Incredible composure and quick thinking by the student pilot in this intense situation! The cockpit view and ATC communication add a gripping perspective to this video. Kudos to Brian Parsley for capturing and sharing this crucial learning experience. 🛩

@@markmnorcal Usually having the engine running allows you to land where you intend to with a proper glide slope.
As a CFI I have to say this guy did an amazing job. He deserves his license 1000%.
Concur - he controlled the flight path as priority #1 and followed through all the way to stopping after rollout
Yes, he did. Aviate, navigate, communicate, in that order.
Well yeah but the license covers a lot more than the flying - he might be awful with regulations etc :D But more seriously, he did indeed control the situation impressively well...
@@hivewasp but where I'm from you write the exam fairly early on so when you get to solo flight you should be at least decent with the rest.
Cool, calm,and completely under control. Nice JOB
That was super calm and collected, well done and thank you for sharing 👌
You can sort of imagine what was really going through his mind yet his training kicked in to keep the situation calm and controlled. Very well done.
Way to go kid!!!!
Student Pilot: Totally calm
Me: “OMG, Tower I‘ve lost the &@$&!? engine! I’m going down!”
I always wonder.... what other choice do you really have? Hate to sound cliche but you the master of your own destiny at that point. Throwing your hands in the air isn't really an option. Nerves are nerves and sometimes they just give up but you just gotta try anything at this point.
You can see the stress on his shaking hands, still acted soo cool. If I’m half as cool in an emergency I’ll be good.
@@SimonSez83 This is true, but there are plenty of pilots that have an emergency that they have trained for, and yet buckle under pressure and botch their response to it, leading to injuries and deaths that could have been avoided. Case in point was the widely circulated video a couple years ago with a family in a (probably overloaded) T210 that lost a turbocharger while flying through a high mountain pass. The pilot bypassed several suitable landing spots and kept trying to stretch the glide in order to reach the field he wanted, but stalled it on short final, rolled over and went in nose first. The airplane was destroyed, but luckily the occupants suffered only minor injuries. He could have landed it if he had made better decisions in that short period like this student did.
Omg he put that down like he's been doing it his whole life.
every pilot trains for that.

You could tell his hands were shaking when he was entering the squawk code...can’t blame him. Great job hanging in there Brian! Smooth landing too, given the circumstances. Nice job identifying a field so quickly as well. Well done.
Shaking hands is a byproduct if an adrenaline dump. If you aren't actively using that adrenaline (such as in this case where you're sitting in a plane) it has nowhere to go and causes you to shake.
@@deusvult6920 I would have dumped more than adrenaline!
I wonder who pays for the crops he just shredded... the farmer's insurance, or the pilot?
Not that the pilot cares so long as he gets his rig on the ground and stopped with the wheels down. Well flown, that.

@Jack Thompson Did you miss where he stated that the engine had low oil pressure?
@Jack Thompson It also drops when there's an issue with the engine itself. You are aware of that right?
When I was learning to fly in '73 at the age of 15 my instructor liked to reach down and shut the fuel off so it would be a surprise when the engine quit and then turn it back on after I picked a place and had set up for a landing. The third time he did this we were over a huge salt grass marsh, when the engine shut down and I set up to put it down in the marsh he reach down and turned the fuel back on. The engine didn't fire right back up and he took the controls from me, pumping the throttle to try and start the engine and also getting ready to put it down. When the engine finally came back to life we were able to get enough air speed to climb out about the time the wheels were just starting to clip the higher grass. He quit shutting off the gas after that.

Been flying for 23 years, and man the amount of stress this situation applies on a pilot is insane. Very well done!
Why can't one just restart the engine?
@@infdox9051 depends on what's wrong. Did he forget to open fuel valve? Or did current fuel valve break? It's part of emergency checklist on these planes to switch fuel Valve and start booster pump. But im guessing it was something else that broke.
@@infdox9051 in debrief the guy in the video said that the root cause was - he got out of fuel. So - it's hard to restart the engine without a fuel.
For the longest time, jets were only allowed to cross the Atlantic (non-stop) if they had 4 engines for safety. Only recently with newer planes like 777 with highly efficient engines that can fly on one engine that has changed. Am I correct? So the question is why not ban single engine propeller planes? Make it a law to have at least two?
@@imperialsilver3936 Damn! That must have been really scary. Good thing you guys didn't give up on trying to restart that engine. After so many minutes I might not have tried it anymore, would have been more focused on where to land and survive.
As a former CFI, this guy made everything by the book. He took some time to really grasp the situation he was in, as happens to everyone thats jumped by something like that. He remained calm, navigated, peformed some relight checklists and when realized wasnt able to restart his engine, focused on flying. Aviationship always saves the day.
I'll add to that, he also kept ATC fully up to speed with his developing situation and intentions between aviating and navigating.
As the saying goes: "Aviate, Navigate, Communicate." He did what was needed to stay airborne, had his head on a swivel looking for emergency landing areas, and THEN told the tower what was going on. By the book emergency response, as you said :)
What a compliment to not only him but also his CFI. Great job!
What would you do if there wasn’t any field to land?
@@LordBagdanoff attempt a restart, request for help and in case of a forced off airport landing… pick up the softest spot

@@maxwellmortimermontoure7274 WE have the same name-
@Jack Thompson you kidding me, damn..
@Jack Thompson why would it be intentional and how do they know?
I was so happy at the end. Have a bright future young man.
that was pretty intense to watch. well done sir! smooth landing in a situation like that
Congratulations on the 2021 “Balls of Steel” award.
Titanium balls......the steel would have sunk him sooner. 😉
And brain of mush ... he ran out of fuel.
Look how his hands are shaking. That’s not balls of steel, that’s a very good job of still keeping it together instead of panicking completely.
Watching his hand shaking at 1:12. Adrenaline through the roof for sure. He did a great job remaining calm.
He probably shouldn't have prioritised fiddling with the transponder in this situation... but then again I'm watching from my bed and he's a couple thousand feet in the air with no engines, so kudos to him for not panicking and putting the aircraft down safely.
@@TheMightyHams also a new pilot, so there's that.
watch 0:30
Absolute excelent landing. My buddy took me up not to long ago in a Cessna he is actually training to be a commercial pilot. People dont realize the skill and calmness you have to have to pull this off
Woopee!
Kudos on his calmness, that saved his life!
I must admit, this deadstick landing was PERFECT. How the guy handled the situation calmly, how he picked landing site with a very small amount of time, how he managed to land in a short field. Huge respect!
Came in too steep of an angle. Not perfect at all but not bad either.
@@UTAH100 he had to do it like that, if he didn't he wouldn't have enough room for braking
@@wojtas2524It was not bad- just not perfect. He got it done.
@@UTAH100 actually, it was a perfect approach. Keep in mind that when the engine isn’t running, the approach is going to be steep because without the nose, pointing down, the plane will get to slow and stall.
@@johndoeistaken Ultimately he got it done so I will give him credit for that.
"Roger that." - you're on your own, kid.
Lmao
Were you expecting him to teleport him out or something?
more like , "i have you on secondary radar and i'm sending everything on hand to your location you are not alone"
@@drfilhobarreiros 1:35 maybe you missed it. Here you go.
@@drfilhobarreiros I’m sorry, but ATC is not there to coddle you. You are, in fact, alone. You’re either going to follow your training and make your field or you’re not and there’s not much ATC can do about it other than notify local emergency services and give you the airport if you can make it there
Wow im so impressed with the pilot's demeanor. He stayed calm and handled it perfectly. Any landing you can walk away from is a good one.
well done, no panic picked your spot and an excellent landing!
"That's not flying. That's falling with style" glad you're okay.
love the toy story reference. 26 years old and one of my favorite movies
Troy story bro
When the fan on the front stops blowing, the sweat starts flowing. He did a great job.
You could see when he went to shut down a few things, his hand was shaking so much. He knew it was now or never.
Wtf..
Wow!!! Nicely done! That was terrifying to watch. I’m really happy you were ok.
Landing looked pretty damn good! Good job!
Did anyone notice his small pitch up at the very start when he lost power? Specifically, he was *very* aware of his environment & reacted instantly to arrest his descent EVEN BEFORE he was fully aware that something was gravely wrong. That little maneuver bought him some extra time while he scanned for a field, and helped him set up for an amazing dead-stick landing. Excellent job, Brian!!
I saw it too, but I would guess that he was pitching for best glide speed...
Your first reflex should be pitch DOWN after an engine failure. Amazing landing though. Great work!
@@Mash4096 ehhhhhhhhhhhhh.. situational.
@@Mash4096 if you were in a climb, yes. He was not though. He was trimmed for level I think, and without doing anything the airplane will pitch down enough to maintain speed. In a climb this happens as well, but the nose might drop too slow which might cause a stall (especially if you then turn). Would you also pitch down and Bury it if you have the nose down already?
@@Mash4096 and the underlying principle here is that you should prich for best Glide, which will be higher (soon anyway) if you were climbing, or possibly lower if you were already nose down.
Wow I was worried when he was landing in the field, those trees looked to be coming in quick!
Same
camera distortion.
Well done Amigo ! Cheers to you from Montreal . Québec
His hands were shaking. Good job.
Watching his hand shake made me feel the pressure he suddenly came under, very impressive and cool to see a safe landing.
it's a lot for one person, never fly alone. A second pair of eyes can make the all difference in finding a good spot to land. Always know how far you can glide with your plane if engines stop.
@@johnames6430 Actually he wasn't that confident about how hard will be touchdown on grass as well as how far he can glide. As well, the most terrifying moment was when he did turn to to align himself with a field. He lost so much height lol. That was stressful moment for sure.
@@antonzhdanov9653 yes but most important thing here IMO is to keep the speed up as if you slow down too much you fall out of the sky. Are you able to make out the speed at 2:05 ? He was on full flaps but you can imagine if slowed down too much you spin out and fall straight to the ground. A good example of this is the woman trying to land at Hobby airport in TX. She made too tight of a turn for the speed and well...
@@johnames6430 I don't say he did bad, I say, it was damn close. Now when you mention it, if he did that without ducking lower, he indeed had good chances to send his aircraft into spin and crash
"Holy s--t!" Yeah, that's an understatement. Well done.
That went from hectic emergency to a Swiss picnic in a grassy field within seconds. Nice job!
When flying in single engine plane, always stop by KFC or Subway on way to airport to get food for picnic…. Nobody will be there for at least ten minutes if you are forced to land somewhere and can walk away from it…. Enjoy a picnic while waiting for them, show them what a badass you are when they arrive and you calmly offer them a chicken leg or bag of chips.
With a holy sh!t as a cherry on top
