Successful Forced Landing after Engine Failure: GoFly Online
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 бер 2020
- Kyle was looking forward to recording his first solo navigation flight when he set up his new camera in the plane. He could not have anticipated that he would end up filming his own emergency landing. We are sharing this forced landing video to show you how safe the Sling aircraft is and how well Kyle reacted under pressure.

I work for a major airline. I’m also a flight instructor. I would be honored to have this young man grace any flight deck that I’m on. C152 to the Boeing 787!
Son, you’ve got the “right stuff”!
dude, Ryanair makes rougher landing than this on smooth runway even with both engines . Kyle absolutely nailed it and was very smooth too...
Airliners actually want "rougher" landings so the tires get good grip and the landing gets shorter and therefore safer.
Off-landings always have component of luck. You can't tell from distance how the surface is when you're making decision on where to put the plane down, might be soft and just plowed, nose wheel sinks in and you go over or might be hard and smooth which is almost like dirt runway.
@@szience Not true at all, airline pilots try to make the landing as smooth as humanly possible
@@bbs5400 also not entirely true
@@Alexander-hk5ke Definitely entirely true, as long as they're transporting passengers and not cargo, cargo is a different story
"...okay, that's how you go down I guess." Nice work man and cool as a cucumber!
cool as a cucumber. Imma steal that
He may still be a student, but it appears that Kyle's got some of the Right Stuff. Well done!
Cheers Kyle for keeping your wits about you in a stressful situation. GoFly, this video should be mandatory viewing for all your students. Keys to surviving an in-flight emergency: 1) Stay Calm!!!, 2) Fly the Plane, and 3) Work the problem. Bravo!
Thanks for your feedback 😊
He stuck that landing like a gymnast - 10 out of 10!
For a student, i could give this 2 thumbs up on the forced landing, great job Kyle! Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome!
That's quite a story and an honest testimony to how well you taught your student for all kinds of situations.
Thank you
This man's composure is amazing. He was extremely lucky that day. Everything went right in my book. Great job.
Nicely done and wise to share the story. Thanks for that.
Thanks for your feedback
What a cool dude. Absolutely calm, wonderful execution.
Their are pilots and then their are PILOTS, you sir are a PILOT!
Isn't it weird how calm this type of experience can be knowing that you may die in just a few moments, just sitting there and waiting for the touch down.
Wonderful execution of PIC duties.
I'm up to about 80 paddock landings so far, you did good! Once you've done a few it gets easier and you'll be more relaxed about it. Here's how glider pilots do it:
- At about 2000' AGL you should know where a good landing area is roughly.
- At about 1000' AGL the exact field should be selected, and you should know the wind direction. Ideally you choose a field that is big enough (obviously!), confirm the slope, surface (I prefer grass fields rather than plowed but depends on the area), no stock on it, Ideally have a back up paddock beside it incase your chosen one has a fence through it. They can be hard to see.
- Do a circuit around the field. This lets you confirm the slope of the field from the side, and the wind direction. You can't see that from above. Check for fences, stock etc. again. Do your downwind checks. Critical: keep your speed up, regularly check it, especially if it's windy and turbulent near the ground.
- Use the angle to the airfield as your guide, and make your circuit tighter if you are getting too low, and bigger if you are too high. The circuit size will be smaller than a normal power plane circuit, and even smaller than a glider, as your glide ratio isn't as good as a glider.
- Land as normal as possible. Bit different if you normally have an engine of course! Have a decent length finals. Landing flaps. You could use side slip if needed as a way to increase the descent rate if you don't have air brakes like a glider. A steeper approach is better as you wash off more energy as you flare.
- On touchdown the goal is to stop as soon as possible, to avoid hitting a rabbit hole or the end fence :) use your wheel brakes, don't coast to be closer to the fence for example.
- Phone base and send them your location electronically, so they can find you easily.
- Find the land owner, apologise and explain what happened. Get permission to drive onto the property. Always leave gates as you find them. Never had a grumpy one yet :)
I don't know how much of this is appropriate for non-glider pilots, but this is how we train to do it in gliders in New Zealand. I should make a video about it...
Please do make a video on this. I am always open to learn how the other half lives.
I have been flying since 1979 and a pilot since I was 18 in 1987. I am very pleased to say you have had far more excitement than I ever have. I hope to keep it that way.
You did a great off airport no power landing without flaps on fresh plowed ground.
First off Kyle did an amazing job! I'm a 40 hour student pilot and I don't think I could have remained as calm. But someone did not setup the avionics correctly in this plane. With Dynon if the primary alternator failed the Rotax would auto switch to Standby Alt. then through an audible alarm and display on screen..... if the standby alt. was lost a voltage drop would through the voltage alarm still giving 20 to 30 minutes of flight time to land. Three systems were lost and alarms should have been going off like crazy so Kyle wouldn't have been put in this position. I hope things have been sorted and glad Kyle kept his cool to fly another day. This was completely preventable.
thats exactly what I was thinking. I don't know the plane but I figured it wouldn't solely rely on one alternator
I'm currently on the same course as you and when I thought I've seen every single incident on UA-cam this just pops up. It should have broken the internet because you absolutely nailed it and this is precisely what we all think is going to happen to us as nav students. Thank you so much, Kyle. Also what a boss you are handling this. Then when you land you just sit up and start chilling on your phone. You are the student we need to all watch. I hope this also serves as reason for flight schools to start filming all flights and creating training scenarios for students. I hope I make the same decisions you did when this eventually happens to me. Thank you for this footage.
This video should be promoted and used globally in all flight schools.
So glad he was ok. And thanks for being brave enough as a flying school to share with all of us. One of my fears as a student is how I would deal with a bad situation.
You're welcome Dan. We thought it would be useful to show others.
Your a Medic. I wouldn’t expect anything less from you. We’re trained to deal with life and death situation, and we deal with them on every shift. You stayed calm and fallowed your training. Job well done.
this is incredible! Well done to Kyle. I have my skydiving license (looking to get my PPL) and I've had a malfunction before. Serious line twists, where I ALMOST had to cut the parachute away (thank god I got out of them). At first you panic, bad. Realizing how serious of a situation is, but then your training kicks in, and you go through the procedures. Kyle is the perfect example of this. If you ever are in an emergency, in any situation, it is paramount that you keep calm. You're stronger than you think!
Very commendable for a school to show the other end of the extreme, rather than just the flights that go right. Kyle handled that exceptionally well, and was obviously trained brilliantly by his GoFly instructors.
What a amazing ditching on the field, Couldn't have gone better, He Aviated, Navigated, Communicated and kept a cool head throughout the entire emergency.
Love the way he stopped and then continued to talk to the camera.... :-) And as a student that was a stunning video.
Thanks so much for your feedback 😊👍
Nordo, engine out, who wouldn't have a moment of pause. You worked the problem. Never quit flying while trouble shooting. Well done.
You talk about staying cool, and calm when stuff goes south!! Goodness…. What’s even better is that he continues to fly!! Great job my friend!!!!
Dude handled that like a soldier! And thank you so much for videos like this, they are so helpful.
this is some excellent piloting man! i’m thoroughly impressed. LITERALLY just flew my first forced landing training flight about 2 hours ago so I know exactly how difficult it is to pull off what you just did. kudos!
This guy was a calmest guy ever in a situation like this love his attitude love his video 💙
Amazing airmanship and calmness with so low hours.
Well done sir!
Well done. Something we train for and hope never happens. Outstanding control (both of the aircraft and emotions) during a stressful event. Something we can all learn from. Again, well done.
Thank you for uploading this. A student of mine told me about it and I found it a great example of what to do should one inadvertently find themselves in IFR conditions. With or without a filed flight plan. You remained calm (at least on the outside ;)) and worked the problem. In short, you did what you needed to do as soon you recognized the circumstances: aviate, navigate, communicate. And both those with and without an instrument rating can benefit from it. Well done.
Dude, amazing. You should be a surgeon. Nerves of steal. You acted so calm and professional. Wow! Congrats for a spectacular emergency (and safe) landing.
First, awesome job. I'm going through flight training now. And my biggest fear is that I'll freeze up if something happens. This story gives me the confidence in my instructor and the training I'm receiving. Airmanship is key, and you demonstrated what taking a second to gather your thoughts will do. Congrats on making all the right calls! I'm incredibly impressed with your humility, and taking this as a learning experience. Great flight school too!!
Just started learning to fly, thank you for creating this video and sharing this, what a great learning experience for all of us!
This is the absolute best video I've seen on a forced landing event. Extremely well done.
Congrats Kyle on having successfully plowed three short rows! Nicely done.
Cool as ice.Been there, done that. Good to see another pilot work the checklist, talk himself down and stick with the basics, Aviate, Navigate, Communicate. Good job mate.
What a great learning video and a great testament to his instruction and his overall calmness and demeanor. It was a great idea to take a deep breath or two and go to his training. Awesome job Kyle.
Great job! I had the same thing happen to me in a Cherokee so I know how difficult it is to maintain composure. Well executed!
Nice job, mate. Thanks for sharing the story.
Watching this and almost as relieved as you were when you made that perfect landing. Great job.
That was freaking Butter man!... with everything going on all at once and still manages a buttery smooth landing on rough terrain man's got skills, skills taught by the best teachers no doubt
He performed great in a stressful situation.
Excellent job! I have flown the Sling 2 and fly a Tecnam with the Rotax 912 now. We all hope to be as cool as you were. Congrats!
Establish best glide speed, find a spot and commit to it. Resist impulsivity. Execute a soft field landing if applicable. Crack door open. Great landing Sir.
“That’s how you go down I guess” haha gold
Well done young man!! You controlled your fear and remembered to fly the plane all the way to a successful emergency landing. 👍🏾
How on earth did her remain so cool?!! I guess that’s why he managed to execute such a great off airport landing!
Preparation. As a new pilot, I recognised I work well on flow charts and quick reference cards in critical incidents; if commercial pilots can use it in CRM, so can I. I made my own QRH.
@@kyleyoung69420 I love how pilots just have to use abbreviations when they probably spend more time capitalizing their abbreviations
Nicely done! Always great to see a good outcome, after an emergency. Thanks for sharing.
Outstanding! Thanks for sharing.
Excellent job flying the plane! So when the DPE ask “what would you do if the engine quit now” , you can just show him your video:)
Totally screwed the pooch.
What a great video…thanks for the way you have presented this Aviation story!
Fantastic job prepping this new pilot to handle this scenario SO well. And for sharing the results.
Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it.
Very well done, brother. God bless you
Well done Kyle and thank you for sharing
Great job working the problem and finding a solution.
well done. As he landed I felt a relief almost like I was sitting on the right seat...
Well done with the landing mate. Incredible effort, and glad to see you’re safe! Just about to start learning forced landings and this has inspired me to know them inside and out. Great job.
Enjoyed watching that. You all did a great job
Brilliant work man!!! I’m currently getting my private pilot license and watching this was inspiring!
Great job! Glad you are OK.
Keep flying until the flying is over ... nicely done.
Smoother than any paddocks I've ended up in good to see how you didnt get too nervous until it was time to I can relate to that nice job mate
Outstanding!
Wow, perfection mate. Glad you got down safely. What an experience.
Excellent flying . This young man has a great future ahead of him .
Bravo!! You sir, have earned your wings over and over. Very impressive. 🙏
very impressive landing. well done, even more impressive, his first solo flight!!! keep flyin bro!
13:32 deep breath , that fresh air had to taste wonderful. Congrats
Great video! Thank you
Glide ratio is king. Although google says sling 2 is only 1:10. Sea Avio Risen UL is 1:23. Handy in a power outage. And always basically. I believe it directly translates to fuel economy.
Parachute might also be handy in rough terrain.
I would have been SO unhinged that this video would have NEVER seen the light of day... Good Job.
Well done Kyle, good management
Currently undergoing my RPL and just gotta say this video was very inspiring. Great job handling that forced landing. Learned heaps.
Thanks for your feedback and all the best with your training😊
Wow. Amazing. Calm collected and focused! Excellent piloting skills. Work the problem, don’t create another or a worsen the current problem. Great job! Clear Skies and Safe Landings sir.
Amazing job. Way to keep your cool! That’s the key in these emergency situations.
Great video report on this incident. Kudos to the pilot. Thanks for sharing!
I am a licensed privateilot in the US. I would fly with you ANY day! You did better than I could.have done.
I would hope not, if you are in fact a licensed pilot. You should do no worse than that otherwise you’re a risk to everyone that you fly over every time you get into an airplane. Truth
I can feel where he’s coming from. I had an engine failure on my downwind but couldn’t make the field due to obstructions so had to put it down in a soft field. Hit a median in the field and nose collapsed destroying the plane but we were uninjured. Lessons learned that day but I no longer worry about engine failure as I know I can do it again if I need to.
He looked as cool as ever. Good job.
Beautiful landing, as best as your gonna get in this situation.
Nicely done.
Great work, nice and smooth!
Awesome job bro I got goosebumps watching this I’m a private pilot 16 years and never had a engine fail and hope not because I would be ditching in water and not landing .. I live in the Bahamas
Done beautifully !
Brilliant job!
beautiful landing
Very nice job! Pilot fine, aircraft fine, perfect landing. I hope i never will face a situation like that, but if,...i hope honestly to do it like you did....clear skies and happy landings.
Kudos, you remained calm all the time 👍👌
Outstanding flying Kyle! Great work!
Great video and nicely handled Kyle. As a newly qualified pilot Ive thought about how I would handle a similar situation and this was a good lesson.
Great result
I am in total awe. Fantastic outcome. Fantastic attitudes, training and procedures. Fantastic production values too - loved that the camera could be panned around and motion stabilised, well edited and great audio. Congrats to Kyle and the team at GoFly!
Thank you for your feedback 😊
Wow, fantastic story and great piloting! My Dad had an alternator failure in a 182 leaving Logan in Boston, MA, USA to Syracuse, at night. When he realized he was loosing electrical power, he hit the transponder before all went dark. This was the first time he had brought with him a portable receiver and was able to determine that the tower had received his trouble code and cleared him to land. He was fortunate that the engine did continue running. The alternator had mechanically failed and in the process, shorted out and killed the battery. Yay mag ignitions!
very cool and proffesional reaction. Bravo
Amazing
Nice landing and way to go on staying focused and calm
Dude.... I am proud of you. That was ace.
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for such a great flight!
