Student Pilot Loses Engine During Solo Flight And Nails The Emergency Landing
On May 22, Brian Parsley departed Concord, North Carolina in a 1968 Cessna 150J for a “solo long cross-country” flight. At about 2,200 feet above sea level and nine miles from his home airport’s runway, the engine of the Cessna sputtered to a stop. With only 1,500 feet of altitude to work with, there was no chance of making it to the airport, so he took it in for an emergency landing. (jalopnik.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
The pilot as well as his instructors all deserve praise for their combined effort in getting that bird down safely. With only 1500 ft there isn't a lot of room for error and this gentleman nailed the important parts. Hats off to them!
I would fly with Brian , he remained calm and made all the right decisions .
Meeee toooo!
As the old bromides go, "Any landing you can walk away from is a good one; it you can fly the airplane the next day it was excellent."
Words to live bye. Very well said.
Excellent Piloting Skills...
