Raw video: Emergency landing on highway - 2:20
A young pilot showed nerves of steel when his engine cut out and managed to land his Cessna on a highway east of Montreal. Plane brave: Trainee pilot emergency lands aircraft in rush hour traffic http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1381026/Plane-brave-Trainee-pilot-emergency-lands-aircraft-rush-hour-traffic.html (en.video.canoe.tv) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
@Daniel Baker-If I am in the same air space as the pilot having an emergency and possibly broadcasting on an emergency frequency, I SHOULD be able to understand what is being said. I may be able to offer assistance or ar least stay out of the way. I recently had to get a new FAA certificate that states "English Proficient" even though I was born in the USA and am a US Citizen. ATC is not the only people on the airwaves!
@paulwarman - For radio transmissions, English is an option that is required to be available to pilots, but there is nothing requiring pilots to make use of that. Any other mutually understood language is equally acceptable. Certainly if both parties (pilot/ATC) can speak their native language, that is preferable.
I always thought that the language of Aviation was English.
What`s his name I`ll fly with him when he`s working for Air Canada.
i bet that he had his fuel selector valve on the right or left tank
I'm surprised the cars on the other side didn't drive off the road watching him go by. Hats off to you bud, your friends owe you a beer, unless you left the carb heat off...... ;-)
