I think that sound blocking the engine is bad. Yeah a qyiet cabin, but you can not hwar the engine performance for anything different other than normal.
Good job of going straight and landing it in front of you instead of trying the impossible turn. The partial engine failure is the most dangerous one after fire. That's why we have to do AQP more and anticipate every second on takeoff that we will have a failure. That anticipation would put you down on the runway whenever that failure happened first time.
No crashlanding. Good emergency landing. But the date you gave doesn't make any sense. it is spelled 23.10.2012 correctly. that's how it's spelled right in the world.
The best decision was to put it down the moment you hear the engine do strange noises , on the cross runway . you got luck it didn't stop on the trees !
100% excellent job putting the bird down like you did. Dummies that only fly airplanes in video games will nitpick but it's different when you can literally die. You did damn good sir.
Dude was hyperventilating, but damn sure handled it better than a pro. Great job. I'm not a pilot,but when I was a kid, my dad would let me pilot his 150 from the left side,take it off. 10 years old. lol A 150 might be a bit easier to possibly turn,but with no power, you HAVE to lose a ton of altitude while giving up some speed which you can use to get the distance you need to find the spot to put her down. Not a pilot, but I would guess with a single engine, and this is a 182 which is a Cadillac,heavy beautiful luxury single engine, without big altitude,I think you owe it to your life to look forward,not behind for a patch to lay her down. Also, curious, 150,172 bit lighter plane, would there be a certain altitude to attempt the impossible turn ? Heavier the plane,more the need for alt ?
Yea see engine failure and spins are the reason I quit FS. I have major trust issues 😂. Btw I heard your engine having issues with consistent power rotations (0:44-1:06) while you went over the checklist yet you still took off.
These videos don't really do the speed they're going justice. It takes a decent speed to achieve liftoff, and it's much more obvious when you're sitting in that little cockpit, just how FAST you're actually scooting along lol.... it definitely makes for a terrifying situation if you're then forced to put all of that speed and momentum back onto the ground in some random location that could easily lead to a nasty crash.... But I'd say he handled it pretty darn well!! :))
I could FEEL him fighting the urge to turn into a left bank while still over the airport rather than ride it level over the tree tops to the field and manage what energy he had left for a rough but survivable landing. Many pilots would have banked left in order to line up with a taxiway or runway and stalled in the process .. dropping like a rock and dying of blunt force trauma. This is the GA pilot you can trust your life with. Well done!
This is a great example of the benefits of sharing flight issues with others. It’s been years since this was uploaded and it’s still being viewed and discussed by new and experienced pilots. Whether it occurs due to pilot mistakes or not, sharing it and saving others is far more beneficial than saving ego.
I would say there was nothing about this emergency that could be called a "Crash Landing".. The whole incident, from the initial engine issue, until you stopped rolling, was a brilliant piece of flying and the damned thing stayed on it's wheels regardless of it's off country excursion.. Yes, I'm a tad late with the viewing but anyhow - Well done that man..
Continued flying and landed 👍😎 Reference ntsb report of a Grumman American fatality in Patterson, Louisiana. Pilot was busy with a conversation and forgot to fuel his aircraft. Engine quit just over the airport fence. He attempted a u-turn and stalled it in the dirt. No fuel smell or post crash fire. There was a gravel service road he could have landed on that would have been little or no damage to the plane ahead of him had he maintained heading and just landed. I’ve seen a few videos where turning back was ultimately successful but at great risk, one of which you hear the stall warning horn throughout most of the video. Thanks for sharing. Happy motoring 😎
That wasn't a crash landing. A forced landing, yes. A crash landing, no. My guess is that you've never operated off a paved runway before. I used to land on non-airport fields, dirt roads, dry lakes, even a slag pile, all for the challenge and pure fun in my old Cessna 175 STOL. Also flew and towed gliders. I'd recommend that every power plane pilot get some glider instruction to make themselves a better pilot, especially if your engine quit. Glider flying makes you more aware of your surroundings, what the air is doing as related to lift and sink, where to look for lift, and you definitely wouldn't be getting so excited if the engine quit. Makes you think.more clearly.
