Emergency Landing 

Good job Pilot. Don’t stop until you find the issue.

Really nicely handled. Good job.

Wait, *no issues* found after that amount of sound? Nah fam, I'm not flying in that until something is found.

She cracked me up at 2:06 when she said "that propeller thing" and completed the description with a whirl of her finger. Good job and happy the two of you landed safely.

Handled it like a pro. Loved it how you kept your calm while dealing with an emergency.

Glad you guys were only doing patterns! ✌️

Sounded like the motor threw a rod. Pull the oil filter and look for shiney stuff. Well done with that emergency landing. Cool and collected.

Better to have failed the parking than the landing. Good job bringing it in.

It’s really good to have someone technically savvy flying with you when you have a problem. “That whirly round thing at the front”……….😂

Good job. She's a good passenger, too.

I saw a documentary once…… a four engine piston airplane took off….a strange sound was heard. An unexplained banging that didn’t make sense. The pilots became so distracted, they forgot to fly the airplane. They wound up crashing the airplane! The post crash investigation,discovered a small fuel door on the outside of the aircraft was not fastened well. It began to ‘flap’ back-and-forth causing the banging sound they heard!! This pilot heard something similar, but was smart enough to fly the plane and land!!! Number one rule…….fly the airplane!! Glad he made it through this very same situation!!!

Beautiful. Hope I'm that calm and collected when it happens to me.

Nicely done. If you find out what the problem was, please post an update. Thanks!

Great job!

Great job under pressure! And nice tee shirt.

Probably a loose panel or hinged access door somewhere.

GREETINGS FROM A PILOT FROM CHILE. YOU DID A VERY GOOD JOB. HAT OFF

That was a well executed "Impossible Turn!" How is that Possible, you ask? They had sufficient Airspeed & Altitude & They had some engine power remaining, The Engine had not completely failed. In this scenario, the "Impossible Turn" IS Possible. Plus, He did the most important things in The Proper Order. He (1) AVIATED (2) NAVIGATED (3) COMMUNICATED... I believe that this was an Uncontrolled Airport, so He Announced His Intentions To Land using The Downwind Runway 08. Assuming that the Active Runway Was 26, Any Other Aircraft In His Area Should Have Been Aware That They Were Executing An Emergency Landing, because They Were Landing On The Inactive Runway. What's most important is that neither of them Panicked! People Who Panic make mistakes that could be fatal! WELL DONE!!!

You just succesfully completed a nise imposible turn. Good video.

Well handled! 😊

Well done

Almost sounds like the flame tube in the exhaust pipe came loose or something. Great landing!

Nice and safe landing.

That engine propeller thingy.

As your girl says, you did very well! Nicely done.

Oh he got some that night for sure 😎 🤣

Since No fault found with the engine , can you post a video of the gauges? Noticed you had a cam point towards the front. Usually a lot of vibration is common with the rough sounding sounds you had on this video, in your case everything seemed smooth

Well you guys were wearing your seatbelts, but I'm afraid the outside of the airplane was also doing the same. Sometimes a bit of the tightening strap makes its way out the door when you're closing it. You did a great job with the altitude you had to work with but remember... First thing find a place to land (in this case the impossible 180 was possible) then check engine gauges then communicate then if everything with the engine looks good and its still running, kick the rudder around to see if it stops with different slip streams... if it does, its the seatbelt.

The little bit of sound I heard in the video immediately sounded like a sticking valve. Then it subsequently unstuck after you're down and began the what-was-that investigation. Have you had an A&P check all the valves for lead buildup?

Sounded like the typical Lycoming lifter (sticky valve) issue, research as I know ya wanna know... Watch for brass from the valve guide and add some additive if okayed by AP. IMHO...

Nice job. Cool as a cucumber.

👏👏👏👏👏

Nice job. First priority is to fly the plane and stay calm. Follow your training. Once, while flying with my father in his C-120, a mag went out just after takeoff. Engine was banging away and I was thinking we were going into the corn field. My father calmly reached over and flipped off one of the mag switches. Power returned and we landed safely. Scared the stuff right out of me though.

Power On LOTOT Turnback.. from about 500 agl.. Well done..

very good hand job

i see a rear camera facing forward, instruments? low oil and high aot cause oil starvation? ide check that filter, sounded mechanical

sounded like a peanut got stuck in the squirrel's exercise/power wheel.

Nice tg and land

Cool as a cucumber.

I'd be interested to see the sectional of that airport. Not real fond of all the water around it. Anyhow, nice job.

You still didn’t lose your engine so wasn’t too bad.

Good Job! Is there a follow-up as to the nature of the problem?

Why did he not switch the engine off once they were on the ground? Further damage would most likely occur during the taxi process

Mmmmmmmm he never heard the stall horn but hears a sound before it even occurs..she looks in the back...nothing there to make noise....he says were are gonna have to land but continues to climb...never calls a mayday....idk

What ... was ... the ... problem??!!! (Inquiring minds want to know!!!) I'm glad the two of you are safe on terra firma, though: THAT is the important thing!

Island Home Knoxville Tn.

I know that shirt. WPSftw.

Basta selfie?😅

Never ceases to amaze me how some people are totally addicted to a phone.

Why did you not call a mayday?

Nicely staged. ;)

Wtf Thx For Click bait😂

Not cool.

Never engage the machine gun below 3000’.

Well done
