Commercial pilot and CFI Greg Soter reflects on an emergency landing near Birdseye, Utah, in June of 2013, after discovering an electrical fire in the back of the Cessna 172 he was flying. In this Real Pilot Story, Greg discusses his decision to land on a road, a factor that would have a significant impact on the flight’s outcome.
We examine critical lessons learned and the difficult decisions pilots make in an emergency when faced with limited landing options.
ASI’s Real Pilot Stories allow pilots to share their encounter with a dilemma so others can benefit-while comfortable on the ground-from lessons learned the hard way in flight.
