That was a cool video. I'm glad they made down safe, kinda surprised how calm they were. -
Yeah just a few things I dont get about that video.. the length of time it takes him to try and restart after the first stall, you never really notice him talking on the radio. He restarts and then turns back RIGHT away for a populated area, when he could have circled an empty field for a few min to make sure it would stay running.PornGuy skype me pornguy_epic

I'm not a pilot so this is just a guess but it looks like they were flying fairly low, probably so the guy with the camera could get some good aerial shots. It was less than a minute between the first failure and landing so I'd say he didn't really have much choice, he had to consider landing immediately.Yeah just a few things I dont get about that video.. the length of time it takes him to try and restart after the first stall, you never really notice him talking on the radio.

I'm an ex air traffic controller and a pilot. The first thing you do in an emergency, is fly the fucking plane. There is really no point in spending your time talking to an air traffic controller that absolutely cannot help you with the emergency that you are having.Yeah just a few things I dont get about that video.. the length of time it takes him to try and restart after the first stall, you never really notice him talking on the radio.

Do whatever you have to do to handle your situation, and worry about talking on the radio last because in an emergency, your first priority is fly the plane. You can talk on the radio after you land.Comment

This is what I thought exactly. If you are trying to save your ass why would you be on the radio, they were already at a low alt and didn't have time nor anyone to do it for him. If you are careening out of control in you car you do not get on the phone to call somebody. GFY Experts on Everything hard at work...I'm an ex air traffic controller and a pilot.

Looking at it again he did the second restart pretty late... if it came up and seemed to be working, then failed, he wouldn't have had any height margin left? Then again perhaps even a few sec gave some extra needed lift... I'm no pilot.

it was hard to tell if he lowered his flaps, but i think he might have before he tried to restart the engine which is why there was such a pause between failure and first restart..
i used to fly and first rule of engine failure is maintain your airspeed..Comment

About a month ago we had a small plane land on a street near us as well. What was fairly interesting was that even though it is a 4 lane street with traffic in each direction. The drivers of the cars seemed to take notice that the plane was approaching and everyone pulled their cars to the side of the road to allow for the plane to land in the road. Everyone was fine and the pilots knew they could not reach the airport which was about 2 miles away (well maybe a little less than a mile by air).Comment

I dont even use airports, I just takeoff in my backyard field and land on the nearest road. The cops get pissed and I've caused 4 accidentsComment
