😂...one way of looking at it! So was this a dead stick landing🤔...let me finish watching...

i'd be sweating like that guy from Airplane! (1980) meme.

Yep. He was not thinking about direction at that moment and neither would I have.

Ain’t no tower at Morningstar 😎

I don't think he was talking about the tower, I think he was talking about the other airplanes in the area. And if you are doing an about-face suddenly and heading back to the airport it is kind of important to report your position to the other aircraft, especially when they are asking. That being said, he understood that and pointed it out.

And the black boxes aren’t actually black but orange. Come on with saturating these videos with aviation cliches already!

@@hepphepps8356 - stop spoiling everyone’s fun 🤣🤣🤣

Yeah, and he barely did anything to console her... strange.

@@dangerous8333 Would you rather a pilot console you because you cant control your emotions, or have him focus on landing the plane and actually not dying? lmao

@@dangerous8333 strange that he shouldnt focus on landing the plane... safely? Thats probably what was solely on his mind.... dont be a douche

@@madison69 exactly, first rule - fly the damn airplane at first

@@dangerous8333 The actions of both souls on that aircraft were flawless.

My chief flight instructor says this all the time!

Love that Quote.👊👍

I was lucky to be RAF trained. They made sure we knew we were shit hot; our equipment, top notch; our support staff ditto. You HAVE to believe NOTHING is a hard problem......I was the only one from our Squadron to be given a Permanent Commission in GD(P), the highest paid branch of the British armed forces. The only one to paint his bone dome (bright red!), and flew more hours than anybody else...."Red formation, rolling, rolling, GO!" Haring down the runway, your lead the ONLY thing in your life; 2ft away. Super fun. we even taxied in formation doing S turns as we flew taildraggers. In the evening, destroying the Mess, and nothing EVER said!

US navy seals quote

My first time hear that quote, instantly wrote it down, thanks!!!

Ya. Nothing worse than screaming women to make it that much worse.

She did act like a pro 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

@@sweetkitty2798 lol

Sweet Kitty would have shat its pants.

She did awesome. Being a passenger in many ways has to be worse in an emergency. She did exactly what she was told to do and didn’t freak out.

Thank you, I can only praise good training and an attitude of always learning (and a good measure of luck).

btw, that is the very reason for this video. So that other pilots can learn from the good and the bad.

Just be smoother on the stick. This guy was having a Parkinsons moment, while taking off...substance? Or mental?

...I can relate to this.....everything was so 'casual' back then....so 'regimented' now.....I used my own airplane to learn on so I was very familiar with it when I had my engine failure...I became even more familiar with it when I learned how the fuel system worked...haha.....

North Perry airport seems to have a black cloud around it!

I live near you or Hollywood atleast. Still have your license? Were you scared? Sounds like you handled it great for a newbie

@@jd2161 I have a lot of Irish in me and when the engine quit I clearly recall saying, "You son of a bitch!"...I radioed the tower with my "Mayday" and what I was about to do....They radioed back but all I recall saying was, "NOT NOW !" ...I was so focused on clearing a billboard and the wires there really was no space for fear in my brain....When I rolled to a stop, a van drove up to me and the guy (an air radio operator on his way to work) told me he saw the whole thing and didn't think I had a hope in hell of clearing the powerlines.....His conversation distracted me and calmed me down.....It never sank in until later that evening just what a close shave I'd had, mostly due to all the activity that took place getting through the parking lot and around to the proper side of the tower....Needless to say, there were a lot of airport workers around helping me 'cause they'd never seen anything like what happened before.....This happened in the 1970's and, as you can tell, the details are pretty firmly etched in my memory...I had been photographing lakes and fall colours to the north just prior to this event, the pictures are in an album.....I flew out of the Sault Ste. Marie federal airport until 1979 then moved to the west coast of Canada, where I am to-day....I haven't flown since 1985 when a hot shot air force pilot crashed my 'plane ..

@@jd2161 I no longer live in South Florida. I haven't flown for several years now. I don't remember being scared. I was too busy concentrating on making the runway and keeping the stall warning horn quiet. The main thing I remember was the deafening quiet. That and the joy of touching down.

She ride or die 😂

I'm sure she was very calm.

@@auralplex She was understandably terrified, but stayed cool. Well done all around. The pilot is doing what he needs to do to maintain airspeed and maneuver to the field, which probably didn't feel so calming from the passenger seat.

Wow that sounds sketchy, probably a better landing then most😁

What airline?

Exactly! You kept posting captions about missing radio calls and I just kept saying, "That's okay. Communicating is third on the list!"

Ive heard that before;" plane on the ground and everyone alive = good landing

I don't like that saying. So you can have a hard landing 20 feet off the centerline, 1000' beyond the touchdown markers, lock up the brakes and set off the ELT and call it a "good landing"?

Yeah, that is very true.

Thank you, I really hope so two.

Pax?

@@arturarruda8151 In aviation "Pax" is short for "passenger".

Classic example of someone wanting to state the obvious. I know it feels good to sound knowledgeable.

@@hepphepps8356 knowledgeable or not, I think this can't be mentioned enough...

Thank you, she was in fact much more distressed than what you can see in the video which is why I used the back camera more otherwise she would not allow me to post the video. 🙂

Awesome! Well done, fly the plane!
