Convinced they have more than just grass stains on that plane...

You and me both, man. You and me both. There must have been angels holding that plane up, because it sure wasn't horsepower or airspeed.

they could probably count the stains in the seats to verify the number of occupants. damn

No damage, except for the hole the pilots ass bit in the seat 😂

@ditch6389 Ай бұрын

Well, hopefully there was a very good lesson learned here. Remember, there are bold pilots and there are old pilots but, there are no old bold pilots.

This guy/gal is very lucky. Even on a simulator, it is very hard to fly at 10k+ altitude mountains on Cessna. I think the plane must be complimented, as these Cessna's are one of the best and hence used for training.

Stalling in an airplane is Stall of Lift not engine stalling. It will just fall with out a maneuver to regain airflow speed over the wings. Pilot did a fantastic job. Plane was under powered for that kinda terrain

That’s why altitude is a pilots best friend. Lots of room to recover from…

Well a Cessna 150/152 is a two-seat airplane. Not sure if pilot had one passenger in there with him.

I will never _ever_ fly again in a Cessna 152... way too small and under powered.

@user-nk4td9bg6w Ай бұрын

@nickwinn You are totally wrong sir! This is 100% pilot error Mountain flying (this) requires a whole other level of planning and precision compared to your regular guy flying above flat farmland! Cessna 152 up in the mountains is not the best choice though

@nickwinn Ай бұрын

@@user-nk4td9bg6w What specifically in my statement is wrong? I will _never_ fly in a 152 again. My very first flight hour was logged in a 152, kept bumping elbows and shoulders with the instructor, it's way too small and in my experience, under powered compared to the 172R. I never said anything about fault but do agree it was pilot error.

@Dan007UT Ай бұрын

@@nickwinn agreed. 152's are probably best with only 1 pilot at sea level lol

@Trail_Trash Ай бұрын

@@Dan007UT I trained at Truckee Tahoe airport and they did not have any 152's on the line, 172 was the minimum trainer

@user-nk4td9bg6w Ай бұрын

you all must be pretty accomplished pilots if a 152 is not up to your standards 😅 I'll take a 152 any day, especially an aerobat bouncing off the guy next to you is just the way she goes with affordable planes lol
