Considering the alternative, he did well. If you can walk away from it. . . .

Wonder why the video popped up now...it's been floating around on youtube for at least a year.

Cool piloting though.

THis feels incredibly set up. I could be wrong, good job if not.

If it was set up how did they get the a/c out of there?

Hi there, interesting because actually they speak Chinese not Taiwanese.

Are they military guys? Kind of dressed that way. Not much general aviation over there but it looks like a pretty small aircraft for the military.

I suppose a restart could be tried but seeing the prop being still makes mechanical failure come to mind as they usually windmill. But, a prop can be stopped by getting close to the stall. And it might be one of those Rotax type of engines and I am not sure what happens with them.

Camera guy had confidence in his pilot who flew cool as cucumber.

Once they were safe, pilot added up possible expenses and got a little angry for a second.
