i didn't think people survived forced landings like that! especially when contact is made with trees!
good for you man
The other day i took a risk and got away with it. It was my first solo cross country (for my PPL) and when i did my runup, i noticed that my alternator charge was at zero. I tried turning on the pitot heat and the needle didn't even flinch. I thought of all the other times the guages in this ****ty aircraft have caused problems and decided to ignore it. Right choice, aparently the guage is broken.
Second mistake was when i was departing my destination airport to go back home, i forgot completly to do my runup
when i got back home i found the transponder on stdby
god i don't know how i forgot that!
