A student suffered an engine failure and after declaring a MAYDAY put down in a field. He then cancelled the emergency, gave his position and asked for engineers. Two QFIs on a mutual thought they would go and survey the scene. On circling the site, they both remarked "Good effort, how on earth did he get into that tiny field?"
They decided to go and visit him and discuss the way he had dealt with the situation. First approach ended up in an overshoot as did the second. Finally, the senior QFI elected to have a go. Completely blew it and ended up inverted in a wood on the overshoot. Student Pilot puts out another MAYDAY and runs to the stricken aircraft. After dragging the two, godlike to him, instructors out of the aircraft (who are uninjured) one says to him, "How the fcuk did you manage to land in this tiny field?"
Our hero replies, "I didn't. I landed in that field over there and bounced into this one!"
You have no idea how much I would like to have seen their faces!!
