From the pictures on the news he did a good job, like the impact mark on the carpark, clearly showing the entire bottom of the aircraft and both skids.
No wonder the tail broke off. I've heard the skids can take a lot of punishment and a lot of the impact, but this takes the cake.
Once more cringe-worthy news coverage- hats off to the pilot but I'm sure the "heroic" avoidance of the cars in the carpark was in fact- OH C&*P the engine has failed, look,there's a flat place to crash..
Don't get me wrong- an excellent job. Having taught EOLs in similar aircraft, an unalerted real one in that situation would have been tough.
