My instructor was an ag pilot - believe he went back to it after training me
On a practice forced landing in a PA28 - I didn't have any flap out as I had misjudged the approach and I also missed the powerlines about 50 metres before the fenceline I was trying to clear. I admitted my f...kup and was about to go round when the Instructor took over - we went under the powerlines and then he pulled on the flaps and we ballooned over the fence for what would have been a great forced landing, powered up and off for another attempt. It certainly showed me that the same old routine can be altered to achieve the desired result.
