pretty sure that the jumping scene is referring this 207 as VH FIF, if so this was based at wilton (picton) in the eighties. called the flying coke can as painted red and Grahem Hill used it for the Coke and 2SM demos. Piece of junk it had two goes at me both on takeoff. always crap and water in the fuel lines. last i saw it was in Ayre painted white. can't fool me i went to the pub.
So it stopped at 4,000 ft and did not get it back. first i heard of a restart, what then it stopped again? my first guess was ice, but they say it ran out of fuel. some students on board but pilot wanted everyone to stay in the aircraft. don't figure if you over head almost. and they are a bit of a lead sled. I would have gone for help
As for power failures i too taught my self to fly in the bad old days of ultralights (real ones not this pesudo GA crap) and still fly the same ones today and have over 60 power failures. Only one rule, DEAL WITH IT!
