I particulary love how a young pilot (whose total years is probably less than 50% of those posting on this forum) with 3 passengers on board is placed in a situation where life is threatened and not only manages to save those lives but does so in a way that causes no injuries and even manages to leave the aircraft without a dent. Yet the wonderful armchair pilots of PPRuNe still manage to find fault and critique minor details.

Let's be clear, the outcome of this incident was above and beyond any pilot training. In the event one is flying along and all goes quiet the priority (and what we are all trained to do) is get the aircraft back on the ground in such a way that the persons on board can walk away from, the resulting condition of the aircraft is not (should not be) considered - this guy not only managed that but also kept the plane in the same condition he took off with.

I say again well done to the young pilot and some folks on here really should descend from atop their lofty armchair cockpit.
