"Any landing you make which you can walk away from is a good one. If you can use the aircraft again afterwards, it is great one"

Seriously, there are plenty of airstrips in Oz which are far smaller and less smooth than that area. With around 2,000 hrs that guy should have been more confident in his own abilities.

What exactly did they "teach" him in that BRS course he says he did a few months earlier? "Always pull the chute"?

They survived, which is goal no.1, so well done to that, but surely a better assessment could have been reached with that landing area underneath, especially with the time available from 5,000 ft?
