Very well executed, as above, his PFL training may not have specifically covered this, but you can never cover every single eventuality, he did well under the pressure and made the right decision to land in what was available ahead.

Perhaps if he'd tried to turn back or complete a circuit it would've been a very different outcome, but he managed a controlled and survivable landing which is all anyone can ask.

The other points, though, that GPS really is obscuring the panel, and how many other people fly round with checklists dangling from the window like that? I couldn't imagine a more awkward or annoying way to store a checklist.
