No heavy panic breathing in this and this one much more scary? and that is the point having had an off field landing which in my case involved taking out a hedge and slicing through the wing with a cut off tree stump embedded in the hedge 27 years ago normally in such situations you are so wrapped up in dealing with the situation you stay dead calm.
Its after the event that nerves kick in.
I dont buy the 182 incident.
As BPF sated in a previous thread with a partial engine failure you still have power and the first thing is to determine the fly level airspeed.
This guy did none of that with a multiple runway airfield right behind him, neither did he appear to even run through why his engine was apparently running rough just a panic get it on the ground.
So did he get away with it yes so in that way a successful outcome was it well handled NO!
Had he prewalked that field or even landed there before who know?
Was this staged? who knows.
Did he have a panic attack with a serviceable aircraft and just put it down ? who knows.
But something does not ring right with the 182 incident.
