Odd how they "plunge" or "plummet" or "fall from the sky" rather than gliding.

I am however relieved to discover that an aircraft can "fall around 150 to 200m to the ground" and you can climb out with just cuts and bruises. Clearly all we have to do is glide down to about 500 feet and let go.

Good job the pilot is better at piloting than the reporter is at reporting. Congratulations on getting yourself down in one piece.
