If everyone in GAAP did nice tight circuits not wide B747 circuits this would not even rate a mention the runway would be in glide distance from mid downwind as it should be.

Can anyone who knows the locality try to shed light on what the pilot seems to attempt in the seconds before the rather sudden arrival?
I'm a bit puzzled by the angle of bank so close to the ground Where is the trying to turn, towards the taxiway just behind the waiting Bo?

A hell of a job in my books.

Where is the DR he will be drooling over the bonza setup for sure
The Dr has seen both the downtime and the bill when one of those big TVs goes blank!

You'd expect the engine failure from the Skyfox operating there with the sewing machine up front, not a good old Lycoming. Great video from the chopper, makes me want to do a conversion. Good idea with the camera setup in the chopper, not a bad idea for all lessons if the student bothers to watch it afterwards.

i have been roasted a few time by CFI's for teaching, try to make every approach a glide approach. once the power is back to slow down on mid downwind, the throttle shouldn't be touched again until you need it to taxi. unless of course the student is going for CPL and higher.. then ill teach the 3 deg approach.
