  • Fabulous job! 

  • I teach that maneuver but at 500' with partial power and landing with a slight tailwind (4,500' runway) done it maybe 400 times already.

    Your Reaction time was about 1 second, not the 5 seconds a pilot in panic will take and stall it. Good job.

  • wow dude, that was amazing, doing this great turn you saved your 3 lives and you have shown that you're a very skilled pilot, knowing what you're doing, my respect to you

  • good job man,,,,ignore the naysayers,,,they fly flight simulators and have no real piloting skills,,,just books and hangar flying. Basically,,,your options were straight ahead in the trees,,,or a decending turn back to the airport into the trees or making the runway. Eat the meat and spit the bones and become a pilot that people prefer based on actions instead of words! Good job man

  • @tailwheelflier

    I hear ya! Thanks a bunch.  If i went by the book it was the lake or the trees. I figured being i had a touch of power just make the turn and if it was going to buffet I was going wings level and landing in the tree tops.

  • Very professional reaction!

    This I can say after 1220 take off and landings and about 650 hours Cessna and Piper!

    Gratulation! Good job.

  • there is good flying and there is bad flying...that my friend.............was superb that was using every instinct you have as an airmen........... absolutely incredible

  • Nice Job man.... So.... did she jumped?

  • awesome job man! did you ever find out the cause of the power loss?

  • @f0rn1c0n

    Never found the reason. Demanded the plane be ferried out by someone else with a bigger set of balls. I wasn't about to risk it.

  • below 500 agl you should just fly straight man, that was a dangeorus maneuver i can hear the stall warning all the way while turning... so close from a spin...

  • @sowmach I hear you. Everything went into slow motion, I decided in the lake...or in the trees.... I then realized we had the power to hold the altitude granted the stall warning was wailing. The turn was initiated and the day turned out alright. No buffeting at all either. But i know exactly where you are coming from.

  • good pilot

  • Absolute great job by the pilot!! I couldn't have done it any better myself!

  • That's as by the book as it gets. Great save!

  • Shit man - good job indeed!

  • wow this pilot is amazing...Saved the lives of everyone on board..most people panic and spin towards the earth when that happens

  • Great pilot. Good judgment and good coordination! If it was another pilot in your seat, well, I'm not sure if the outcome would have been favorable. 5/5!

  • Thank you! It was a scary day but the training paid off within those 30 seconds.

  • every pilots worst nightmare.. at 250 AGL, you can't just come down in the middle of a city, sure makes sense to fly in non-populated areas!

  • Good recovery

  • Made me smile as well. Kudos to the pilot.

  • Damn, that was scary just watching!!

  • Where were you flying out of?

  • Well the shit was flying out of his ass I'll tell you that! Says where they were flying out of if you can understand that Brazilian broken english! :)

  • holy shit... I'm just doing my PPL Licenze and I hope that this will never ever happen to me. Very fast and good reaction by the pilot.. cudos the stall warning would have freaked me out already...

  • I heard the stall warning during the whole turn....

    Good job....

  • Thats a good pilot right there!

  • good job!!
