Nice video. Just to be clear, in the event of an actual engine failure (not simulated), the 500 rule is not the important. The FAR's allow, in the event of an emergency, to deviate from any regulations as necessary to complete a safe outcome to the flight. I think thats what you were saying, but I thought I would chime in.
Extending your glide ratio is much more complex than simply flying the best glide speed, I wont get into the details here. But at the very least, estimate your glide distance. At 2500ft (0.5Mi), and your C152 ~10:1 glide ratio, you should be looking - at most - for a landing spot 4 miles radius out the window. Don't kill yourself going to a field you'll never make. Glider pilots land off-airport all the time....they call it "landing out" (not an emergency). Good video. ;o)
@FlightTutor watch the real thing all the way to the ground - It's really not a big deal. YouTube search: "Very nice landing on a cornfield" to see how its done. /watch?v=l87xAoA9pnA&feature=related
@Daniel11987 An airplane with an engine failure is nothing more than a glider. If you understand the fundamentals of gliders, it's not an issue. You will have done this scenario dozens of times because every landing in a glider is an 'engine failure' and there are no go-arounds. Jason's videos are top notch, which is why I subscribe to him. A good pilot is always learning, Daniel. Learn some manners.
Nice video Jason. I think you should also cover a little bit more those items like fuel valve off and unlatch the doors after trying to restart the engine before the go around at 500 feet. They are in the checklist anyway but just an opinion :) Nice stuff and thanks for your dedication man
I was always taught Carb Heat Immediately on while or after establishing best glide, so the warm air from the engine can break up Carb Ice...but that was in a 172. Does the Carb Heat System on a 152 work differently?
I'm currently 16 and taking flight lessons in a 1972 Cessna 150. I was practicing engine failures and the old engine, after we pulled out the throttle simulating an engine failure it wasn't idling very well and then it just quit. The propeller didn't even spiral it just stopped on me. So we set best glide speed, found a place to land, then went through the checks and luckily it started right back up. :) Another good video by the way! These are full of knowledge and give me tips for my lessons!:)
@AddictedtoAviation Similar experience on my log solo cross-country when I was a student. It was probably carb ice. I descended to the traffic pattern, entered downwind, pulled carb heat and the engine coughed and then quit. It started windmilling once I dropped the nose and after a short time I got it restarted, by that time I'd turned early base and had run through the panel check real quick. Landed normally. The emergency routine was just that - routine - because I practice it so frequently.
I was flying a 1959 C150 in 1981 (by myself) and forgot to switch off carby heat. The loss of 150 rpm combined with a very old aircraft whose engine output at max power was questionable at best saw me descending at 100-150 fpm. Thought I was going to land off field for about a minute or so till I did checks. Suffice to say I never flew C150's or 152's ever again.

I do believe I see an AOPA sticker there on the back window. Great video!

Impact energy goes down as the square of the ground speed. WIND DIRECTION.

Any way to attenuate your audio at time of recording ? The distortion makes it the only unpleasant parts of your videos.
