My First Emergency Forced Landing

During a lovely evening flight along the coast with mates Lee & Mike, I had to make an unexpected landing at a small beach on route back after I accidentally hit the kill switch. Oops

Area looks nice. Where were you flying? is that a side pull PAP with foot starter option?

@surfervince It's between Estepona and Marbella on the Costa Del Sol. The area is gorgeous. We're very lucky to be able to fly here. Yes, it's a PA125 made by my friend Pierre (PAP) which is based down the road.

I wondered why you were so confident to restart the engine and just take off. Aha, kill-switch. Nice to have lots of clear landing space.

Well done sir. I just bought a Flat-Top 200....electric start. I figure 12 lbs. for the electric is well worth it. I'll be flying a S-Trike only.

Very good landing!!!! Good to have this experience under your belt now- you won't fear it happening again.
