I wouldn't do it. Why kill the engine? Your asking for trouble...Engine outs can be practiced with the engine running so you can bail if needed... Not setting a good example for other pilots who might be dumb enough to try this!

@Jamesfromnyc -- It is called training. Train , practice. , practice. practice. -- it will be come instinct. -- you must not be a pilot -- regardless-- I subbed you ....... :)

@Jamesfromnyc Folks realize this a Pilot that know's his plane well. Don't be stupid and try this with your rented piper PA-28 or 172. Didn't mean to diss the creator of the video.

Looks like you need to learn how to side slip, then actually land.

Better for the engine and proves you can do it.

[norwegianfireman]

ya but you have to be lucky nothing is under you but grass when you land
