Crippled Cessna Lands Safely

Lots of comments on the subject, but having been in this situation personally, I have to agree with joecessna182. I put my 310Q on its nose at Oakland Int. on Feb 8th 2008 after a nosegear linkage failure (common 310 problem unfortunately) and left my poor Contis running until the mains were on. I had an hour and a half to think about it as I flew around burning fuel and trying to get gear lock, and I wasn't at all comfortable, especially under the stress I was, taking a go-around off the table.

They'd let him "land long" if he had any error. It's a common practice during emergency landings. Any huge errors he would have recognized before he shut the engines off. This was a good pilot. Try flying an airplane before you post things on youtube sitting behind your computer pretending that you know what you're talking about... You make yourself look stupid...

do you know anything about flying?
were you not listening? They just burned fuel. This is a common practice in flying, shutting the engines off. Let's not make a bad situation worse by causing more damage to the props and the engine. If those props were still spinning while it hit the pavement it would cause thousands of dollars in damage to the plane instead of just body work.

excelente, bravo, excelente piloto trata en medio de una emergencia de salvar los motores y las helices, muy buena maniobra a muy poca altura...
