aaronfrsays...The pillows were a nice touch. Nothing like first class service.
CrushBugsays...Since there is no sound, put on your best female robot voice and start chanting with the video:
WARNING!
WARNING!
WARNING!
TERRAIN!
TERRAIN!
TERRAIN!
chingalerasays...Maximum glide ratio 10:1 in that aircraft (Jabiru J170 ultralight) only weighs 705lbs empty. Pretty safe plane to lose power in I'm guessing, better so than a small tear in your hang glider??
* wings?
dooglesays...I f*n hate it when videos have no description.
dooglesays...here I was wondering how a plane lost their Cockpit Footage of power.
G-barsays...the calmness of it all is disturbing. I would be shitting my pants at about the 30 seconds mark...
CreamKsays...That is what training is about. If you listen black box recordings of planes that are few seconds from certain crash and most likely death of the pilots, they are like the receptionist from a hotel lobby. "here's you room key and complementary..." "check the flaps, turn the fuel injection off.. " silence. It's the most precious physical quality in the cockpit as the more calm you are, the better judgements you make. Also when you are following that kind of routine, the desperation doesn't incapacitate you. The downside is that they rarely get to send their farewells to family, that's not in the checklist.
Have to send congrats to this pilot, he acts exactly like one should. It's really admirable.
