Good video showing what two pilots had to cope with when the engine stops!

Very nice. Reminds me of all my outlandings as a Hang Glider pilot.

It always pays to be on the lookout for a landing spot.

The biggest lesson I took from earning a RPPL many moons ago!

Cool, just wish I'd known there was no sound an hour ago as I was in class and didn't watch it because I didn't want anyone to notice

Very neat indeed.... Quite different to my experiences - having been in light aircraft that had in flight engine failures twice.

Fortunately for me we were on our way up on jump sorties anyway.... so we just tightened up the leg straps and exited... leaving the pilot to do his thing...:mrgreen:

Only scary part for us was that one incident was under 2000 ft.....by the time we got out we were... by Skydiving standards... LOW!

Perhaps we need to find out the cause of the engine failure first.........

That modern plane even had the fandangled new airbags. Manually deployed model.

But easy to re-use.

Crikey! Never thought of that.
Zero fuel
Failed to remove birds nest from engine air intake
Failed to monitor T's & P's after take-off

Hmmmmm. Maybe they should wait until report is completed!
Thanks markis10
