Default RE: What a save !!! (dead stick landing)

Good work, heads up flying for sure.

One thing me and my son do when we fly at a new site is take a few minutes to discuss emergency operations. We look the site over to determine where we are going to put an airplane if we have an issue. This is a good practice and has save us an airplane one one occasion. Its the callers job in these situations to give as much information as possible to the pilot when events like this happen.

On a side note, I just cant believe how long some of the runways you guys fly off of. With real-estate like that I cant see how a dead stick is even a problem.
