Default RE: First crash

Sorry to hear about the crash. If it is any consolation, we have all crashed at one time or another.

If you haven't done so, it would pay you to practice some "dead stick" landings. If you have a sim, do it on that first. Remember, one thing though. If the engine quits, GET THE NOSE OF THE PLANE DOWN and do not let come up above level. You need to keep the flying speed. Also, if you have to turn, use the rudder NOT THE AILERONS.
