Default RE: Crashed my trainer today

Sorry to hear about your crash. Hopefully the plane is not too bad.

Have you and your instructor practiced any "dead stick" landings ? A lot of people (even experienced people ) "choke up" or they don't think clearly when a dead stick occurs. By doing some practice runs (with the engine at idle ) you can often overcome the "choking up" that occurs.
