Hi!
An expert pilot is somebody that can fly any plane, in any weather and land it safely on the runway even if the engine stops at the most unconvenient position /hight imaginable.
Ok, the LT40 is flying with a 30mph tailwind at 10 feet high.
Just as you pass the runway, the engine quits.
Not even an expert is bringing that one back!
thats happened to me. Only choice is to ride the glide and get her down softly. At our field if you miss the runway you're in the bush and there WILL be damage. All the "experts"said I did well but I ran it through over nd over in my mind and I could have attempted a turn into wind. I would hav risked a stall but I still think there is a way out of that mess.
