danny_galaga Posted May 3 Posted May 3 Well done. It almost looks like he deliberately parked it right at the end 😄 2
danny_galaga Posted May 3 Author Posted May 3 News story because the first clip makes you wonder if it was ai!
skippydiesel Posted May 3 Posted May 3 C172's have electric flaps, slow to deploy/retract. IF the aircraft had manual flaps, they could have been strategically (in the flair) retracted, for a more posative landing, less ground effect float. All things considered the pilot dis a great job😈
facthunter Posted May 3 Posted May 3 I don't agree with your Logic. Have you ever done what you speak of?
Jerry_Atrick Posted May 3 Posted May 3 (edited) Golf course aren't straightforward have undulations, all sorts of hazards everywhere and people. No idea what the picture was from the cockpit. Speaks volumes of the undercarriage though Edited May 3 by Jerry_Atrick 1 2 1
danny_galaga Posted May 3 Author Posted May 3 6 hours ago, facthunter said: Pretty untidy Landing but they got away with it. Nev Mate, they ended up going over sand traps etc. It would be nice if they could make one of the fairways. Next time theyll be sure to plan their route to follow the length of the fairways in case they have an engine failure at low altitude 🤷♂️ 2 1
skippydiesel Posted May 3 Posted May 3 The reality is; When you are in that situation, any landing where the POB survive, is a good landing. We don't know the engine failure circumstances, altitude, time available, winds speed/direction, landing ground options available - I reckon the pilot did a great job - people (inc POB) likly shaken but all lived to tell the tale. I trained in 172's - you never get to experince an actual engine out, whole new ball game.😈 1 1
JabiruWeekendWarrior Posted May 3 Posted May 3 (edited) The video did look like a fake AI type and I would have thought at least the nose wheel would have dug in with all that bouncing around on uneven ground.. Amazing Edited May 3 by JabiruWeekendWarrior
Thruster88 Posted May 3 Posted May 3 /graphics/ICAOtype/C172.gif Incident Cessna 172G Skyhawk N3753L, Friday 2 May 2025 ASN.FLIGHTSAFETY.ORG A Cessna 172G Skyhawk, N3753L, suffered a loss of engine power while on approach to Santa Monica Airport. The airplane made a deadstick landing on the grounds of the Riviera Country Club.... Pilot did a great job, Riviera country club doesn't look very aircraft friendly, big holes in the fairways, very high fence in the middle. 3
Underwood Posted May 4 Posted May 4 Some might say a couple of points should be deducted for not taking out a few golfers but all in all a Great Job saving that one.👍
Methusala Posted Monday at 12:32 AM Posted Monday at 12:32 AM I think Harrison Ford landed there when engine failed, Ryan from memory. He ended up inverted but uninjured. 1
