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

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.👍 1
Methusala Posted May 5 Posted May 5 I think Harrison Ford landed there when engine failed, Ryan from memory. He ended up inverted but uninjured. 1

onetrack Posted May 11 Posted May 11 In the golf course crash landing, Harrison Ford incurred a broken arm, and head injuries that weren't life-threatening. https://simpleflying.com/harrison-ford-plane-crashes-history/ 1

Not saying Juan Brown is an expert on ai, but you'd think someone would pipe up about it if it was fake. There would be a lot of knowledgeable people following Juan. Note too that the pilot and his grandfather (who owns the plane) both comment here. Again, if they are real and the video was fake, you'd think one of them would say something. Or if both those profiles are fake, someone would call bs 🤷♂️
onetrack Posted May 13 Posted May 13 The outlanding is genuine, it's just that someone has manufactured a fake video of it happening, when in fact it's highly unlikely that anyone would be able to video the precise moments it all happened. Add in the fact that the photo of where the aircraft stopped, is a whole lot different point to where the video shows it stopped.

danny_galaga Posted May 14 Author Posted May 14 Here is the pilot talking through the incident, including reviewing what he did in that video. I'm out and about so can't really listen in. One of you can tell me if he says the video is fake
onetrack Posted May 14 Posted May 14 The outlanding video has text under it in that interview video above, identifying the video owner as Roger Steele. The pilot watches the emergency landing video in the interview, and says "he's watched it about 500 times, and every time I watch it, it feels like I'm watching someone else land this airplane. It does not feel like I was in that or flying that, which is kinda weird". So, it appears the video is genuine, and it has to be the "arsey-ist" genuine outlanding I've ever watched on video in a long time. The pilot says he saw about a 50 foot wide strip of clear turf and was worried about hitting a group of golfers and several golf carts, but he managed to avoid them all. I reckon he must have landed into the wind, too, because the Cessna appears to be floating pretty well at very low airspeed. 1
Thruster88 Posted May 14 Posted May 14 Onetrack,I would have to disagree with the "arsey-ist" bit. The guy is obviously a competent pilot. It has been my experience that an aircrafts flight path can be controlled in close proximity to the earth with great accuracy, + or - 1m, even while turning or rolling out of a turn onto the centre line. Practice makes perfect. 1 1
