Yea when you work on your PPL thats one of the first things you train for, complete engine failure. The first step in the checklist is maintain your best glide speed, anything but that best glide speed will result in a faster descent rate.

did you watch that last part of the video that talked about a clogged valve?

Couldn’t he have cut the engine, lowered the nose to gain speed than flaired to make a somewhat controlled landing on the water instead of pancaking like that?

maybe its because the plane was losing power champ

So why was the aircraft swerving all over the place?

Are you retarded?

That was such a heavy land. Judging by the way he was flying I would not be surprised if Alcohol was a factor.

I have done 2 deadstick landings and I cannot comment on this crash. Who knows the conditions when the engine failed. Of course, we know to maintain max glide speed, but, we do not know what happened and when. So, to all that are smack-talking : “Go fly on Microsoft’s Flight Sim and can it.”

thats so bad…..

omg thats crazy

Any landing is a good landing if you either walk away, or are carried away, alive.

Lot of pilots with little knowledge here.

The Super Viking is in full stall in the entire video. That’s how a Viking stalls, with full aileron authority. It does not tuck and spin like a Cessna.

A Super Viking stalls clean at 80 mph, not 55 or 60.

I didn’t like the way it went any more than the rest of you but a lot of pilots kill them self and everyone on board when faced with less.

I know Super Vikings, click on my log in.

ahahahahahahhah. oh snap……

to timmyturner943: Well not everyday you see a plane crash in the middle of a lake. Besides, while the plane was airborne, what could the fisherman have done?

You can see what the problem was at 1:58. He has those cheap David Clarks.

yah sort of but it was shut off and the fuel was blocked off so you know

happy the people got out of the plane alive,but i was expecting an explosion..

Always tank good fuel

true, but either way, if he would have lowered the nose for best glide he wouldn’t have made it. He just barely made the shore.

I love all this armchair pilot experts on youtube leaving comments.

wats strechin

You cant strech a glide he should of lowerd the nose selected full flap as he com over the trees and landed smoothly
but easy to say in hind site!
