An in-cockpit video of a forced landing.

Hi All,

I was just made aware of this in-cockpit video of a forced landing following an engine failure.

I thought that I'd share it here.

Cheers

Thanks Owen. Excellent job, especially getting over that pump house.

Here is a news article link...

I think they added an extra zero to their starting altitude.

Recalling the events, Mr Field said: "We're at 11,000 feet, we've got about a bit under two minutes before we're going to hit the ground at this point in time."

+1 what a great forethought! Just a good execution all the way around.

I thought that looked like Jabiru with and old-school panel. Not sure if this constitutes a "crash landing" as described in the article! But I guess it makes for a better "news" story.
