During my flight test last year December, my instructor turned both fuel tanks off whilst I was flying (unbeknown to me as the are located behind us in the aircraft) and I was expected to perform an emergency landing at our airfield. When the propeller became stationery I realized what happened, turned the fuel back on, restarted the aircraft and performed a normal circuit.
We were flying at 3000' and were well within easy gliding range of the airfield. With every approach during training I was expected to glide (with the engine set to idle) from abeam the runway threshold through the rest of the downwind leg, the base leg and final leg to touchdown. I also fly a sailplane which probably helped:wink2:. The aircraft is an Aeroprakt A22 Foxbat / Cape Town light sport aircraft.
Has anyone else experienced this, either during a flight test or been in a real emergency of this sort?
It is a long video - the highlights are:
Stall recovery - 11m:25s
Engine failure - 15m:26s
Short field landing - 17m:00s
