Pilot's artificial arm 'became detached while landing plane'

I gave a BFR to a one legged pilot. He did fine. **** happens.

If the arm detached, what happened to the moment?

Gotta give him a big hand for landing safely.
 
I'm glad my DPE didn't make me do that as a distraction on my check ride.
 
I thought from the headline that the arm detached from the pilot. Reading further, apparently the artificial "hand" let go of the yoke. So, he had to land with his other hand on the yoke and no hand on the throttles.

Got catch. My socket gets a little sweaty sometimes and it can slide off my stump arm but its on the throttle so very little force is ever applied to it and it only takes a second to press my stump back into it.
 
Why not give a pilots license to a chicken...it's about the same thing...
 
I'm sure Sporty's sells something to prevent this sort of thing, don't they?
 
So he got a little disjointed on the landing.

We've all been there.
