After binge watching like 10 engine out videos in a row, I've learned some valuable things:
1) Every youtuber who comments on these videos is a pilot that has had an engine out and they absolutely nailed the landing, did every single item on the checklist, and didn't bend a thing.
2) If you forget to unlatch the doors, you might as well just spin it in, because you missed the most important thing to do in an engine out situation.
3) If you didn't have time to pull out a paper checklist and verbally call things out so youtubers could confirm, then you didn't do the checklist and are a horrible pilot.
4) It's never ok to land in a field because it usually bends the airplane. You should always shoot for that narrow road with power lines some youtuber saw on the left side of the camera because then you could save the plane. We all know not bending the plane is the priority.
5) Spiraling down to then forward slip into a landing spot you know you have made means you don't know how to fly a proper pattern and should get more training.
6) If you have your engine quit at 350AGL but choose to turn 60 degrees into a field instead of landing straight ahead into the buildings and trees, you just broke the "30 degree rule" and are a terrible pilot. Get more training.
7) If you don't choose to stop flying the plane so you can instead tune the radio and yell mayday, you are not a good pilot and have made a grave mistake.
8) Props do not windmill, so if the prop is still turning, then the video is obviously a fake.
9) If you start to breath heavy or stutter, then you are a girl who has no future as a pilot. Real pilots don't have actual human bodies that react to stress.
10) Youtube commentators are all excellent at the impossible turn. So if you were above 500AGL but didn't attempt a turn back, then you have the airmanship of a crippled dog. Get more training.
