Yak 50 Deadstick

[mutha]

An oldie but goodie - Yak 50 engine loss and deadstick landing.  The GoPro is mounted on the pilot's helmet so you get a sense of how he's finding a place to set down.

Luckily for him the area wasn't capped.

wow I'm amazed at how quickly it stopped then saw no gear down. Wow.

Wonder if he would of made it gear down, or was the ground too soggy for that?

it looked pretty muddy, and there were some trees out just a ways.

Right call...gear up....soft soil, and gear sticking =Cartwheel or flip. 

Thought he might grab some of those straight roads but with English Hedgerows being what they are.....
Most importantly he remembered the #1 rule of ditching....never ever stall!

Beautiful country, the lake district:)

I love the moment that he climbs a little to clear that rock wall!

Can't complain if you can walk away from it.

I was always lucky, all 4 power losses I had occurred over an airport......one of 'em was at 75' after takeoff.....but got to a runway each time.
