Great job BTW but the idiots in the cars could have given him more room. |
Yes, I think those drivers are asinine - a plane doesn't land on the interstate for fun. If nothing else, you could expect it to become a hazard, starting on fire, spewing oil or moving erratically. Person in the little **** box can't wait to pass when the plane pulls off. Someone has a life or death emergency and all you can think of is how to get to your lunch appointment as fast as possible?

Any landing you walk away from...
One of those things you practice a lot / think about a lot and hope to never have to actually do... Glad this ended well! |

well why would it bother the plane that there's a car 30 feet behind him?
they weren't going fast, plane will not outbrake a car And I doubt he has rear view mirrors that would show him what's behind him? |
The cars didn't have to follow that close but it was a long lens shot, so how do you know if it was 30 feet or 100? Personally, if a plane was landing in front of me on a highway, I'd get the hell away from the thing.

Lots of time the prop will not stop windmilling even if the engine quit.
There is some tricks to do to help stop it as it actually slows you dwn of it keeps rotating. Next-I thinks I would have chosen the frontage road to the right, as he just lucked out not landing on anyone. |

when no one gets hurt handicap the other pilots f'ing landing site choice. Never happens. Ever. Perhaps, since you have no f'ing clue, the frontage road had "issues"? What an *********. Go away. My opinion is that the pilot did what needed to be done and no one got hurt. Based on the fact that the pilot taxied off the road, I bet the pilot was not a rookie. |

But you don't. You must be a tiny man to get all upset at everyone over everything, is that because of Navy shrinkage? LOL Landing on the interstate is a huge liability as now one has now included others in their problems! Others could have quite easily been killed. As i said he lucked out getting between cars .. Not the best decision with a frontage road on one side perhaps both sides We were always taught "any fkn thing" but the interstate! You go away and be an ashole somewhere else-truly not called for. |

Does the frontage road have parallel power lines? Does the frontage road have potholes, or just lousy pavement that will swallow an airplane's small-diameter tires? What obstacles were visible from the air that aren't visible from our street view? Parked cars? Delivery truck? Stall speed goes up with any bank during a turn. If close to stalling, any extraneous maneuvering could be the difference between a controlled landing and cartwheeling down the road in flames. As a general rule, picking an open field is preferable to a street, as streets have sign posts, traffic lights, power lines, yada, yada.... This guy did good when under extreme pressure. No second chance allowed. |

One would assume you were there at the sticks in this particular episode and made all the right calls....but you were not. My last post in this thread is this: Never question a pilots successful landing in an emergency....people live, no ones dies, aircraft whole, live to fight another day. The perfect ending to a tough beginning. The rest is an old man jerking off. |

Does Canada use Eurpoean-style aircraft ID markings?

What we were taught is damage to the aircraft is better than killing other people, and to set it anywhere to eliminate collateral..
This pilot came out smelling like a rose! But,, this thread would have been calling him a stupid donkey butt had he come dwn on a car and killed other people or it caught on fire and involved other people. Simple as that. Like most threads, it can be seen two ways but mostly by those that scream the loudest. With helicopters one has to concerned with a lot more flying carnage.(which is more my thing) On a road? NO way! LOL In fact, one has to be care full where they land as someone will come over and run through the tail rotor! We had an acquaintance sued several years ago because some kid ran over to see him landing and the stupid kid broke his ankle. This changes the whole outlook of the 100 dollar hamburger, just because we can land there. |
Yes, it is hard to tell how far back the cars really are. On another forum, someone quoted a report saying the car right behind the plane was not that close and was trying to prevent other cars from hitting the plane. Though I am not sure why cars behind the plane would hit it.

Not sure what you are asking, but:
In America, we have 'N' numbers. The number/id on the side of the plane. All start with an 'N' followed by numbers and possibly other letters. Canada 'N' numbers start with a 'C' and I believe contain all letters. Other countries follow similar, a letter, or letters, designating the country and then more letters. Not sure if any other country also uses numbers, like the USA. Quote:
