Coast Guard Rescues Pilot & Son from Plane Ditching in Ocean
A father in his 70s and his adult son are recovering from a nightmare Sunday afternoon when their single-engine Cessna stalled and they were forced to make an emergency crash-landing into the Ocean about 30 miles south of Big Sur. (www.nbcbayarea.com) المزيد...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I hate it when aircraft STALL.
Could be whoever wrote the article heard that the engine quit and they considered that a stall. Again - we have to wait for the NTSB report.
Pretty sure that's what he was making fun of and I know it's what I was making fun of.
They're lucky they survived said 'stall.' Although when I was an instructor years back I must have stalled planes thousands of times. Somehow they never once forced me into making an 'emergency crash-landing.' A few engine failures have caused me to make unscheduled landings, however.
Floats or not ... 2 people are alive .. because of the actions of the USCG ... and it is because of actions like this that my American flag flys 24/ 7 ....
I think it is ironic that the plane had to make a forced landing on the water when the plane had amphibious floats on it..
You were right. After checking the video - looks like the plane is on it's back with only one float remaining. Must've hit the water hard and broke off the other float. We'll have to wait for the NTSB report for better details.
The article said a single engine Cessna with no mention of floats - unless you have other info ??
