Written by admin on April 3, 2023
We’ve all heard of planes losing pieces or whole engines and the brave men and women who safely get the aircraft to the ground. It takes experience and nerves of steel to handle those moments. Imagine being a 21 year old pilot that is on your 3rd solo flight ever and someone tells you that part of your landing gear is gone. There is not a lot of ways to practice that scenario for real life application. A young woman in Michigan had this happen to her and while it was a terrifying moment she had some great help from another pilot that helped talk her in. It was a tense moment that worked out the best for this rookie pilot.
