Far out,that first vid is shocking.
I believe the pilot was to blame

[Ian Warren]

The pilot was lived in the dark ages ... he just wanted to find out if the world was really round and round and round and round

Another close call with an UltraLight. You can hear the engine stopping. How to find a clear, flat landing area in 10 seconds? I guess its 80% luck.

jesus that guy in the first video was a lucky boy!!! he recovered extremely low plus ended up upside down on the ground!!!! bet he went and got a lotto ticket!

You will fine hang glider type microlights are a quite a bit more safer than your home-built category due to the weight in their designs , type shown is practically a hang glider ( a trike ) with a good glide ratio , many also carry chutes , still worth viewing and pilot follow the cardinal rule - dont turn back - look ahead and plan the landing

love the totally calm quip from the pilot...
"Well, this is it Neil"

talk about understatement.

That Microlight showed a much better example of an engine failure and how to land properly

Here's the first video, but embedded.



Just type this -

Code: Select all

[video] with the code from the end of the url after the v= (In this case bvbS-oHi9ro&e) followed by [/video].

You end up with this:

Code: Select all

[video]bvbS-oHi9ro&e[/video]

ahh thanks VAC - forgot once gaain how to do embedding and then I got lazy looking for the solution........

[FlyingKiwi]

That was pretty intense. The pilot hauling it round at low level with the engine out right at the end didn't leave me feeling too well.

[SUBS17]

Lol those guys are show offs.

Ok Mr. Professional Pilot. I'm pretty sure the guy in that vid has more hours than you= he's probably right.

[Q300]

I think any landing in that sort of situation is a good landing, I dont think anyone can say how they would react when something like that occurs.
He handled it very calmly IMO, I would be screaming/crying/ forgeting im an atheist and start praying

Talking about the first one BTW...
