- Kyle was looking forward to recording his first solo navigation flight when he set up his new camera in the plane. He could not have anticipated that he would end up filming his own emergency landing. We are sharing this forced landing video to show you how safe the Sling aircraft is and how well Kyle reacted under pressure.

dude, Ryanair makes rougher landing than this on smooth runway even with both engines . Kyle absolutely nailed it and was very smooth too...
Airliners actually want "rougher" landings so the tires get good grip and the landing gets shorter and therefore safer.
Off-landings always have component of luck. You can't tell from distance how the surface is when you're making decision on where to put the plane down, might be soft and just plowed, nose wheel sinks in and you go over or might be hard and smooth which is almost like dirt runway.
@@szience Not true at all, airline pilots try to make the landing as smooth as humanly possible
@@bbs5400 also not entirely true
@@Alexander-hk5ke Definitely entirely true, as long as they're transporting passengers and not cargo, cargo is a different story
I work for a major airline. I’m also a flight instructor. I would be honored to have this young man grace any flight deck that I’m on. C152 to the Boeing 787!
Son, you’ve got the “right stuff”!
"...okay, that's how you go down I guess." Nice work man and cool as a cucumber!
cool as a cucumber. Imma steal that
He may still be a student, but it appears that Kyle's got some of the Right Stuff. Well done!
He stuck that landing like a gymnast - 10 out of 10!
For a student, i could give this 2 thumbs up on the forced landing, great job Kyle! Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome!
I'm up to about 80 paddock landings so far, you did good! Once you've done a few it gets easier and you'll be more relaxed about it. Here's how glider pilots do it:
- At about 2000' AGL you should know where a good landing area is roughly.
- At about 1000' AGL the exact field should be selected, and you should know the wind direction. Ideally you choose a field that is big enough (obviously!), confirm the slope, surface (I prefer grass fields rather than plowed but depends on the area), no stock on it, Ideally have a back up paddock beside it incase your chosen one has a fence through it. They can be hard to see.
- Do a circuit around the field. This lets you confirm the slope of the field from the side, and the wind direction. You can't see that from above. Check for fences, stock etc. again. Do your downwind checks. Critical: keep your speed up, regularly check it, especially if it's windy and turbulent near the ground.
- Use the angle to the airfield as your guide, and make your circuit tighter if you are getting too low, and bigger if you are too high. The circuit size will be smaller than a normal power plane circuit, and even smaller than a glider, as your glide ratio isn't as good as a glider.
- Land as normal as possible. Bit different if you normally have an engine of course! Have a decent length finals. Landing flaps. You could use side slip if needed as a way to increase the descent rate if you don't have air brakes like a glider. A steeper approach is better as you wash off more energy as you flare.
- On touchdown the goal is to stop as soon as possible, to avoid hitting a rabbit hole or the end fence :) use your wheel brakes, don't coast to be closer to the fence for example.
- Phone base and send them your location electronically, so they can find you easily.
- Find the land owner, apologise and explain what happened. Get permission to drive onto the property. Always leave gates as you find them. Never had a grumpy one yet :)
I don't know how much of this is appropriate for non-glider pilots, but this is how we train to do it in gliders in New Zealand. I should make a video about it...
Please do make a video on this. I am always open to learn how the other half lives.
Cheers Kyle for keeping your wits about you in a stressful situation. GoFly, this video should be mandatory viewing for all your students. Keys to surviving an in-flight emergency: 1) Stay Calm!!!, 2) Fly the Plane, and 3) Work the problem. Bravo!
Thanks for your feedback 😊
That's quite a story and an honest testimony to how well you taught your student for all kinds of situations.
Thank you
This man's composure is amazing. He was extremely lucky that day. Everything went right in my book. Great job.
What a cool dude. Absolutely calm, wonderful execution.
Nicely done and wise to share the story. Thanks for that.
Thanks for your feedback
This video should be promoted and used globally in all flight schools.
Their are pilots and then their are PILOTS, you sir are a PILOT!
Isn't it weird how calm this type of experience can be knowing that you may die in just a few moments, just sitting there and waiting for the touch down.
Wonderful execution of PIC duties.
He performed great in a stressful situation.
Love the way he stopped and then continued to talk to the camera.... :-) And as a student that was a stunning video.
Thanks so much for your feedback 😊👍
Nicely done.
Dude, amazing. You should be a surgeon. Nerves of steal. You acted so calm and professional. Wow! Congrats for a spectacular emergency (and safe) landing.
First off Kyle did an amazing job! I'm a 40 hour student pilot and I don't think I could have remained as calm. But someone did not setup the avionics correctly in this plane. With Dynon if the primary alternator failed the Rotax would auto switch to Standby Alt. then through an audible alarm and display on screen..... if the standby alt. was lost a voltage drop would through the voltage alarm still giving 20 to 30 minutes of flight time to land. Three systems were lost and alarms should have been going off like crazy so Kyle wouldn't have been put in this position. I hope things have been sorted and glad Kyle kept his cool to fly another day. This was completely preventable.
thats exactly what I was thinking. I don't know the plane but I figured it wouldn't solely rely on one alternator
beautiful landing
So glad he was ok. And thanks for being brave enough as a flying school to share with all of us. One of my fears as a student is how I would deal with a bad situation.
You're welcome Dan. We thought it would be useful to show others.
I have been flying since 1979 and a pilot since I was 18 in 1987. I am very pleased to say you have had far more excitement than I ever have. I hope to keep it that way.
You did a great off airport no power landing without flaps on fresh plowed ground.
Dude handled that like a soldier! And thank you so much for videos like this, they are so helpful.
Great result
Great job! Glad you are OK.
Nordo, engine out, who wouldn't have a moment of pause. You worked the problem. Never quit flying while trouble shooting. Well done.
“That’s how you go down I guess” haha gold
That thing glided like the spitfire from Dunkirk.
What a amazing ditching on the field, Couldn't have gone better, He Aviated, Navigated, Communicated and kept a cool head throughout the entire emergency.
Very commendable for a school to show the other end of the extreme, rather than just the flights that go right. Kyle handled that exceptionally well, and was obviously trained brilliantly by his GoFly instructors.
You talk about staying cool, and calm when stuff goes south!! Goodness…. What’s even better is that he continues to fly!! Great job my friend!!!!
Balls of steel and an excellent landing.
Nice job, mate. Thanks for sharing the story.
Outstanding! Thanks for sharing.
Excellent job flying the plane! So when the DPE ask “what would you do if the engine quit now” , you can just show him your video:)
Totally screwed the pooch.
Outstanding!
Great job.
How on earth did her remain so cool?!! I guess that’s why he managed to execute such a great off airport landing!
Preparation. As a new pilot, I recognised I work well on flow charts and quick reference cards in critical incidents; if commercial pilots can use it in CRM, so can I. I made my own QRH.
@@kyleyoung69420 I love how pilots just have to use abbreviations when they probably spend more time capitalizing their abbreviations
Great video! Thank you
This is the absolute best video I've seen on a forced landing event. Extremely well done.
😱 awesome landing!!! Bro !!
I am in total awe. Fantastic outcome. Fantastic attitudes, training and procedures. Fantastic production values too - loved that the camera could be panned around and motion stabilised, well edited and great audio. Congrats to Kyle and the team at GoFly!
Thank you for your feedback 😊
Your a Medic. I wouldn’t expect anything less from you. We’re trained to deal with life and death situation, and we deal with them on every shift. You stayed calm and fallowed your training. Job well done.
Great job!
Dude.... I am proud of you. That was ace.
this is incredible! Well done to Kyle. I have my skydiving license (looking to get my PPL) and I've had a malfunction before. Serious line twists, where I ALMOST had to cut the parachute away (thank god I got out of them). At first you panic, bad. Realizing how serious of a situation is, but then your training kicks in, and you go through the procedures. Kyle is the perfect example of this. If you ever are in an emergency, in any situation, it is paramount that you keep calm. You're stronger than you think!
Nicely done! Always great to see a good outcome, after an emergency. Thanks for sharing.
Good to see those Ardmore Flying School fundamentals coming out in your students Nathan Slee! Well done to this Pilot, perfect FLWOP.
Rob Brown
Well done Kyle, good management
This guy was a calmest guy ever in a situation like this love his attitude love his video 💙
what a great pilot :)
Congrats Kyle on having successfully plowed three short rows! Nicely done.
Great Job Pilot.. Amazing story.. I would love to fly a plane..
I would have been SO unhinged that this video would have NEVER seen the light of day... Good Job.
Great job!!!!!!!
Well done young man!! You controlled your fear and remembered to fly the plane all the way to a successful emergency landing. 👍🏾
This video should have millions of views.
Just started learning to fly, thank you for creating this video and sharing this, what a great learning experience for all of us!
That was freaking Butter man!... with everything going on all at once and still manages a buttery smooth landing on rough terrain man's got skills, skills taught by the best teachers no doubt
Nice work!!
I'm currently on the same course as you and when I thought I've seen every single incident on TH-cam this just pops up. It should have broken the internet because you absolutely nailed it and this is precisely what we all think is going to happen to us as nav students. Thank you so much, Kyle. Also what a boss you are handling this. Then when you land you just sit up and start chilling on your phone. You are the student we need to all watch. I hope this also serves as reason for flight schools to start filming all flights and creating training scenarios for students. I hope I make the same decisions you did when this eventually happens to me. Thank you for this footage.
Establish best glide speed, find a spot and commit to it. Resist impulsivity. Execute a soft field landing if applicable. Crack door open. Great landing Sir.
Excellent airmanship and more importantly EXCELLENT training. Respect !!
Thanks for your great feedback 😊
That was beautiful
this is some excellent piloting man! i’m thoroughly impressed. LITERALLY just flew my first forced landing training flight about 2 hours ago so I know exactly how difficult it is to pull off what you just did. kudos!
What a great job getting that aircraft safely down, hats off dude. I especially was impressed with the decision to land where he knew he could get to, as opposed to pressing to the airfield. And the actual landing was smooth as silk. In the interests of lessons learnt, it seems he had an alternator failure. So the battery was powering everything, and not being Re charged by the alternator. Apparently this plane has no magnetos, so an eventual dead battery means an eventual dead engine too... I would expect the volts gauge may have been reading zero for quite a while. So if he had seen that earlier, he could have landed at Gympie first time around. So lesson: check the electric gauges regularly, as regularly as the engine gauges. Thanks for sharing this experience GoFly, many lessons learned.
Bravo!! You sir, have earned your wings over and over. Very impressive. 🙏
Currently undergoing my RPL and just gotta say this video was very inspiring. Great job handling that forced landing. Learned heaps.
Thanks for your feedback and all the best with your training😊
Bravo to this guy for keeping his cool. You could tell the adrenaline was pumping but he had total control over it.
Very very interesting. I had no idea a Rotax needed electrical power to keep turning and burning! 😳
You learn something new every day. Fair play to Kyle. He did a superb job. 🎉🥳👊👍
Well done. Something we train for and hope never happens. Outstanding control (both of the aircraft and emotions) during a stressful event. Something we can all learn from. Again, well done.
I am a licensed privateilot in the US. I would fly with you ANY day! You did better than I could.have done.
I would hope not, if you are in fact a licensed pilot. You should do no worse than that otherwise you’re a risk to everyone that you fly over every time you get into an airplane. Truth
very impressive landing. well done, even more impressive, his first solo flight!!! keep flyin bro!
Impressive!
That radio whine told me right away it was probably an alternator failure. They output AC before it gets rectified into DC and you can sometimes hear the noise, even in cars and trucks when the radio is on. My in-law's Suburban does it normally but not very loud.
well done !
Watching this and almost as relieved as you were when you made that perfect landing. Great job.
Amazing airmanship and calmness with so low hours.
Well done sir!
Enjoyed watching that. You all did a great job
It made me remember "The Martian" and his quote "I have to math the s__t out this situation".
A soft landing on a rough ground. "The Force is strong in this one".
Congratulations, pilot. 👍
Fantastic forced landing!
Keep flying until the flying is over ... nicely done.
I had a near identical situation happen in a Piper Mirage at about the same altitude in Colorado. I too landed in a hayfield. The only difference was that I had zero forward vis from oil on the windscreen, but I had the experience of several thousand hours under my belt to troubleshoot the dilemma. You handled this beautifully. Well done! I must say the I did have a bit more of an adrenaline release after I finally exited my aircraft. I let out the worlds loudest, “Wheeeewwwwww”!!!! I’m sure was heard for miles. Great job Mate!
Fantastic job prepping this new pilot to handle this scenario SO well. And for sharing the results.
Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it.
Brilliant work man!!! I’m currently getting my private pilot license and watching this was inspiring!
Wow, fantastic story and great piloting! My Dad had an alternator failure in a 182 leaving Logan in Boston, MA, USA to Syracuse, at night. When he realized he was loosing electrical power, he hit the transponder before all went dark. This was the first time he had brought with him a portable receiver and was able to determine that the tower had received his trouble code and cleared him to land. He was fortunate that the engine did continue running. The alternator had mechanically failed and in the process, shorted out and killed the battery. Yay mag ignitions!
100% Deserve more views and subbs. Great content!!!!
Working on it!
Cool as ice.Been there, done that. Good to see another pilot work the checklist, talk himself down and stick with the basics, Aviate, Navigate, Communicate. Good job mate.
well done. As he landed I felt a relief almost like I was sitting on the right seat...
Very well done, brother. God bless you
Kudos, you remained calm all the time 👍👌
Well done on the safe landing.
Great work, nice and smooth!
Cool as a cucumber Kyle. I hope that in a similar situation I would be somewhat as calm and collected. Bravo!
Smoother than any paddocks I've ended up in good to see how you didnt get too nervous until it was time to I can relate to that nice job mate
Wow, perfection mate. Glad you got down safely. What an experience.
The adage sweat when you're training so you don't bleed in the field holds true. The man's training saved the day.
One other thing,how did you get the sling out of the field?
Really nicely done. Professionals all-around. Thank you for the video.
Thank you for your feedback 😊
Glide ratio is king. Although google says sling 2 is only 1:10. Sea Avio Risen UL is 1:23. Handy in a power outage. And always basically. I believe it directly translates to fuel economy.
Parachute might also be handy in rough terrain.
He got flustered at first???? WHEN!?
Me, I'd have just cried, done a quick vlog for the Mrs. to say cya and pointed nose down to make it quick! Lol!!!
Nice work man.
