This young man did an excellent job. Kudos. He's going to be a great airline pilot someday. Also, Foreflight, and ADS-B is the best thing to happen to GA in decades. It's kept me out of trouble more than once. The situational awareness it affords is incredible. I was based at KLLR for years, and losing an engine and contending with the marine layer was an ever present concern. Outstanding interview.
Since discovering Foreflight I have preached far and wide that it is the BEST safety money you will EVER spend in aviation.
Remember when Captain Sully landed that jet on the Hudson River a few years back?
Well, what Matt Keane did was even more impressive. Matt only has a few hundred hours of piloting experience. Sully had thousands of hours as a commercial pilot. Matt couldn't see his emergency landing spot. Sully could SEE the river when he lost power. Big jets are very stable. Matt had to fly that squirrley little Cessna dead-stick, down through 1,000 feet of zero visibility fog, while lining up for an invisible beach, without getting disoriented, stalling, and spinning into the sea. Matt accomplished all this without proper instruments. All he had was an Ipad for navigation and spatial orientation. He popped out of that fog just 400 feet above the ocean, without an engine, and had to bank over to land on that beach. He managed all of this without hurting anyone - or the airplane.
Absolute legend.
Mr. Keane seems very composed, smart, focused, careful, serious, alert, adaptive... We can't wait for him to get to the commercial airlines! He'll take us home!
I recently brought in a few interns close to graduation on a complicated Electrical Engineering job. And they were just like t his! Focused, calm, smart. I have faith!
Word. Id be glad to have him as a pilot on my travels.
You do such a great job Juan of bringing home the crux and essence of the issues and problems! You don't digress and clown around wasting the viewers time with nonsensical garbage. And, I love how you supplement your videos with pictures or data and you go back through your videos and correct any mistakes you've made. Great job!
Agreed, he is great at this and very responsible and respectful in choosing his words. In the sensational clickbait world we live in, it’s nice to see people who still have a sense of decency while conveying accurate information.
@@400_billion_suns Yup! A lot of solid professionals that frequent Juan's content for just that reason. Thanks!
I agree with Ed and Sun ..clearly Juan is gifted with the manner in which his presentations cover all aspects of the accidents
Highly agree and as an airline pilot yourself you are such a humble guy.
@@edkiely2712 agree
If I'm flying commercial years from now and I hear over the tannoy, "Hello ladies and gentleman I'm your captain Matt Keane" I'm going to assume I'm in safe hands. Well handled that pilot. Awesome work. Also great interview Juan. Great work all round.
As a UND grad (1981), you bring well-deserved accolades to their aviation program - particularly the commitment to memory of the procedures to follow when under duress.
To any airline companies out there: I want that man flying my plane and I don't care how many hours of experience he has (yes, I know there are legal requirements and all but still). That man has something that you just can't effectively teach to anyone who doesn't already have it in them and that is how to stay cool when the shit hits the prop and use whatever you have with you to make the best of a shitty situation. I've never been on a flight that had anything but some issues with a thunderstorm but shit happens and that's the kind of guy I want as PIC if and when it does.
I’d take Juan as the PIC and Matt as SIC ANY day!
I'm gonna guess those passengers discovered they might rethink this flying business after their discovery flight.
Awesome airmanship all the same.
The young man's skills were top notch, but I believe there was a divine hand involved that cleared a section of beach. Am sure his instructors will be proud of his performance.
WOW ! That’s the most incredible story with a great outcome. A low time instructor that did it right . GREAT job Matt. This story should be a mandatory training video that shows an engine failure is not a death sentence if you don’t panic. Thanks Juan for bringing us this story.
I do wish we had more of these stories with great outcomes.
"In an emergency, you don't rise to the occasion, you fall to your level of training". Congratulations for an excellent job!
Excellent episode! Another "must see" for general aviators of all ages, skill levels and flying backgrounds. I suspect if Matt was not so well prepared and experienced in trusting his instruments in the marine layer there would have been a different outcome. Well done, Matt. Well done Juan.
That is seriously impressive. A discovery flight no less?? Well done sir. Also shout out to ForeFlight AHRS
I wish we knew "the rest of the story." Will both passengers ever fly again? Will one or both sign up for flight school? Have they lawyered up, figuring they escaped death so now is the time to buy a lottery ticket with someone else's money? (I believe in CA they have 2 years statute of limitations to file a lawsuit and contest their "assumption of risk" contract they signed to get the ride.)
@@donalddodson7365 that would certainly be an unfortunate outcome. The passengers should be eternally grateful to Matt’s handling of the emergency and leave it at that.
@@erichboese7209 Agree. I would offer to buy Matt a high quality dinner.
@@donalddodson7365 And a bottle of the finest scotch!
@@donalddodson7365 Some people are never satisfied , that would be YOU! Not any wheres in your comment did you compliment the pilot ,you're just bringing up all negatives of this kind of event ! Jerry Springer Show is calling you, they miss you 😕
Wow. Great job. I've landed at Cannon Beach on the Oregon coast... but there's a big difference between flying with instruments and flying blind and without any of that stuff. AMAZING.
This is why him having Foreflight with AHRS (from the portable Stratus) is so important. It provides backup attitude, GPS ground track and a moving map. I have a similar set of backup in mine (Dynon pocket EFIS + Foreflight w/ AHRS).
Wow, just wow... If anyone is looking for a CFI, I think we just found the golden one! Thanks for presenting it, Juan!
Awesome job Captain! UND turns out really proficient instructors 👍
This is one of the rarest interviews you will ever do Juan. Great job, I love how you lead the conversation with your aviation background and experience. A true professional. There is a good reason why you're so popular... it's because you're damn good at it. Keep up the awesome reporting!
Totally agree!
Great job! That was the cloud deck when I shot the LPV into Watsonville
Another one from my old stomping grounds…..grew up in Santa Cruz…. fog was a frequent issue! Excellent recovery Matt!
This was the most suspenseful interview I’ve heard you do. Well done! Matt is exactly the type of pilot I’d want in an emergency…
Great job Matt! Juan is right when he says you got a great story for your airline interview! UND is an excellent program and you are the end result of that good training. Please use this opportunity to educate other pilots on how you performed this, in my opinion, perfect outcome to an emergency situation. Who knows what might have happened if you were not the pilot that day. Good luck at the airlines. 👍
This young man's mentor's are teaching our future mentor's . Thank you for posting this video.
Thanks, Juan for sharing this. IMC for 1000', lucky ForeFlight was available, but still breaking out and seeing ocean only would grit your teeth. Most impressive is not flipping it in the sand, and prop to Univ ND for great training. A significant number of pilots I flew with were trained there.
JUAN NICE INTERVIEW that young man Matt is what we need in the Aviation industry cool head clear positive thinking when you see young men and women like this I feel there will be excellent pilots to replace the retiring incredibly experienced pilots that get us to our destinations now.well done Matt I'm sure this little event and interview with Juan will have the Airlines calling you mate again well done
Cheers Kym

I don't know Matt, but after hearing this story, I would be glad to have him as a pilot. His knowledge and use of very limited resources, coupled with low altitude and IMC, during an emergency is very respectable. With having several options with different outcomes, he chose the best decisions for the situation.
I love he is Airline pilot motivated. If you are not comfortable or able to fly but love the life of flight, ATC always needs good people. Pursue greatness, folks.
. Boy that backup artificial horizon in Foreflight sure saved his bacon! Choosing the beach was an excellent choice. Have had my own deadstick landing due to a carburetor issue but didn’t have IMC to contend with. Awesome job Matt!
Lost a nephew two years ago on Manresa State Beach. It’s so good to hear a story of saving three lives on that beach. Thanks Juan for this story!
Superb video, great job on the interview, you didn't intimidate him, you put him in his comfort zone with the right questions, right terminology & assumptions that made him realize - that's how Juan would have done it! Really helped open the flow of the conversation.
Great future ahead of this remarkable young man, even if not flying. He has the right stuff.
What a situation! Well done Matt! I would fly with you any time. You are going to be a great commercial pilot.
Now, Matt deserves to be called a great pilot, great decision making, great performance! Saving life’s is what great pilots do!
And this with very low hours. He is a role model, my highest respect! CONGRATULATIONS, well done‼️
This outcome will make Dan Gryder happy. Juan, you and Dan both do a wonderful job of covering aviation incidents and accidents to help people become better pilots. Thanks for the great coverage of all of your videos. Cudo's to Dan Gryder as well for his Vref and DMMS training. God Bless!!! GREAT JOB!!!!!
Less than 400 hrs, great training, ForeFlight and Stratus 2, and maintained control through IFR conditions. No injuries! Superb job Matt! God bless you!
What a remarkable young man. To experience this event with around 300+ total hours and maintain composure is amazing. He may not have the hours yet but he has every other skill he needs to be a successful candidate for and major airline job. As a retired airline pilot I know Juan would agree we would love to see young aviators like Matt Kean working at our airline (American).
One thing you never want to hear from the pilot after the landing: "that was luckY!" Great job and what a future this kid has in front of him.
Matt "Cool head" Keane, good job! Breaking out at 400' and then making a turn less than 30 degrees to line up with the beach..... so this guy basically did his own non-precision Zulu approach at minimums with a misaligned approach course and runway......more or less. Nice job getting down safe and sound. All the training paid off. He used his vfr, ifr, and stick and rudder skills to get it done.
Terrific young man. Remarkable chain of events. Excellent interview, not out of the ordinary for Juan Browne, best of the best.
I think Matt is going to have a sunny career in the airlines. What company wouldn't hire a kid who can keep his head screwed on that straight during as severe a crisis as any low-time pilot could imagine? This event is also special in light of all the recent fatal mishaps in general aviation, that it had a great outcome for everyone. I'm going to forward the link of this video to my son-in-law, who is also on the airline track, he's a CFII in Miami, and had also had a recent emergency similar to this one. He had his DPE's son as a student and had a partial power failure on takeoff (failed magneto), but made a safe landing on the parallel runway. Matt, you and my SIL Jorge are carrying the torch for all the new pilots who will be our future of commercial aviation. Bravo Zulu to you.
One last thing; did the passengers on this discovery flight discover that they still want to become pilots? You set the bar for them.
Amazing 👏 So glad this young man memorized instructions & kept his cool. It helped his passengers too to stay calm. Thank you Juan for bringing him on your channel. Such a positive outcome Praise God 🙌❤️👏
Amazing-stick to your training! great video, great outcome, thank you Juan
This is the kind of young man who should be fast tracked into an Airline job...some Pilots are naturals and excell...
WOW! Congrats, Matt! I hope your career brings you to AA. I'm retired now, but I'd be so privileged to be a passenger on one of your flights.
What a great job putting the airplane down in a situation that you were in. I’m so proud that you put the airplane down and you walked away. Kudos.
I lost a front oil seal one time that dumped oil all over everything. Fortunately, it was severe clear, an airport DIRECTLY below me, and no air or ground traffic! One 360 degree turn and I was on a very short final in a Tri-Pacer that flew like a brick . None of the stress factors that Matt had to deal with. I just put on a hat so that I could take it off to you, Matt. I'm impressed.
I took my discovery flight in a Tripacer with a 20 dollar coupon cut out of Flying magazine from my Jr High school library .
Rode my bike 12 miles to get there, with no knowledge by my parents of the adventure.
“Where is your permission slip from your parents?”
I ran out of the office and came back in looking sad.
I missed them !
He talked to me for a while and I guess having read all the Frank Kingston Smith books like “I’d rather be flying “ and everything else in my school and public library paid off.
We pre flighted the plane and flew!
I actually was so small I could not see over the dash so when he said I could fly I used the turn and bank indicator as reference.
He said I did great and perhaps he was telling the truth?
Anyway 20 bucks then was like 200 now so that was my last flight till my uncle ( Sam) provided me a 45 minute ride in a T-2 jet trainer.
I got my gliders license later but never my power.
Long story making me understand what trouble I could have gotten the CFI in if something went wrong in the Tripacer!
No parental permission.
Anyway I had my first lesson under IFR condtions since I couldn’t see out even without a hood…
What a great kid...he's gonna make a great airline pilot, I hope!
All I can say to Mr. Keane is "Job well done". A bright future awaits you in the aviation industry.👍
GREAT INTERVIEW Juan! EXCELLENT! SO glad to see a Happy Outcome! Kudo's to the young man who pulled this off! We need more pilot's like him! Very HUMBLE young man, that's what keeps Pilot's like him safe, no ego, simple humility and the determination to be the best he can be! 👍
I’ve been following your channel since the early days of the Oroville Spillway coverage. This is the best interview that you have done. Very engaging and professional. Great job Juan!
What an amazing job this guy did. Fantastic! Looking forward to him bringing that level of competency to commercial airlines!
Wow! Best of all possible outcomes.Excellent interview with a sharp and well spoken young pilot. Thanks Juan!
First class interview and excellent job by the pilot.
It's so nice to hear a positive outcome from a young CFI in almost impossible conditions... I have a full glass panel in my plane but I still have ForeFlight going on my iPad and Garmin Pilot on my phone during my flights... I have over 3000 hrs but still want every resource I can get just in case of situations like this... Hats off to that Pilot!
This is a terrific channel. Great interview and kudos to that young man keeping his cool and saving everyone.
Matt you have a bright future as a pilot. Great Job as usual Captain Brown!
Always need a story with a happy ending. A well trained pilot, well behaved passengers and a little help from above. Thanks Juan.
The passengers in the ‘Discovery’ flight have discovered a not so lingering interest in aviation.
Edit: This is the kind of pilot who the airlines need.
Depends on their character. Don't be so fast to assume everyone is so easy to discourage.
@@cageordie
You’re not familiar with dry/cynical humor? Well, this is it.
@@ibnewton8951 After all this time you should know tone doesn't work well in text.
@@cageordie
Would emojis soothe you? If so I’ll be sure to use them next time - just for you.
Let me know. xoxoxo
@@ibnewton8951 LOL! Do you always take things as a personal affront? Poor fragile little flower. LOL!
He put it down on the beach and survived, rather than going for a road and hitting something. Awesome job, Matt! You'll be an excellent airline pilot soon.
As a non-pilot, it always amazes me that people can become flight instructors with such little flight experience. I've got to say, Matt certainly seems to have the right stuff!
It is actually a lot of time. There are countless more hours of preflight, ground training, etc that don't count in these hours.
I was glad to hear that he went to UND. My granddaughter just started there in the aviation program.
I’d love to have this young man as a captain on one of my future flights. Cool, calm, and collected.
Yup.. for sure..! He may very well be the next airline capt. to land in the Hudson..!! Just kidding, of course... :-)
No snowflake here. Your parents must be very proud (and relieved). Well done Matt
Kid did a great job; Ive always thought during an in flight emergency you should save your plane, your passengers, and your self-not necessarily in that order😀
Saving your plane shouldn't be a consideration in a situation like this. If the plane goes in the ocean or gets mangled but everyone's okay, that's a good outcome. That's important because in an emergency what's right for saving lives may be something that will destroy the plane.
Aviate, navigate, communicate! What an awesome young pilot with a great career ahead of him.
What a clear thinking, unflappable young man? Dare I say it; from the same mold as you, Juan? And your interview technique was masterful. You were living every second of that flight and thus asking all the right questions. With all the times you said; "Wow!" we could tell how serious matters were and how impressed you were with the outcome.
Well done Matt Keane and well done Juan Browne, as ever.
Amazing Matt Keane! A very bright future as an airline pilot.
Great job for both of you….good heads up video to keep in mind the ‘what ifs’…👍👍 Matt has a great future in aviation!
Wow, he's one competent human being! You said, it Juan, "brilliant."
Great interview Juan. Some folks are born with natural talent in something. Music, engineering, math etc. This young man is a natural aviator. Well done. I bet he gets two new students.
Matt, well done sir!!! You saved three lives! Proud of you!
This was an incredible outcome! I will be honored to share a flight deck with Matt in the future. I hope this didn't completely scare the discovery flight couple away from aviation for too long.
Matt passed the "keeping your head" test, which you don't get from the safety net of a flight simulator. The only real test for that is in an actual emergency and he passed it with flying colors.
Hell with the 1500hrs needed, the kid has already proven he's a thinker, calm, and competent Enough.
I say let him interview right now.. get the kid into a training class...
Good job Matt.
Thanks for the interview Juan
Yes!!
Cool, calm and collected! Nice job, Mr. Keene!
What a fantastic young man! Kept his head together and followed the steps perfectly to a safe and incredible outcome. Congratulations to both Matt for handling this emergency as well as it could be handled and to Juan for sharing this incredible story with all of us! Good stuff!
Gotta stayed cool, calm and collected under pressure ....... Matt you did great and saved many lives including yours and your passengers and GOD knows how many others on the ground. Great job ! Thanks Juan for this inspiring story of this young man !
"Yeah, it was right about then that my IPad battery died..." I was almost expecting to hear that! Great job Matt and pax, and Juan you a very good interviewer!👍
A young Sully ! Wow, great interview. I would fly with him any day. Great job.
Thanks Juan, I got a big kick out of how you celebrated this young airman's success. You were beaming thru out the interview. Sure beats reporting on the fatal accidents.
Agreed. I love Juan's obvious respect and admiration for this young pilot. Juan is always ready to recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of the young, and as you say Phil, his face was "beaming through out the interview"! As for the interview itself, Juan handled it masterfully without getting in the way of the story or the young pilot telling it. Very impressive!
Well done Matt Keane!
Amazing story!
What a great heart warming story, this pilot did everything right to ensure a positive outcome. It is sad to say that so many times situations like this go so very wrong, this young man has demonstrated with the correct training a positive outcome can be assured.
Wow! Really quite a story. Took me back the part about breaking through the clouds to see only the open ocean. Sounds like this was a matter of both Lady Luck and good skill. Also coming to a stop only 30 ft. from the lifeguard! Must have woken him up! I can just see it - no engine, quiet - suddenly *Poof!* there's a Cessna that materialized right in front of you on the beach! Glad everyone's alright. Matt can be my instructor any day 😀
My favorite content on this channel are the interviews with pilots who've been through events, I sure hope you do more Juan. It's always great to have the pilot to talk to instead of a bad outcome.
I get so emotional watching great interviews like this. So proud of the pilot to use the knowledge, training, and technology available to him for a terrific outcome. Smooth sailing sir!
Excellent job sir 🎖
Calm cool and collected. Awesome job! Great situational awareness. Fantastic outcome!
GOD BLESS YOU, MATT!
Great job 👏🏼 and solid intestinal fortitude!
May your every aviation dream be realized!
I also hope the passengers realized that even emergencies can turn out well 👍🏼
Great job Matt! and thank goodness you had an ipad, foreflight and ADSB in. good situ and good stick saved the day for sure.
This such a welcome change from previous reports of folks augering in with no survivors. So glad you could do this one and a huge Atta Boy to the pilot for pulling this off.
Amazing, I flew N915L from SNS to HAF and back last October. Unbelievable work
Wow! I live near the coast, with frequent marine layer (even had some fog in this heat wave). I never even think about what if something happens to a GA pilot like this when they're flying over my head. If every pilot would stay this cool, and use the available tools, I could continue not worrying about it. Fly safe-- do the "old pilot" thing.
That's the kind of pilot I want flying the airplane when I'm in the air.
This reminds me of Sully's qualities: keeping cool. Quick assessment of whether to head to an airport or not, deciding to perform the rather difficult option versus the easier, but more dangerous one. And a perfect landing on a challenging surface.
This is my favorite kind of aviation video. I've been working on my instrument rating and have kept the iPad out of the equation until recently. My CFII always has his with us and he has a Stratus to go with the ADSB out in the aircraft. Outstanding airmanship on this flight!!
Great job Matt Keane! Dan Gryder in his latest video states in an engine-out situation never land on a freeway as there are too many obstacles and it very rarely has a good outcome. Instead, choose a farmer's field and land with your gear retracted or in Matt's case the beach!
His gear was down and welded but he managed it just fine.
Give me a corn or bean field over a road with cars and wires any day - gear up and don’t stall it - you’ll walk away. Matt made all the right choices. 👍
Loved this story! Thanks for posting this interview for us. Super effort from Matt 👍 All the best for the rest of his career.
Very well done!!! Thanks for getting this story out.
"We’re gonna be on the beach"
"I’m sorry, say again," the controller responds.
For Matt... Excellent Job! Just amazing. Juan, thank you for sharing this as always. This was handled just perfectly. Great use of resources and such a good example of professional airmanship. It is so easy to find examples when things do not go well or there are examples of poor airmanship. However, this is an example of what happens when you use good headwork and professionalism in flight. There is such a double edged sword to being "feet wet" you have a much lower risk of obsticles but the prospect ending up in the drink.
Any pilot who is going to be flying over water, I strongly suggest you take water egress training. If you can can't then keep at least one thing in mind that is essential and over looked... get a reference point prior to impact. Remember, the aircraft will likely roll forward and invert. Now... forward is back and back is forward; up is down and down is now up. Wait for motion to stop, look for bubble and follow the bubbles. If you can, disconnect ICS and open your door prior to contact with the water; however do not let go of your reference point with the airframe until rapid motion has stopped.
Matt, having flown for the USCG... I can not say enough how your exceptional airmanship resulted in a phenominal outcome. This is the type of airmanship the military give out Air Medals for. JOB WELL DONE! BRAVO ZULU!
