A Piper PA-32-260 Cherokee Six lost engine power and landed in a field off Jim Crystal Road, north of Denton Enterprise Airport (KDTO), Denton, Texas.
The pilot was the only person on board then and walked away without any serious injuries and the aircraft was not damaged.

This video is all about education. It's designed to give aspiring pilots and air traffic controllers a taste of real-world situations through example scenarios and helpful info. But that's not all! Current pilots and controllers can also benefit by listening to real radio communications from around the globe. This helps them stay sharp and think about how they might handle similar situations.
To create these videos, I keep my ear to the ground on major aviation news and events. I check the dates and time zones to see if I can find recordings of the radio conversations. Then, I become a bit of a broken record myself, listening to them repeatedly to create subtitles and identify key moments. Finally, I whip up some animations (or grab them from ADS-B websites) and combine them into a neat package.

Aviated, navigated, and waited til he was safely down to communicated lol nicely done.

@RetreadPhoto Ай бұрын

But did he truly aviate, if he flew it to a field, instead of a runway?

@davidcubero2137 Ай бұрын

This is precisely WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION! I WANT MY FELLOW PILOTS TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS HOW TO STAY ALIVE! If this Pilot had tried to make it to The Runway, He WOULD NOT HAVE HAD ENOUGH ALTITUDE OR AIRSPEED TO HAVE MADE IT!!! HE WOULD HAVE LIKELY STALLED & SPUN! You trade ALTITUDE For AIRSPEED! He was turning from Base To Final, He DIDN'T Have Much Altitude Or Airspeed to trade! In this situation, you forget about That Runway That's Beyond Your Reach & YOU MAKE AN OFF-AIRPORT LANDING & A Nice, Soft Field Is Where YOU SHOULD LAND YOUR AIRCRAFT IF YOU WANT TO SURVIVE!!!!! So IF Anyone Questions Whether This Pilot AVIATED, NAVIGATED & AS SOON AS HE WAS ABLE, HE COMMUNICATED,,,THE ANSWER IS A RESOUNDING YES!!!!!! This Is A "Non-Event," In That No One Was Injured, No Property Was Seriously Damaged & This Pilot Went Home! So I Join With This Commenter In Saying "WELL DONE!!!"

Nice job pilot! Don't try and stretch that glide over the trees when you have a good field right in front of you. A solid short field landing saved the nose gear, prop and engine. Outstanding.

@RetreadPhoto Ай бұрын

Lucky. I won’t say outstanding pilot until I hear about the checklists and rule out any potential operator error.

@EllsworthJohnson-ui1xm Ай бұрын

Not sure why such a wide pattern, but the pilot did do a good job and not trying to stretch his glide.

@Thumper43230 Ай бұрын

I thought he was wide also, but I am glad he was OK

@Chibbs.E Ай бұрын

I travel past this airfield a few times a month. Pattern could be wide due to those tree lines for this exact situation. That's my only guess.

@ghtaboma Ай бұрын

Pilot, very calm, almost like this had happened before. Fortunate, many fields available to land on.

@phillipzx3754 Ай бұрын

It's nice when industry/housing hasn't been built up all around an airport. Lots of nice fields to pick from.

@RetreadPhoto Ай бұрын

The trade off is you have to deal with a particular female controller there that has to Google stuff, still comes up with the wrong answer, and illogically argues with knowledgeable, trained, professional, experience CFIs while ignoring other traffic in the area.

@ryan_robertson Ай бұрын

Well done glad there were fields available. I know the piper arrow sinks like a rock when u pull the power. Suspect Cherokee does too.

That's not a crash. That's an off-field emergency landing, obviously very well managed to avoid a crash. Good job by that pilot. Plane was back in the air 6 days later. Very Impressive landing in that case.

@bungee7503 Ай бұрын

I’m a glider pilot. I think it would be useful for power pilots to spend some time practising power off landings. Field landings are simply accepted as part of gliding.

@Michael-ig8ne Ай бұрын

Looks like an off airport landing and not really a CRASH but that’s just me

@ImpendingJoker Ай бұрын

Still classified as a crash/emergency landing.

This is probably a stupid question but when a plane lands in a field how do they get it back to the airport?

Lady ATC really needs to listen better

@evilpaintballvw Ай бұрын

Her name is Brenda Mooney. She was the air traffic controller a couple of months ago that was known for getting into an argument with a pilot and stating she was correct about a flight procedure because she googled it. She is not liked by 95% for the pilots that fly out of Denton.

Thank you. I use Adobe After Effects. Some of my videos show the altitude and the speed.

If you have to do a off-field landing, this looks like there couldn't have been a better place to land.

@RetreadPhoto Ай бұрын

What did he forget on his checklist, assuming he was performing his checklists? Carb heat, fuel pump, tank selector, prop, mix?

@lindaschad9734 Ай бұрын

I'm a pilot, but I'm unfamiliar with ATC's use of the phraseology "shorten". Can someone educate me on this please?

@RetreadPhoto Ай бұрын

“Shortened” means there is some sort of work in progress at either end of the runway, and the pilot does not have the full length of the runway. Which with a full load on a hot and humid day with full tanks, they may need. It’s a reminder that they need to check the NOTAM and their POH to ensure their plane’s performance can meet the requirements of the length of runway that is still available to them.

@Cub726 Ай бұрын

Great job and it was not a crash!

@thebuddyboss Ай бұрын

What does shorten mean? I’ve never heard that before

@cbf2832 Ай бұрын

Probably construction at the end of the runway causing the full length of the runway to not be available.

Unscheduled landing off-airport in an unprepared field not intended for air traffic with unknown damage to the aircraft and likely no ability to takeoff. Emergency landing or crash, does it really matter?

@RckyMtneer Ай бұрын

They are not real emergency ATC communications unless the controller makes the pilot in distress, who should be her main focus, repeat his traffic at least once.

@John-nc4bl Ай бұрын

Some farm fields make good landing and take-off surfaces and light aviation used many farm fields for take-offs and landings in the bye gone days. Dont allow yourself to be 'spooked' if it is not a paved runway.
