Flying Lesson Five: Engine Failures

May, 20, 2011, at this point I have gotten quite comfortable in the aircraft. I have been looking forward to simulated emergency landings for quite sometime. It turns out they are quite fun. I feel I could easily land the plane virtually anywhere in an emergency situation in average flying conditions. Tony pulls back the power to idle and I have to slow the plane to 60 knots, determine the wind direction, find a suitable field for landing and land there. Thats all there is to it, piece of cake! And its pretty exciting, I enjoy scaring the people in the lower valley!
