Although on a point of order, referring to the engine cutting out as a "stall" is a poor turn of phrase. He had an engine failure.

The term "stall" means something entirely different in the context of aviation. ie the wing no longer giving lift due to either insufficient airspeed or too high angle of attack. Usually pilot error rather than mechanically induced.

If you stall, you aren't going to land. You are either going to recover or crash, unless you were very close to the ground with the undercarriage down at the time.

Anyway. Excellent reflexes. Prop hadn't even stopped moving by the time he got the first "fuck!" out.

Amusing that at 22 he's been an instructor for 2 years, while we wouldn't even give him a license to ride a CB500.

I may be wrong, but the engine seemed to restart easy enough when he tried. He waited twenty seconds before even attempting it. Not saying he should have stayed in the air but he was at very low altitude, it would have bought him a lot more time.

Step 1 - Aviate - if you can fly the aircraft, fly the aircraft
Step 2 - Navigate - if you can see where you want to go, go there
step 3 - Communicate - once you're going there, tell someone.

simple! Smile
