Very salty...but delicious.

.....crouch....dive...pull.....doesnt sound so bad after that.
Riding in sucks.
Done twice. Once was a textbook auto, once was not. I broke my femur. It sucked.
Fly, it was off Route 80 in Kingston near Sacred Heart, so you can envision my landing choices on that one..
It happened the other day and thank god it was on a 90 auto...IP took it to a full, no harm, no foul. This was 1.3 hrs into the X (FAM 5, C4101) and the student had already done EPs through the channel
That was my instructor and Fam partner, about five minutes before they came in to pick me up at Spencer. As far as engine failures go, I don't think it gets much better than happening in the middle of a practice 90 Auto. Instructor initially called on UHF that he was restarting due to the student inadvertently rolling the twist grip to close, but the student looked down and saw that the grip was still cracked open, so they decided to call it a day. I haven't flown with many instructors (read any aside from onwing) but if I ever have to ride one in, I'd want my onwing to be the one on the controls. I think he has mad skillz.

A little follow up:
799ed.
A signoff code best used for avionics type gripes. Not so confidence inspiring for powerplant issues.
How did they get the aircraft back to NDZ....truck?
