Juan Browne video
Impressive dead stick landing
- Thread starter Just a civilian pilot
- Start date
Amazing on that uneven area, that the plane looked undamaged!
Summary: "Juan Browne" copied a video shown thousands of different times all over the internet, he added commentary, and commercials, to sell T shirts, and to get hits on his Youtube channel. For shame.

I don’t watch Juan Browne for entertainment, I watch it to learn.
If you think it’s inappropriate, or shameful, don’t watch it or report it to the MODS.
Lots of people, including here, including myself, respect his commentary, humble opinion, and expertise.
I don't know all the technical talk but is any landing you walk away from is a good one still a thing?

I wouldn’t have my job if I routinely did hard landings.

For you pilots, was he in control after the first bounce? He did a good job getting down on the golf course then it looked like lucky bounces til it stopped. Cool head and luck for the win.
No, he had scrubbed all most of his speed and the wing wasn't producing enough lift to fly anymore. He may have had some control surface authority, but it wasn't much. He was pretty much along for the ride.
His analysis, and commentary, is what makes his channel.
If you don’t find value in his analysis, don’t watch, but I think he’s one of the best aviation analysts and commenters in existence.
Nothing shameful about that.
It was always a “tongue in cheek” comment, but in this case - apt.
Seized engine (hence the stationary prop comment)?
Yes. It doesn't happen very often, but it can happen. Stock piston airplane engines are very old and very proven technology, making them super reliable. The worse incident I ever had in a piston engine airplane was a magneto failure. Because there are dual magnetos, we just flew back to the airport and parked the airplane at the maintenance shop, walked inside and let them know a mag needed to be replaced. A non-event.
Great job, but I found the golfers even more interesting. Heck, back what I was younger I would’ve been running over to help, but these guys look like a couple of meerkats.
I was always told when taking flight lessons to "Fly the Aircraft, everything else comes second. "

When dealing with emergencies ( or anytime ):
“Aviate, navigate, communicate”
“Aviate, navigate, communicate”
In the event of engine failure, select a landing spot and stay with it. Don't change your mind; is the way I heard it.

Pretty much.
Same in a two engine jet and you lose both engines.
“ we are ditching in the Hudson “.
It took experience and a cool head to rule out other tempting glide options.
