dzoellner Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: "Advice for Emergency Dead Stick Lan..." 10-21-04, 08:20z  I'm a brand new Extra 300 owner... this my dream plane and I am truly excited to own it! I am in the process of a 15 hour checkout per insurance requirements (and per common sense ) So far, I only have 2 hours logged in the Extra. My biggest fear in the Extra is an emergency, off-airport landing... especially if the engine fails. With a high approach speed and potentially fast sink rate, I imagine some scary scenarios for landing. I have heard some say they would simply bail out of the aircraft if the engine quit, but I am not sure I agree. What advice can you give regarding this type of emergency landing in the Extra 300? (For reference, I am a 1000+ hour multi-engine, instrument rated pilot, with 40 hours tailwheel time in a Cessna 150 Aerobat. I know... going from an Aerobat to an Extra is quite a leap... ) Regards, DZoellner Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
