Both pilots are well known and respected in the Puget Sound area. Amazing
that the pilot of the 170 was able to fly his plane at all: This is the second NTSB report I've read where pilots were able to maintain control of an engine-less plane. How is this possible? Without an engine up front, the CG would pitch so far aft that the plane should fall like a maple leaf -- yet these two guys were able to nose the plane over and maintain flight. How can this be? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
