What does it take to get transferred to L-39 as previous experience? Minimum of 1000 hours total time and an instrument rating for an EAA (Experimental Aircraft Authorization) in the L-39 Cheers Pete Eagle Driver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goes to show all your training has paid off and your nerves of steel prevailed. How soon do you think you will have the plane flying again? Thanks my friend- The damage isn't too bad...just expensive. It'l be a couple months for sure before we're flying again- Cheers Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably taking this whole "teaching the student how to deal with emergencies" thing a bit too far but hey, whatever works for ya Seriously though Pete, huge kudos for keeping your cool and getting you both down safely. Glad you're ok. Looks like the damage will buff right out so you should be back in the air in no time. Cheers. Thanks Gdub...It all worked out. Once the jet was airborne, it was in no immediate danger..certainly not time critical..(we weren't on fire, weren't running out of gas..the engine hadn't quit ..) So I had time to come up with a plan and brief the student and everyone on the ground about how this was going to go. Everyone did a great job- Cheers Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn M Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) I was gonna say, might be time for different paint job but I dont have a real airplane so I really have no room to talk lol Edited November 7, 2018 by Shawn M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaninaustria Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Pete, am just curious - was it a ceased bearing in the axle? I lost my #4 (outer righthand side main wheel) wheel once at rotation - the bearing had ceased and it got so hot during acceleration the entire wheel unit detached - luckily for us we have two wheels per main gear (Q400).

Cheers, Alan Not sure yet Alan...we were unable to recover the wheel and several other parts. The wheel ended up in a marsh off of the departure end of the runway...we think.

Phartycr0c Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Beautiful landing Pete, any landing you can walk away from is a good one. Another bonus of course, is there will be very little if any damage from fod ingress in the engine due to the high intakes. Oh, and the strobes still work! Beautiful looking aircraft by the way, Glad your both ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geedubelyer Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Beautifully smooth landing Pete. Your humility is second only to your skill as a pilot my friend. I think I may have found a great idea for a diorama...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheetah11 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Nicely done Pete. Looking at the video I am surprised at how little drag there is once the aircraft has touched down. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foam can be an issue if it gets ingested. Well done Pete looks like a text book emergency.

alaninaustria Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Wow, after watching the video I am reminded of an old adage from one of my flight instructors who flew F-86s in the RCAF - no matter what - keep flying the aircraft right up to the point it stops... ditching, landing, no matter what - you nailed this Pete. A true testimony to your skill and the training instilled at the USAF. Cheers Alan Pete Fleischmann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
