	Unpowered Jet Airliner Landings
		The crew was unsuccessful in their attempts to restart the engines, and had to execute an emergency landing on a grass strip on a levee on the Intercoastal Waterway (after initially planning to ditch the aircraft on the waterway).
		During the landing roll, the nose landing gear collapsed resulting in structural damage to the airframe.
		Although the landing gear was damaged during the high speed landing, the crew was able to stop the aircraft on the runway.

		Deadstick landings will hold no terrors for this person and he will have experience of hand launching models.
		DEADSTICK LANDING It is not part of the Silver schedule, but it is something that a pilot of silver standard should practise and be happy with.
		Simulated deadsticks are now part of the bronze test, but now practise completely stopping the engine and landing on the runway.

		After the landing, a fire in the nose of the plane was extinguished by go-cart racers with hand-held fire extinguishers.
		Because the nose landing gear was not extended, the tail of the plane ended up three stories in the air, causing passengers exiting the rear emergency slide to slam quite hard into the asphalt.
		After the landing, the pilot and co-pilot were praised for saving the lives of the 61 passengers on board.

		As tow aircraft land, each would taxi up to an assigned serial of gliders where technicians would fasten the tow cables and then transit to the flight line for departure, a procedure that should last no longer than one to two hours on the ground, unless the tugs need to refuel.
		Six gliders landing in total darkness, only yards away from the two inter-connected bridges, provided the means for a single infantry company to rush the bridges, assault the garrison, and capture these vital transportation arteries, all within twenty-five minutes.
		The exceptionally unfavorable landing conditions should have induced them to land in a single area away from the occupied objectives with their effective defense fire, and then to capture the decisive points (airport and seaport) intact in a subsequent conventional infantry attack at the point of main effort.

		Landing on a dark night (I'm talking with power now) is pretty hard work without runway lights, if it's a long runway (800 metres) its not too bad.
		Landed and he landed behind me and wanted to know if I was all right and needed any help.
		Landed at the airport with out incident but the instructor made me push the plane the last 50 ft because I slipped to make the runway and bled off to much speed to make it to the ramp.

		March 17 2004, 8:28 AM Deadstick was the name for the glider landings by 6th airborne to take the Orne River and Caen Canal bridges which were later renamed Horsa Bridge and Pegasus Bridge.
		During Mallard, twenty-nine other Hamilcars landed with the rest of the armoured reconnaissance regiment of the 6th airlanding brigade of the 6th airborne division.
		Thirty Hamilcars were supposed to land but one had to ditch in the channel due to flak.

		I said before that I don't believe much in practicing circuits because I only wear out tires and brakes and one landing can be totally different from the last, so all I do is watch the numbers and the slope and take the lights with a grain of salt, and try to let her settle.
		A hard habit to break, was deadstick landings with no power at all, but then again, an RV is no Cessna 120.
		Finally, landing together and taxiing to the pumps always brings out the guys who want to ask all about RVs and wither thou art bound and from whence you came etc. and it never gets tiresome.

		good landing position saves time, as does a "roller" landing.
		Perfect your landings, practice deadstick approaches, practice simple aerobatics, and fly in
		A roller landing or “Touch and Go” is a great way of improving your landings.

		During an off-airport emergency landing, a poor outcome can often be the result of overshooting the landing area.
		The goal of the experiment was to determine what factors influenced the subject's judgment of the anticipated touchdown point in a “deadstick,” or unpowered, emergency landing.
		So far she has determined that the data are consistent with what happens in the real world; that is, subjects tended to overshoot the safe area in the test as they often do in unsuccessful off-airport emergency landings.

	RC Universe - Are landings that important? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		I may be wrong about this, but I think that slipping is not used for crosswind landings per se, but used when you are too high and don't want to go around for some reason.
		Afterall, a bad landing can kill a full size pilot, whereas a bad landing to a RC pilot just means a few more bills for a new model.
		I suppose an uncontrolled landing by a RC plane can not be just as deadly to others in the vicinity of the flying field.

		On takeoff, I began by applying the throttle and maintained the heading with the rudder; the plane requires a fair bit of up-elevator to prevent it from tipping over at the beginning.
		Landings are a breeze and don’t require as much airspeed as other scale planes I have flown.
		The landing gear are durable and solid and extremely reliable.

		The rules were modified slightly in that we had 3 points for a cut and a 2 and 1 point landing task.
		The initial round was flown with the landing section for 2 points being 3' radius circle and 1 point being within 6' but after the first round we decided that the 6' circle would be the 2 point bonus and if nobody got that, the closest person would get a single point.
		With up to 5 points available to people per round, since we allowed the landing task even on "cut" rounds, The contest was always at stake and the point spread seemed better than previous contest.

		I completed it in the spring of '91 and tried to fly it for a number of years with a Fox Eagle 74.
		It was a love/hate relationship with as many deadstick landings as otherwise.
		It lands fast and the Goldberg retractable gear are not really durable enough for its weight.

		The landing gear comprised a set of aft steel skids and a double nose wheel for landing on the dry lake bed at Edwards AFB, California.
		During the test program, there was one in-flight fatality, one non-fatal crash landing when a landing skid failed to deploy, and one ground explosion with pilot Scott Crossfield safely in the cockpit.
		Landings will employ a powered final approach, in contrast to the powerless glide and deadstick landing of the Space Shuttle.

		Some say to put it so that if (when?) it deadsticks, the prop will windmill to a horizontal position (and lessen the chance for breaking the prop).
		With hundreds of deadstick landings (out of 6300 landings for the plane), I haven't had the prop touch yet.
		I've kept a log of the flight times and number of landings since the first flight in 1997.

		"already throttled down" and the fact that the instructor "said he knew that it was a deadstick when I throttled down" meant that he was already in for a deadstick landing.
		It was great there were a few of use new guys at the field last night and when one of use were up and trying something new like landings everyone got off the field and gave each other room to be able to try the new stuff.

		I did not intend to suggest that losing power and having to make an off-airport landing in a light plane is a common occurrence...
		What I intended to convey is that when there is such a landing, it is quite often true that there are no injuries involved in the incident.
		I believe my experience is indicative of that fact: In 45 years of flying, I have experienced only four deadstick landings, and was not injured at all during any of them.

		Bob Hoover, with engines off, pressed his Shrike Commander into a deadstick loop, eight-point roll, and 180-degree turn before landing and taxiing right up to the crowd.
		It was a very compelling demonstration of how, even with engines out, a pilot can use attitude and airspeed to maneuver, land, and taxi an airplane safely.
		When I first flew with my husband, Bruce, in our Cessna 182, I remember most vividly the instruction that in the event of a crash, I was to open my door before we hit the ground.

	The Douglas C-47 Dakota
		One of the C-33s was refitted with a DC-3 tail for evaluation purposes and redesignated "C-38".
		Early tests were performed on a C-47 performing "deadstick" landings, and then the engines were pulled out and the nacelles faired over.
		The "taildragger" configuration of the aircraft was also an advantage for rough-field operation, since having the aircraft's center of gravity behind the main wheels meant that the C-47 had less of a tendency to pitch forward when riding over obstructions, and also kept the engines and cockpit riding high above dust and debris.

		I learned to fear the surface of a river such as the "Mighty" Mackenzie when it only appears to have frozen thick enough to land on, and of how to burn firepots beneath an engine in a dark winter of the far north so that you can start it again.
