The engine on the Cessna Aircraft failed mid-flight on Friday right over a busy interstate. With the help of an American Airlines pilot over the radio, the plane was able to land safely.

“The FAA said they will investigate†That is basically their job. why is it reported like news? Lol
That flight instructor should have know the SOP for that kind of failure….of course you land on a highway if it's all you've got.
He was clueless. How is this man an instructor?
idk why people fly cesnas
"Every pilot's worst nightmare"? give me a break.
True hero and airmanship of both pilots and copilots , true officers on flying duty my salute and my applause 👠sir , well done ðŸ‘Â
wow
01:30 Ask George Stephanopolis, who attended Columbia and majored in Political Science at the same time as Obama, if anyone remembers Obama there? (Or did Columbia have a special night school for Indonesian foreign exchange students?) 🙂
"BUuuT he FAA tells us they WiiiIILL investigate!" 😀
Yeah they are required to any time anything like this happens. Great journalism
1:19 hey it’s the El Al retro livery in the background 😀
The FAA investigates every emergency, not just the ones they decide too, as the news reporter implied at the end.
The FAA WILL investigate intensity intensifies
So…..the small plane had a FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR on board and HE didn't know what to do? Some instructor that guy is…..
…Wait…FAA investigates incidents? I think you mean the NTSB.
Odd that the flight instructor is being indecisive but I'm glad everything worked out. There aren't many pilots out there and if we hear a pilot in distress, we always gotta watch each others back. Clear skys and tailwinds forevermore.
Really? A FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR needs advice on how to land an aircraft with a failed engine?
That was maybe the biggest part on my way to the PPL/A, – keep the thing flying and bring it down with plan!
This flight instructor clearly got the wrong job. He should be a barber or selling flowers.
My respect to the coolest AA pilot possible for helping out and saving lives!
If it was a spirit airlines pilot it would’ve been totally different. He would’ve been like ayo can’t help you, I’m currently breaking up a fist fight, but good luck.
The calm reassuring voice of the AA pilot was so important to a good outcome. The landed without hitting anything or anyone so the outcome was as good as it gets.
the faa does not investigate, the ntsb does.
In college, I worked at an airport painting and installing custom interiors in airplanes. We let a pilot at the airport use our hangar to refinish his clothe covered Pitts Special S2 biplane, and he took us each up after he was done to say thanks. He flew the route from DC to DFW 3 days a week, and relaxed by stunting in his Pitts. I was amazed that he could explain what he was doing to me, watch all of the aircraft in pattern, talk on the radio, and fly the plane as if it was nothing. Airline pilots – the good ones – develop patterns that allow them to switch between tasks and attention effortlessly.
Poor student on board. The flight instructor saying 'I'm so scared…'
🤣FAA is savage. No body was hurt but the FAA says it WILL investigate, and whose licence to revoke
Cudos to the aa pilot and the instuctor pilot .
ðŸ‘ÂðŸ‘ÂðŸ‘ÂðŸ‘ÂðŸ‘ÂðŸ‘Â🇸🇪
The AA guy sounds like he's no stranger to landing on the highway lol
Seriously…….. a instructor pilot that doesn't know how to land a plane with an engine out. Landing a plane on the busy highway with a nice mowed median between them. I guess this is what modern hero's are made of today. Better to be lucky than well trained I guess. I would not fly with any of them.
wait… so the instructor lost his calm or was the AA the instructor?… i'm confused….
What kind of bullshit flight instructor was in that Cessna anyway!?
00:29 "Desperately tried to radio ATC but could not get through " ??? What kind of a shitshow do you run out there, Murica?!?!?!
I’m always concerned cars in front of the plane will panic and brake lol good thing they didn’t here!
I can't believe no one is blaming TRUMP for the engine stall…
brah that flight instructor should be fired
Fake.
only thing that needs investigating is
1) Was maintenance properly conducted on the plane , are all the documents necessary etc in order – if so, then no fault from owner of plane.
2) Why did the tower not respond.
Once they have that info, case closed. Engine failures do occur, and tower busy with other major events more important can happen therefore it just will be forgotten as nothing bad happened.
That was some major support. Good job.
I mean, wouldn't it have been smarter to just land on that grass strip anyways? Gear probably gets damaged, but I'd take that over a potential collision with a car any day.
FAKE NEWS!!
That was probably one of the lousiest landings in the history of this airport. But everyone here, particularly me, would like to buy you a drink and shake your hand. And Stryker, I want you to know that when the going got rough, the rough…..
Lol, he says everything was okay BUT the FAA will investigate. Like that’s a bad thing
Life saving advice?
That’s the instructor on the radio?! WTF? My instructor would have said “my airplane,†calmly landed and then told me to get out and direct traffic.
Actually no. He would have had me land the plane and demonstrate a slip or other maneuver in the process. Nothing rattled that guy.
