Having One Of Those Days?

Looks like this pilot has a problem. The good news is that this is a Piper Archer which has a final approach airspeed of 65 knots. If the fuel tanks are empty and its just a couple of people in the airplane (in other words you are light), you can land as slow as 50-55 knots. I've flown many hours in Piper Archer's. I've found them to be dependable, easy to fly aircraft.

I'm sure glad I'm not this pilot. To be completely honest, while training for my flight review I never practiced for this kind of emergency. Hmmm, I just remembered, you cannot see your landing gear while flying an Archer, I wonder if this pilot even knows he has a problem.

I wonder what happened when this pilot attempted to land. Hey, anyone out there in the blogosphere know?? Well, if you do, post a comment and let us know.

I got this picture from a site that has a bunch of interesting airplane crash pictures. Check it out, I know you'll find it interesting: http://zeeb.at/oops/
