There we had all there: nice weather, nice XC flight, landing at "new airport" for me and adrenaline too. My friends engine stopped and he had an emergency landing at field.
Learning Trike landings with the low approach technique. In addition to the low approach landing technique, a surprise engine failure landing is demonstrated.
A bit of a boring video I know, and yes it is much easier when the landing site is one that is very familiar and available. But still, a good bit of exercise now and then to learn to judge your descent and distance judging skills.
The wind was rough, I flew for about 45 mins or so and got tired of fighting with the wing and decided to land, I didn't like my first landing approach so decided to go around, turns out the second landing attempt was not that great either. In extreme scenarios, a trike could flip.
I did the engine oil leak test. It was first flight after repair engine. The owner of LZDV airport told me: You are crazy! You did the engine test and you used it at full throttle with 45°climbing...
How else could I do the test?
