after takeoff. (If you experience problems downloading the file, right

At 500 feet, the throttle is retarded to idle and the aircraft makes an immediate turn to land on Runway 29. This illustrates how quick headwork and practice can allow for a safe landing in the event of a low altitude power loss. The camera is mounted on the vertical stabilizer of N9595W looking forward. N9595W is owned and piloted by Jan Zysko, NASA. |
