Any landing you walk away from....

Gonna need new taxiway signs. Love how he calmly turns around like “and that concludes our lesson for today, kids. Signing off”.
 
Looks like his first action was to destroy the evidence :)
 
I vote that it's real...too strange to be fake. Also that nice flop at the end...

Your insomnia question for the day: If the simulation was all you ever knew, how would you ever know it wasn't real?

Jump in the nearest sailboat and see how far you can get.
 
He was a passenger on that landing and the pilot was in the FBO. It does appear as he's turning the yoke to try a steer the plane to the right that he pushes the left rudder pedal (it's difficult to see it clearly).

That camera being on and filming his performance must have been heavy on his mind ...
 
From YT comment, it was a student pilot on solo, somewhere in there there is a NTSB report too

Who the hell signed him off to solo?

I don’t disagree. But I’ve seen some pretty experienced pilots do the same thing when a plane veers left and they panic.

There’s a whole class of accidents from go-arounds that end in a “smoking hole” on the left of the runway. I’ve seen the prelude to that at least once - the plane starts rolling/yawing left and the gut instinct is to “steer” away from the roll/yaw. The only way out is right rudder and pushing the nose down. Neither is natural, and in novel, panic situations instinct can prevail.
 
You could see it going wrong even before he touched down. Started drifting left and did not ever correct.
 
holy hell... some people should not be around planes
 
Same thing happened on my field. Asian pilot came in fast and hit the brakes on touchdown slid off the runway took out a few lights and wound up in the grass. The best part we only have two DPE‘s in our area at the time, and I’m standing with one of them on the ramp while we both watched the guy land. I could only imagine what his check ride was like :)

Nothing about that landing was right.. it was unstabilized, big control inputs, very fast, and he forgot to fly the plane once he flared and just drove off the runway. I don't think what he did is a "common" student learning curve item..

There's only so much an instructor can do.. not everyone has a talent for sports, musical instrument, singing, dancing, skiing, skating, flying, etc. There are people out there who have yet to solo after 100 hrs and have been through 5 instructors. Not saying this guy is one of them, but not everyone has the right stuff to be a pilot. These foreign exchange type programs are not ideal, and I think it forces a lot of otherwise unqualified (or under qualified) pilots into a career that might not be right for them.. and then they end up flying planes into seawalls on VFR days. There was a poster here a few months back saying he needed more time to learn to land but couldn't get it through his school due to XYZ hrs rules and was basic asking for a "favor" for someone to fly with him and not log it

Nuts.
