Amazing word choice, and with highly impressive emotional composure. But here's a question: what would you do if at the final point of navigation you were pointed at meaningful automobile traffic? So it came down to your life vs. whoever you might crush or kill from the chain reaction on the ground? Luckily he threaded through what he first sensed was significantly dense automobile traffic. What if he hadn't had a hole to squeeze into? Would you veer to the median or the shoulder? And would it make a difference if you were carrying 160 souls, vs. only one?
Bill Woo tough question. As the other guy says it depends. I think it would real depend also on the type of person you are. Last second decision like that would almost be subconscious. But if you where on a large jet full of people I think you have to just land it and risk others. I would like to think I would sacrifice myself if I was a sole pilot if the road was full. But who knows in that moment. Great question 👍🏻👍🏻
@@TheSFMCreators That's where training comes into effect, calm nerves, fly the airplane, and then keep flying the airplane as far into the crash as possible. Staying calm is the number one thing you can do to save your life.
@@JoshuaPlays99 the guy that said he was "freaking out" was the owner of the crashed Piper, circling above in a Cessna. That doesn't negate anything you said about flying the plane, of course.
Let's not forget to praise Foreflight for all they offer to us GA pilots. Enabling the glide advisory feature can be the difference between a forced landing or a stretched glide/stall scenario. In this case, it really helped him and his ADM. Instances like this are why I love the aviation community -- we're all here to help one another.
Decision to land on a road must be very difficult to make but this guy did it and he survived without hurting anyone on the ground. Should he has tried the runway and the crash could have been worse.
@@ckeilah That's a good question, but hindsight is always 20/20. Looking back there will always being something that could've been done better. It's also important to note that Foreflight is a FAA-approved resource. While it won't prevent you from receiving a deviation from the FAA or an investigation from the NTSB, it is highly regarded as the prime tool in the NEXGEN general aviation world. I've personally tested the glide advisory ring while flying in a Cirrus SR20-G2 from 8500ft it's pretty accurate--so accurate that it even accounts for wind in its visual presentation of glide distance. While I am all in favor of trusting one's eyes to judge the distance of a glide, the FAA or NTSB would probably rather hear you used a trusted resource as a back-up vs. just eye-balling it. With that being said, I emphasis that it's assisting his ADM, not replacing it. Also, I did not read the NTSB or any debrief reports... I am just a CFI/CFII/MEI ramblin'.
T. Burns Thanks for the answer. I haven’t really used foreflight, or any apps, for flying. I’m just an old RC sailplaner and an unlicensed right seater, hoping to go left seat seaplane at some point.
I’m no pilot but this is what I love about the aviation community: other pilots with nothing to gain (or very little) from it are always willing to help eachother
@RobGcraft Yup! You’re absolutely right, aviation is a tight community. We’d all drop what we’re doing in a heartbeat to help another aviator out. It’s hits really close to home when someone is in trouble.
The same can be said about boating and maritime vessels. I'm not a boater (besides kayaking), but I have family who are and they take care of each other just like aviation.
Gotta give props to the Cub pilot there. Extremely friendly and helpful during the whole thing. Even asked about transportation when he found out he was going to Modesto too!
John Smith Just to add to your comment. Knowing which type of aircraft also allows your brain to not pay attention to irrelevant information. Just like when looking for someone in the crowd, you would focus only on looking for a certain type of hair/height etc.
I was getting very stressed when the cub and the Cessna were converging on the crash site. Goes to show you how being distracted with one emergency can possibly cause collateral damage. Glad everyone is ok. Good job to the pilot of the cub to recognize the danger and request a position of the Cessna.
Luckily they had 3000 feet of separation, of course they didn't know that cause they didn't ask about there altitudes until they were basically on top of each other.
Wow. E16 was my home airport where I got my private pilots license; I did many hours in N64048 (C172). I think I remember that Piper on the flight line as well. It's one thing to watch these videos in the abstract but when you recognize pilot and controller voices and waypoints on the radar it makes for a heart pounding experience. EDIT: Yeah, that Piper was a rental that was tied up just a couple places over from my trainer.
its crazy reading comments on videos like this and seeing people say they recognize voices and callsigns. is the flying community that small or do you just get around that much?
Not really related.... but... My “home base” is in Chico. Currently I ran into financial difficulties so I had paused my aviation school. But there are a couple of times when I hear a plane fly over and I see that it’s the plane that I train in. Pretty cool if u ask me
The way these strangers come together to make sure everyone is ok and their needs are looked after. Gives me a little hope for the future of our country.
As a glider pilot I have a pretty good idea how he felt in that cockpit, although I’ve made the field every time, I know some colleagues I went to flight school with who weren’t so lucky and landed in trees. It’s important that no matter how bleak it seems, you must always fly the airplane right up to the end and NEVER lose your cool.

That's a tough guy there. Crashed a plane against a truck on a crowded highway and then wants an Uber.
I bet that within 5 years Uber will extend to airplanes... "Attention Pilots! Want to earn some extra cash and put extra flying hours under your belt? Fly for Uber! (pending NTSB approval of course.)"
Watching the two observing planes fly directly towards each other without any observation of traffic was stressful AF, even though they were at different altitudes initially. Should ATC have given it without the pilot requesting it?
@@totalinlove08 even if accurate, given situation, would be worthwhile to mention... neither flying pilot is in a familiar situation. Owner pilot is freaking out inside.
Half the time the two aircraft were talking to different controllers (tower and NorCal) and in different classes of airspace. Note the airport/tower only controls up to 2,600 ft and the following Cessna was above that most of that time. Once near the airport the tower may/will call traffic advisories for aircraft in the same airspace, but since Modesto is class D airspace (think no or limited radar) the pilots flying in visual conditions still have responsibility for separation.
Woo that pilot is hella lucky to escape with minor injuries. And good job on him for recognizing where he can make it. He knew that he couldn't make it to the field, so the next best alternative would be the highway. In a case like that, worry about getting down safely in one piece first, and then deal with where that down actually is after the fact.
Holy cow I used to fly out of E16 and i know both the plane that crashed and the following pilot who actually owns it. Glad the pilot flying managed to get himself down
Realize this is an ancient video but it's new to me. Pilot made excellent decisions and I'm glad he landed alive. Kept his cool, communicated effectively and lived to fight another day.
wow what a terrific recording. I'm freaking out up here, -- its a piper (like how many other aircraft are crashing onto the freeway ) and then it's my plane and I know him. Love the two circling planes immediately wanted to circle to help find him. He texted me... love the calmness - hate hearing about smoke and flames.
I have to say I'm surprised this turned out ok for the pilot... I'm pretty familiar with CA-99, it's a major north/south route in this area and there's pretty much a steady flow of traffic moving at all times of the day. I have no idea how he didn't get hit by a car or a semi as he landed. No doubt he's a lucky man!
Checking an overhead map....the pilot could possibly have landed on Dryden Park Golf Course which was actually closer than the freeway. Par 5 holes are usually ~1,500' which should be enough distance to land a Dakota in an engine out glide. Glad the freeway worked out for him and he escaped without injury. For GA planes, golf courses are often an excellent place for a forced landing.
There was another one just up the road yesterday in Stockton. Two sheriff deputies on a training flight in the department's Cessna lost power just after takeoff and landed in a field nearby. Hit a fence and a trailer, no injuries.
Congrats to the pilot on escaping alive, and I'm so happy to hear the relief in his friend's voice as he realizes his friend is gonna be OK. The airplane and the stuff in it can be replaced, and in the long run is wholly irrelevant.
The camaraderie in this video was insane. Amazing job from everyone, really cool for the Cub to help, and really glad the pilot trusted his gut feeling!
letting breath out again - wow, that was lucky. That guy is a cool cucumber, well handled by all. Too bad about the hardware, but that's replaceable. Thanks for the quick upload.
First of all I'm so thrilled the pilot was okay second I'm glad that's the planes looking out for him we're not going to crash into each other and third really the air control was amazing and the video was amazing to overall really intense but I can I'm so glad that the pilots okay he didn't crash into a car and his friend could breathe
Dude im hella stoked i came across this. I was born and raised in modesto ca. I grew up looking at the blue lights as we passed the ceres/modsto airptThe fact that he landed on 99 by crows landing rd is insane. It is always busy but it is still cool. I moved to tn in 2004 but i am a norcal girl by heart.
Did he want everyone to know? Or was it to show he had valid concern to get involved in the situation. Or was it a feeling if guilt that his plane was endangering people
There was a GA pilot quite a few years ago that had engine failure over a forested area and crashed. Had friends with him with some injuries so pilot decided to walk out for help. A couple of hours later he was picked up by rescue chopper (looking for his aircraft) and he directed them back to the crash site. Unfortunately the chopper clipped trees on approach to the site and went down with him on board, but he walked away from that one as well! 2 crashes in one day and still upright!
Gliding does not mean the propeller stops. The propeller stops if: 1- Engine seized. 2- Propeller is feather. 3- The Airspeed is very low (generally about stall speed or less) Otherwise the drag will turn the propeller. Especially on a single engine, Variable Pitch propeller when the engine fails the system try to bring the propeller on the fine pitch so the air will turn the propeller and help to restart the engine. And when this happens the propeller is in windmilling
Single-engine piston-powered aircraft (with the exception of a few powered sailplanes) do not have propeller feathering capability. Feathering a prop means changing the pitch to the lowest drag position (leading edge straight ahead). Multi-engine aircraft all have feathering available to minimize the drag on the engine-out side (adverse yaw). This allows aircraft controllability. Engine failure in a piston engine aircraft usually results in a stopped propeller, regardless of what caused the failure (seizure or not).
Hello VASAviation. This past Saturday, Oct. 12, I was at the Atlanta Airshow where a Canadian Snowbird jet crashed ~7 miles west of the show at KHMP. The crash happened about 1:27 pm Eastern Time. The pilot ejected safely, and wanted to know if you could find any ATC audio that may have been involved. I jets were on their way to the show from KFFC. Thank you!
This makes me smile - not the crash, but how everybody got involved in a very nice way. The pilot stating the problem and then thinking out his mouth (what he was planning to do), the other plane just without questioning going in to help looking, the casual laid back talk (with a bit of, important, chit chat on the frequency), the willing to help each other out and just - everything! The only bit i really dislike is this "Declaring an emergency". We have two GREAT and CLEAR ways of doing this: PAN-PAN and MAYDAY. Please, use it! Engine running rough but seems to work out fine: "PAN-PAN" and then when it gets more serious just "MAYDAY". Wen used correctly, there is no confusion on how serious it is and everyone knows what to deal with. BTW: In Sweden, giving the guy a ride to the airport (if not in need for an ambulance ride) would be a no brainer - of course the police will do that. But, in this kind of impact (also with cars) we like to take people to hospital for a checkup. You never know what hides inside your body because all the adrenaline and everything makes you feel good even if you are having neck injuries or internal bleeding or something. Better safe than sorry.
@@VASAviation And PAN-PAN and MAYDAY is ICAO standard. ICAO recommends the use of that instead of "Declaring emergency" or other alternatives since the use of other phraseology has caused confusions and error handling in distress situations. So please USA, follow world standard procedures for once.
He did an awesome job and this video is your best yet! I also looked at a news video from KCRA in Sacramento. They of course had no clue as to all the circumstances and didn’t know what they were talking about
Thank God he survived with no major injuries. That plane was totaled and looked bad, making one think that fatalities occurred. His walking away is a relief.
Wonderful work on all sides (except possibly of the mechanic, if the fault turns out to have been something missed on inspection) however, I am concerned how much pressure/workload the controller puts on the N64048 pilot, who is clearly in extreme emotional-distress which is reducing his capacity to fly the plane (he was amazingly professional but he was definitely distracted by 'outside of cockpit events' knew it, & signaled to the tower that he was in a less then ideal frame of mind a number of times)... given that he was clearly less then comfortable with how his mental state was effecting his performance, should he have declared some form of a Pan Pan (what at sea is called a 'securite' or 'Potential-Mayday-Watch')... I see he tries to explain his state of mind indirectly, but the Controller (also under stress) fails to catch onto it....
9:48 “ok Modesto jet” then 3 words I cannot transcribe, then “and the thing is it takes an hour to get over there to the airport with all the emergency vehicles” then another two words I can’t hear

Talk about grace under pressure. His voice on the radio sounded only slightly more stressed than someone ordering a pizza. Great effort.

First of all I'm so thrilled the pilot was okay second I'm glad that's the planes looking out for him we're not going to crash into each other and third really the air control was amazing and the video was amazing to overall really intense but I can I'm so glad that the pilots okay he didn't crash into a car and his friend could breathe
Super calm pilot in a very stressful situation. Congrats and well done. Great job on the guy on comms as well
The teamwork between the pilots and ATC is very professional !
Wow, that was freaking close! So glad the pilot escaped all but unscathed! Nice job by the tower ATC and the two other planes.
Dude im hella stoked i came across this. I was born and raised in modesto ca. I grew up looking at the blue lights as we passed the ceres/modsto airptThe fact that he landed on 99 by crows landing rd is insane. It is always busy but it is still cool. I moved to tn in 2004 but i am a norcal girl by heart.
Handled superbly by all concerned
So, I didn't catch it, the N8353T was whose airplane ?
Thought same. that guy really wanted everyone to know 53T was his.
@@VASAviation eh, I thought it was to relay that he"s not some random curious person, but actually somebody involved..
@@VASAviation well also he may not realize he switched frequencies so maybe he didn't know he already said that on this and not norcal.
Give the dude a break. He’s freaking out up there. He even says that to ATC. The dude was stressed.
Did he want everyone to know? Or was it to show he had valid concern to get involved in the situation. Or was it a feeling if guilt that his plane was endangering people
In a plane crash... not long after gets in a similar plane to fly home...
Adapa owned by the same guy!
And how do you get home from a car crash? In a car 🚗!
@@Vontai21 did you not hear about the gyrocopter crash recently? Lol
There was a GA pilot quite a few years ago that had engine failure over a forested area and crashed. Had friends with him with some injuries so pilot decided to walk out for help. A couple of hours later he was picked up by rescue chopper (looking for his aircraft) and he directed them back to the crash site. Unfortunately the chopper clipped trees on approach to the site and went down with him on board, but he walked away from that one as well! 2 crashes in one day and still upright!
noid919 surely he requested a ground evac after that. Third time could be the charm!
PA-28... Cherokee.
The way the prop was bent... it was not turning, or was slowly windmilling when it hit the pavement.
Gliding does not mean the propeller stops.
The propeller stops if:
1- Engine seized.
2- Propeller is feather.
3- The Airspeed is very low (generally about stall speed or less)
Otherwise the drag will turn the propeller.
Especially on a single engine, Variable Pitch propeller when the engine fails the system try to bring the propeller on the fine pitch so the air will turn the propeller and help to restart the engine.
And when this happens the propeller is in windmilling
The Dakota is a PA-28-236.
Single-engine piston-powered aircraft (with the exception of a few powered sailplanes) do not have propeller feathering capability. Feathering a prop means changing the pitch to the lowest drag position (leading edge straight ahead). Multi-engine aircraft all have feathering available to minimize the drag on the engine-out side (adverse yaw). This allows aircraft controllability. Engine failure in a piston engine aircraft usually results in a stopped propeller, regardless of what caused the failure (seizure or not).
Gotta love that Cub pilot, he was so happy to help.
Hello VASAviation. This past Saturday, Oct. 12, I was at the Atlanta Airshow where a Canadian Snowbird jet crashed ~7 miles west of the show at KHMP. The crash happened about 1:27 pm Eastern Time. The pilot ejected safely, and wanted to know if you could find any ATC audio that may have been involved. I jets were on their way to the show from KFFC. Thank you!
i thought one of them died?
oh wait this is 7 months ago my bad
@@drcreeper08 Yeah sad to hear about the one that happened in the past few days, but I witnessed the one go down back in October, scary stuff.
They overflew my place in Edmonton the day before.
I was very saddened to hear of the crash in Kelowna.
He was extremely lucky he survived
The 2 aircraft following the highway in opposing directions made me a little nervous, despite the difference in altitude.
What a nice video, glad the pilot made it out ok. Thanks for the transcription Vas!
Thank you for watching!
Great job pilot! No one hurt, and the plane can be replaced.
This makes me smile - not the crash, but how everybody got involved in a very nice way. The pilot stating the problem and then thinking out his mouth (what he was planning to do), the other plane just without questioning going in to help looking, the casual laid back talk (with a bit of, important, chit chat on the frequency), the willing to help each other out and just - everything!
The only bit i really dislike is this "Declaring an emergency". We have two GREAT and CLEAR ways of doing this: PAN-PAN and MAYDAY. Please, use it!
Engine running rough but seems to work out fine: "PAN-PAN" and then when it gets more serious just "MAYDAY". Wen used correctly, there is no confusion on how serious it is and everyone knows what to deal with.
BTW: In Sweden, giving the guy a ride to the airport (if not in need for an ambulance ride) would be a no brainer - of course the police will do that. But, in this kind of impact (also with cars) we like to take people to hospital for a checkup. You never know what hides inside your body because all the adrenaline and everything makes you feel good even if you are having neck injuries or internal bleeding or something. Better safe than sorry.
"Declaring an emergency" is standard phraseo in USA
@@VASAviation And PAN-PAN and MAYDAY is ICAO standard. ICAO recommends the use of that instead of "Declaring emergency" or other alternatives since the use of other phraseology has caused confusions and error handling in distress situations.
So please USA, follow world standard procedures for once.
@@VASAviation Yes it is and has been for a very long time.

@@Xanthopteryx Why?
Maybe the ICAO needs to follow the USA rather than us following them.
Crazy to hear because I live in NorCal and I fly around here all the time. I recognized the controllers voice right away
As a fellow pilot I was very glad to hear this pilot walked away!
He did an awesome job and this video is your best yet! I also looked at a news video from KCRA in Sacramento. They of course had no clue as to all the circumstances and didn’t know what they were talking about
Had pure goosebumps listening to that
You can always get another airplane; Human life is more fragile.
Highway landings are very scary because you can touch down perfectly in a car roof. Kudos to the pilot
Praise God.Beautiful!
Interesting, was slightly worried that the two planes circling/looking for the downed aircraft were going to run into each other!
You can always replace possessions. As the saying goes. Any landing you can walk away from was a good landing.
Some irony to the picture at 7:14 ... is there ever a crash on a highway that doesn't involve a Swift truck?
All pilots should have glass cutters with them like we do in our cars
What an amazing community of professionals
Well done
Thank God he survived with no major injuries. That plane was totaled and looked bad, making one think that fatalities occurred. His walking away is a relief.
KMOD is my home airport. The whole city is surrounded by farm fields and 2 lane roads. HWY 99 was not the best choice. He’s very lucky.
Cool calm and accurate ATC.....👍
Wonderful work on all sides (except possibly of the mechanic, if the fault turns out to have been something missed on inspection)
however, I am concerned how much pressure/workload the controller puts on the N64048 pilot, who is clearly in extreme emotional-distress which is reducing his capacity to fly the plane (he was amazingly professional but he was definitely distracted by 'outside of cockpit events' knew it, & signaled to the tower that he was in a less then ideal frame of mind a number of times)...
given that he was clearly less then comfortable with how his mental state was effecting his performance, should he have declared some form of a Pan Pan (what at sea is called a 'securite' or 'Potential-Mayday-Watch')... I see he tries to explain his state of mind indirectly, but the Controller (also under stress) fails to catch onto it....
"WHY IS THERE SO MUCH TRAFFIC?!!"
"oh..."
I remember when this happened in my town, it made my family worry a bit as I am a student pilot
Well done!! Walked away..the rest are just things
USA air traffic 2.0 what a super cool support. Awesome
Wow. That was a very scary situation but the outcome was excellent.
9:48
“ok Modesto jet”
then 3 words I cannot transcribe, then
“and the thing is it takes an hour to get over there to the airport with all the emergency vehicles”
then another two words I can’t hear
So glad he is OK. :)
I’m so glad he’s ok
Delighted he survived. Honestly thought he died
Good communication between both circling aircraft to check altitude of the other person to prevent a second incident.
They had about 3k feet separation.
Really well done video.
I have 20 hours in 8353T. Crazy to think about!
Thank God he survived!
Yea landing on the 99 is very difficult since it's always busy. I am surprised that he actually landed. There usually isn't space between cars.
Upside down and still survived what a miracle
I live in Turlock just 15 miles south, this was a great job by all involved.
oof something close to home, literally in the same city to be exact. pretty crazy how he walked away from that crash.
Guardian angel was in the passenger seat with him....
Just a bit! Wow, a cut thumb? I've hurt myself more fixing motorcycles and cars for fun than he did throwing a Piper at Tarmac at speed! Amazing!
Oh my, I was so worried the two plane searching were going to collide!
