Hi, I'm Courtney.
Today, Im going to demonstrate an "engine out" landing.
It'll be a forward slip to a landing, starting at 4,000 feet above ground level.
I'll reduce power to a near idle and glide to the mid-point of the runway below us.
I'll be using a forward slip to help descend quickly.
We will descent 4,000 feet and land in 2 and a half minutes.
It'll be a bit of a challenge. It's windy, a bit of turbulence and there's a 13-MPH crosswind.
We're a 4,000 feet above ground level.
Reducing throttle to idle.
Commencing forward slip.
Fully defected right aileron, partial left rudder.
Holding airspeed to 55 miles per hour.
The aircraft's never exceed speed is 75 miles per hour.
I'm flying a Quicksilver MXL with double surface wings and ailerons.
You cannot slip without ailerons.
We're directly above the airport.
Using the rudder to turn.
Always be watching for traffic.
Still at idle and still in a forward slip.
We're descending at 1800 feet per minute.
The wind has blown us away from the runway threshold.
My miscalculations has made us too close and too high.
Normally, this is where you call a go-around.
Our airspeed has increased, too.
I've done this maneuver often enough in windy conditions to know it is still a go for a landing.
Exiting forward slip. Engine still at idle, airplane still in a glide.
Raised to nose slightly to bleed off airspeed.
Thirteen miles per hour crosswind.
Look at the windsock on the upper left.
Looking good.
Slowing down.
Approaching stall speed.
Boom, we're down.
Touched down a bit further than planned.
Fun? Yes, practicing emergency landings are always fun!
I really appreciate your watching my videos.
I'll see you in the skies!
Bye!

Just as well your practiced in emergency landings because there wasn't much runway left after touchdown, well done, the voice over is a nice touch.👍
thank you.
Nicely done Courtney! This is from a guy that has been flying ultralights for the last 30 years and was an instructor! Love your videos and dedication to flying!
Thank you very kindly.
Thank you, thank you thank you so much for the voice added for the text!!!!!! That makes my time watching so much more enjoyable not to have the Closed caption turned on. I felt as though I was missing much of the video that way. Thank you very much for listening to my concerns. You made me so happy! You are SUPER!!!! I enjoyed it so much I watched it twice. Love your work! Keep them coming!
You're welcome and thanks for the kind words.
Nice!!! I wasn’t sure if you were going to make it! It shows you know your aircraft and your skill level!! Great job!! I liked the voice over too!!
Thank you!
Me recuerda mis primeros vuelos, el profesor , luego de varias clases, cortó el motor sin que me diera cuenta y me dijo: se nos plantó el motor. Te animas de aterrizar? La adrenalina corrió por mi cuerpo. Magnifica experiencia. Fue el año 92 en palafrugel.
Cool!
Learning the slip maneuver should be required as it is so useful in different situations and I usually prefer it to using flaps. You really have to know the characteristics of your particular aircraft and practice makes perfect. I've only used once during an emergency landing situation after losing my alternator (no electric flaps) and made a very nice landing. More than once I've approached a runway using a slip and popped out of it when I decided to perform a go-around.
Agree!
Impressive letdown !! The single seat 2 axis MX ultralight doesn't have ailerons but if you push up both 5 foot long spoilers and full forward stick you can come down almost as quickly without exceeding 45mph. Also a big letdown at about 2000'/min in a 40 degree nose down.
12mph cross wind is a real challenge for any MX type but beyond the limits for the 2 axis MX. The ground effect stall speed with my MX is 14 to 16mph. Would require precision landing across the runway into the wind with a 20 to 30' rollout.
thank you!
Once again, great video. I'm digging the vox too👍
Thank you.
If you ever get out to AZ, I'll pay for a rental if you take me up!!!
I thought it was i bit short of runway, but your plane has good brakes. Is that voice over AI generated? Good idea!😊🇫🇷
Yes, AI. I could have also landed on the turf just ahead, if needed.
Very nice
Thank you.
