"If you lose engine power at <1200 AGL, land straight ahead!!!"

We train for an eventuality that hopefully never arrives.

How many of us would be so disciplined to follow our training and not our instincts?

Most of us will finish our flying careers without ever knowing into which camp we fall.

Train to land straight ahead! Hope I never have to test it.
Ferried too many wrecks back to the shop. Only one ever really scared me.
Slide a belly job in on concrete, easier to fix than on grass.

Well, at least he should have remembered that BOTH pilots shall turn right when faced with a potential head on collision situation.
