No, this time he really is a pilot, but he is not the cardiologist he said he was.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

There was a article in AOPA Flight Training about this.

CNN got live footage of a Twin engine prop landing without its gears down, The pilot turned his engines off so the propellers wouldn't be as damaged and anchor said that was a great idea, the guy barely made the runway he skidded to a halt on the numbers. Apparently turning off the thing keeping the airplane flying is great idea if you can save a few bucks on repairs Roll Eyes

nevermind the risk of falling short of the runway.

Well not everyone can get a Yak-52... where the gear doesnt retract 100% and the prop can function with 30 cm less blade length (there are 'cut here' marks on the blades)

Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones), Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here
