Nice flying. I would have played it a little longer down the runway to set down :-) Brings back a few memories.

How can a plane be suspended in the air for that long and not drop from the sky? Amazing.
As long as the wings are moving fast enough through the air they continue to provide the lift that keeps the plane in the air.

Not bad..the avionics would cost more than that.

Agree. There's more drag(quicker rate of descent) with a stopped prop than at engine idle which he is more used to. Got it done though.

That’s relatively easy. We just replaced an engine in a Cessna 421C (it’s a GTSIO 520) and it was over $70k all in.
For the little 172 just stuff a 400hp LS in.
Way cheaper than the original engine and burns less gas it appears.

Sound badass

So a 100 mile glide at the point of failure gives you a 200 mile radius, so there will always be plenty of options at that point. He did a great job, and just as he trained.

The engine looks like it just needs a little JB Weld
It’s all ball bearings now.
Nice job by the PIC. He even made the turn to the taxiway so he wouldn’t interrupt other operations. Dude needs a raise.
