Haywire...?
I know what means. Just haven’t seen or heard used in a serious context in decades.

150 lands at like 35 mph if into a decent headwind.
You could crash the dang thing an walk away bruised.

What does “MSL” stand for? Some unit of altitude?

Very impressive landing.
I wonder how he is going to get his plane out of that field.

I’ve done that many times on flight simulator, I’ll bet it’s scary as hell in real life.

Looks like he ran out of fuel. Both gauges are on E.

The thing about single engine planes is the single engine.

My instructor used to chop power all the time.
To: DUMBGRUNT
Wow! Just watching and knowing he was going to be OK was riveting. His comment at the end was perfect!

Wrong wrong wrong, as an experience pilot myself the best thing to do when the engine cuts out is to flap your arms outside the windows.

I learned to fly in a 150 way back in the 1970’s. I can remember a drill where my instructor would shut off the engine at some safe altitude. He would make me pick out a landing area and start a glide down toward my spot. I don’t remember at what altitude we would turn the engine back on, but it was good training.

If he was a student pilot, why was he flying solo?

Excellent dead stick landing. The student is “Cool Hand Luke”
and a fine example.
His instructor deserves a pat on the back.My guess is that instructor is retired military.
