Agreed, but for a student solo pilot.....nerve wracking.

Sure it was easy, but he was trained to be cool.

The best take away: “ I am going to set her down in a corn field” which he over shot by a few hundred yards into a pasture.

My instructor told me that a C-150 is so stable that if the engine quits at night and all you did was slow down to 60 KIAS, leveled the wings and did nothing else but shut your eyes and pray that you had a 90% chance of survival.
