Regardless, the aircraft entered a dangerous descent at 8,000 feet per minute. The Cessna 172S crashed into the ground, destroying the cockpit. However, the cables from the cockpit controls to the flight surfaces were still attached and all of the damage seems to have happened on impact.

The horizon came back into view, I stopped the descent, added power, and began to climb. My head movements in the cockpit trying to figure things out were counterproductive and actually were a significant contributing factor to the magnitude of my disorientation.

Fifteen hundred feet past the end of the runway, a pilot was trapped in the cockpit of an Extra NG. Forty-five minutes after the accident, the pilot was found alive, still pinned upside down in the flooded cockpit. Data shows a constant high-speed descent straight toward the runway. Rescue crews extracted her from the plane.

I don’t know how many long nights in the cockpits of various slow-piston and faster-turbine aircraft.

As the jet is slowed, the instructor pilot asks the entire flight crew to note the unnatural quiet in the cockpit, the sluggish control and power response, and the buffeting. If the engine does not restart, maintaining the descent and a margin above the critical angle of attack is a better bet than stalling.

For the unmanned test, the pilot controlled the aircraft from a remote cockpit with a curved screen offering a panoramic view of the instruments. A vertical descent rate of 19.5 feet per second is twice the maximum descent speed and it collapsed under the impact. A second pilot maintained visual contact with the aircraft.

The pilots will don oxygen masks and take the plane to a lower altitude in what we call, plainly enough, an “emergency descent.” It’s hard to know, but I imagine the cockpit crew was quite busy.
