I mean, I've got to try and formulate a plan to get it down quick.
There's not much, you know, I managed to slip the aircraft down a fraction.
But I've got to be conscious of the speed approaching the active runway.
Otherwise, I'm setting myself up for certain sort of failure.
So what I was able to do was actually formulate a plan to glide away to my left.
And I just pulled the stick just a few degrees to my left and headed towards a stretch of grass.
And I ran towards that grass.
I stayed fixated and focused on the grass.
moving a few degrees left away from the concrete runway at the distance to my right.
I'm heading towards the grass because I knew the grass would afford me potentially a softer landing.
And what I was about to do was not actually land the aircraft in the conventional sense.
I then followed nothing but emergency drill or emergency protocol that I'd been taught.
So again, I steered the aircraft to the left slightly, heading towards the grass in the distance, turned the key to the ignition off, metal key, the red switches to magnetos, alpha and bravo off, off, master switch off, strobes off, lights off, fuel pump in the center column off, rotate fuel selector valve off,
through 90 degrees off everything off off off in sequence following the dashboard from left to right just as i'd been taught again and again and again it was a drill that i'd done many many times but dry with the instructors
I mean, I did feel kind of the heat most definitely, but I didn't really feel pain.
My lower limbs, I should have been feeling pain because my lower, my shin area got burned tremendously.
I mean, it was down to the bone.
