Master class in grace under pressure! So glad he found a clear spot to land. Lucky guy!

Thank you for your kind words. To clarify for everyone, when he talked about "summoning the equipment", it was THAT part that I felt was not need at least at that time. My engine was still run - yes with reduced RPM - and I truly believed I was going to get to the field, taxi to parking, and take a look what happened. THEN things got worse, and I re-confirmed - in case there was any doubt - that I had a true emergency on my hand. You people that are complaining with the proper terms to use don't realize there is a LOT of shit hitting the fan, and I had about 15 seconds to make a decision WHERE to land, while flying over a very populated suburb. No fields. When I made my decision to ditch, the airport was SO insight I could almost see the runway numbers. But the Foreflight Glide path circle was showing I would be about 2.5 miles short. So, I made the decision to find a road. Thankfully a LOT of things went in my favor. About 15 seconds prior to getting near my landing location, the traffic light turned RED, giving me exactly what I needed - a HUGE break in the traffic flow. Making the decision to NOT try for the airport probably saved my life. You hear of far to many fatal crashes of planes "almost" getting there because visually, you think you can. But you are falling from the sky pretty damn fast while trying to communicate, navigate, and aviate.

Again, people who aren't pilots don't realize just how quickly things can turn on a dime. We can learn a lot from your actions. By providing detailed status, it tells me that you were also mentally going down the emergency checklist - doing all the things you were taught, but also reassuring yourself that you had the ability to see this through. On a humorous note, I love the final answer regarding the name of the highway: the intersection of two main streets! BTW, did you have any drivers or pedestrians come to you afterward?

This pilot declared an emergency when he first contacted ATC... but ATC "talked him out of it" by asking THREE TIMES "are you declaring an emergency?" I was really annoyed hearing the ATC asking again and again, when the pilot had already clearly stated the nature of the emergency on first contact.

No, that was MY hesitation. Listen to ATC and what I said. I was declining the "911" aspect, as I really didn't think I needed firetrucks, ambul, etc.

At first report of smelling oil he should have declared PAN-PAN. I understand not wanting a full blown emergency at that point. When the engine died upgrading to Mayday or Declare Emergency. Stating that this is his first emergency doesn't cut it. He should know how to and when to declare, by earning his pilots license. However nothing said here by declaring a emergency would have help him make the airport. In the end he aviated and landed safely and had enough time to find less traveled road to do so. Overall a great job in getting himself home safely.

Unfortunately, I don't recall ANY lessons on the different kinds of statements for BIG emergencies, MIDDLE emergencies, or SMALL emergencies. He cleared all traffic out of the north where I was, and talked to me. Thats all I needed.

@@mycablemart PAN-PAN I need priority, I have a situation that needs me to land ASAP without expected further deuteration of situation. Mayday I need priority with aircraft emergency. If you don't understand these, you need to talk to a CFI.

Heck of a job. Calm and collected awesome.

Looks like a nice opportunity for someone to say "Hey! You can't park there!"

As often as not, tower will declare an emergency anyway. Especially if you call zero oil pressure. Unless the pilot has made a mistake, there is no paperwork involved beyond MAYBE a phone call. Declaring an honest emergency allows you to break virtually any FAR reg there is without getting in trouble. It also allows a controller to work your problem exclusively. Declare!

Good situational awareness, calm and cool, he earned every bit of that good luck.

Absolutely amazing

Tremendous job. The cool and the discipline was impressive, great pilot.

Excellent job. 👍

Very well done!

My mom lives over by the Blaine airport. I have driven on the stretch of road the pilot landed on so many times. Thank goodness he was able to make it down and land safely.

Very good job sir!!

Great Job Captain!

Great job by the pilot! I cant imagine what must go through your head when everything starts to go wrong

That is a very stressful situation! Brain turns to mush. Pilot obviously was following his training and also kept a cool head. Well done by both Pilot & controller.

Thank you

Fantastic job!!!

Now that's what I call super well done.

Great job by everyone - glad the pilot is okay.

What a perfect landing! It looks like he had to call the tow truck company. Great job!

"I just have to pull over here...", don't hear that on ATC every day!

Outstanding job pilot, and ATC! Any landing you can walk away from!

Great outcome!
