    something isn't right, there.

    FAA N number search here says N28510 is a SEL piper.

    As far as the piloting goes, the pilot was cool under pressure for sure. He did everything right, which a lot of pilots don't do. Killing the engines on final saves a lot of repair bills and even at that, he didn't stall it and auger in, which a lot of green horns do in that situation. I have lost friends just because they lost their cool.

      I think you have the tail number wrong. Is an Embraer EMB-135LR more like it?
      28518

      Not a pilot but agree with you about lost friends....

        eh, no. EMB-135LR

        The aircraft in the video is a Cessna 310. It has to be a 310, 310B or 310C, due to the older "square" tail design.

        NTSB doesn't show any incidents for Van Nuys during the month of November either. Would be interesting to see what caused the nose gear to not latch.

          LOL! Nope, that's not a Cessna! It looks more like something starving corporate executives would fly to the welfare office; pick up the food stamps and bailout checks. Maybe the tail numbers were switched to avoid getting booted and towed for unpaid runway fees? Okay, I've been watching too much "Parking Wars."

          That is a good landing, I have no idea why the gear didn't lock. Maybe I'll drive over to Van Nuys airport before dinner and see if they have a plane with a scuffed nose and bent gear for sale - cheap!


          Well, the turkey's ready to take out of the oven and cool for this afternoon.

          Happy Thanksgiving!

            Looks like one to me.

            We'll have a verdict back soon. I sent my dad an e-mail, and he has more than a thousand hours in a 310, and over 10,000 in light aircraft total.

              Sorry, it was early but I was agreeing with you! It's that old indefinite anticedent problem.

              It (The EMB jet) is definitely not a Cessna!

              The plane that landed at Van Nuys airport does not look like a Piper or EMB-135LR, it looks like a Cessna.

              At least I didn't burn myself getting the turkey out of the oven this morning!


              Happy Thanksgiving!

                My communication skills are terrible. I always get things mixed up like this. hehe.

                We are still waiting on the turkey. Smallest one we could find was 22 lbs. Almost 8 hours to cook.
