To deploy. hut has one other thing going for him. >> the fuel state was low so the aircraft was light. i had that advantage. >> with altitude gained, hut tries restarting the engine. no luck. and now they have another problem. they've lost too much speed. >> because i was too aggressive with that initial climb, i was basically trying to keep the airplane flying. if they fly too slow, they stall. >> a stalled plane has no lift and falls out of the control. to prevent that, hut drops his right wing, trading altitude for air speed. the jet computer warns that their jet is not geared for landing. ...

With more altitude, their parachutes will have more time to deploy. hutt has one other thing going for him. >> at the end of the mission, the fuel state was low, so the aircraft was light. i had that advantage. >> with altitude gains, hutt tries restarting the engine. >> restart. >> no luck. and now they have another problem. they've lost too much speed. >> because i was too aggressive with that initial climb, my air speed bled quickly and i was basically trying to keep the airplane flying. if the airplanes fly too slow, they stall. >> a stalled plane had no lift and falls out of control. to p...

Trace: it's a great point because a few years ago we saw a plane that came in, and the right landing gear was folded up and the plane had to land on that wing. it's very very tricky, and it's these types of things that you never get to do in a simulator -- leah: right. trace: -- because that's just not what you do. leah: right. and even in a simulator you can use these types of is scenarios, but you're not going to get the same feel, and the problem is you really a lot of times what the airplane feels like when you're coming in for a landing can contribute to the problem itself. you know, in t...

>> it was the end of the mission. the fuel state was low so the aircraft was light. i had that advantage. >> with altitude gained, hut tries restarting the engine. no luck. and now they have another problem. they've lost too much speed. >> because i was too aggressive with that initial climb, i was basically trying to keep the airplane flying. if the airplanes fly too slow they stall. >> a stalled plane has no lift and falls out of control. to prevent that, hut drops his right wing, trading altitude for air speed. the jet computer warns that their gear is not down for landing. with the ground ...

Gone. >> with no thrust from his only engine, hut has only one option. >> when that bird went in the engine, i knew i had to eject and i was just not looking forward to doing it. the ejection system is designed to get your body away from the crash site. you're not expected to get out of the situation unscathed. it's a very violent thing. i know pretty well every situation where two people have injected out of the same plane. at least one of them is hurt, if not fatally. >> hut takes advantage of the speed he has to tilt nose up and gain altitude. that could increase their chances for survival....
