Florida Pilot Statement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When his engine started to fail, Cape Coral pilot Vincent Fraser was forced to land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every pilot practices for the worst-case scenario in the hopes that they never need to use it. Fraser handled the situation like a hero when faced with a malfunctioning engine and no nearby airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m sorry, but we need to make an emergency landing someplace on these mountains, I remarked as I apologized to my father-in-law, asking him to guide me in choosing the ideal landing spot, said Fraser.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fraser searched for a secure location to set down his single-engine 1967 Aero Commander 100 while his father-in-law sat in the seat next to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They came across US Route 19, which was generally level and straight but was frequently congested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fraser realized he needed to make a call since his engine had broken down and wouldn’t restart. He gave his wife’s father a kind glance and then began to land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was the last time I was going to speak to him, in my opinion, Fraser stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fraser is an Allegiant flight attendant with around a year of solo flight experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Detailed Report<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

He was a Marine before switching to civilian life, and once a Marine, a Marine is always a Marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I reverted somewhat to the mindset I had while serving in the Marine Corps. In order to preserve our lives and the lives of the people on the ground with the least amount of damage, I just had to save Jeff,”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>said Fraser<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Fraser claimed he is still struggling to get over the emotion over a week later. “I almost had an out-of-body experience where I wasn’t sitting in the seat, I was above the aircraft, and I could see everything,”<\/em><\/strong> the person who experienced the incident said. That ability to focus on multiple things is probably what kept me alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following completion of the required modifications, the jet was able to take off utilizing runway US-19 in North Carolina on Wednesday.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fraser stated that he will take a brief hiatus from flying, but it won’t be for long.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
