Cessna 172 Emergency Landing at Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades

Not only an intact landing, he saves the green and puts it down on the fairway! Maybe he was just running late and didn’t want to miss his tee time!

When this happens, does the owner of the plane have to make good any damage that occurs? Do they have insurance for this?
I assume if they emergency land in a crop field for example they have to reimburse the farmer?

Always carry a divot tool.
hopknockious@reddit
This is the way
GeneralBS@reddit
That's probably why he landed, his tool was to large.

I even have to have liability insurance as an rc pilot. Yes, they're insured.
aequitssaint@reddit
I would imagine their insurance covers it

Cessna 172 is a toy plane.

“Short final runway fore”
StandardDeluxe3000@reddit
that went really well.
but they should flatten theyr runway more.
According_Dare7316@reddit
I bet from the air it looked a lot flatter than this.
BigGrayBeast@reddit
And he'd done better if he made that fan thing at the front, go round and round.

A true gentleman is never late for his tee time.

When your alternate airport is a golf course.
Negative_Horror_546@reddit
The real question is are they gonna play through?
dustycanuck@reddit
Nice shot, but they still landed in a bunker. The next shot is going to be a tough one to make.

Bro had a 300 yard fairway to land on but instead went for the green surrounded by bunkers? 0/10... lol jk

Gets out of plane, "gentlemen, would you mind if I played through?"

How does one move the aircraft to a runway after an incident like this
4130Adventures@reddit
Crane and flatbed.
sarahlizzy@reddit
Or find a flatter bit of golf course and take off on it?
Took off on grass in a 152 loads when I did my PPL. Ok, that was actually an airfield but … it’s not like they were using special grass.
Something something ATC something. Be alright.
4130Adventures@reddit
I don't know if the golf course would want the aircraft tearing up more of their grass...
LUNATIC_LEMMING@reddit
Cranes might tear it up more.
sarahlizzy@reddit
But the crane and flatbed are just peachy?

Only good use for a golf course
Responsible_Ad7198@reddit
Holy snikeys. Hilarious.
skydiveguy@reddit
It would have been easier if they didnt put a golf course where an airport should be.
Elgato_9lives@reddit
Was that a rough landing or landed in the rough?

What’s the rule on a 172? Moveable obstruction? What if I’m really strong and/or have an A&P?
PsychologicalCat7471@reddit
"Hey! Mind if I play through???"
