    Video: Cessna 310 Nosegear-less Landing at Van Nuys

    He cut the engines on approach and cranked them so they would be horizontal so the propellers wouldn't hit the ground....not for safety reasons, but for money savings, as a clipped prop means that whole engine would need to be pulled out and swapped.



    Nice view though.

    Nice landing

    Doesn't look like all that cranking really helped though...
    Flying is not dangerous; crashing is dangerous.
