Made Dead Stick Landing On City Street In Texas
Second Lieutenant Sarah Rovner, a
member of the Thunderbird Composite Squadron in Houston, was flying
the CAP-owned Cessna 172 from West Houston Airport to Lone Star
Executive Airport when she reported losing aircraft power. When she
realized she would not be able to glide the final six miles to the
airport, she made a dead-stick landing on Davis Street in downtown
Conroe with guidance from a controller, who also called emergency
responders.
