Sorry if I might sound a bit harsh... Just my 2cent...

This was NOT a "perfect" landing in one simple way: The Pilot did not fly a traffic pattern before landing, and made steep turns right above the ground! Surely he was lucky not to stall in that 45° turn, but he nearly had a fatal crash with that stonewall - just because from the beginning on he had no clue where to land, and constantly changed his mind right up to the end...

If I did a no-motor-practice-landing like this during my flight training, my flight instructor would have torn my head off!

Of course this is quite theoretical, and bearing in mind how stressfull such a situation can be (especially when there aren't such big flat fields like here in northern Germany ), the pilot did an excellent job! The wheel-up-decision was the best he could have made, and "every landing you can walk away from is a good landing", so: Well done!

Just wanted to relativise the "couldnt be better landing"-posts

Greetings, Fliegenpilz
