1. Watch the video and explain to your teacher/peer what you understand.
2. Now listen to the speakers and tick (√) the phrases you hear.
( ) This is slightly familiar to him
( ) He might have done a simulator run
( ) He might have done a low pass
( ) See as he goes down
( ) The engine stops, very nice move
( ) right down the yellow line
( ) Those props stalled
( ) If they had been spinning it would have spun those PT -6 engines
( ) he has had some help there
( ) They had to take off quickly
( ) There are more people… here they come
3.Listen again and fill in with the missing words
Speaker 1: The pilot is doing something that is slightly unfamiliar to him, because he is used to coming down at this altitude at this speed (1) _________ the runway with that gear hanging out there slowing him down; so he’s, he’s doing something that he is not …uuhh you know, he might have done a simulator run on this every now and then again or he might have done a low pass like this; and let’s watch. See as he comes down.
Now watch as he (2) ______________ those props all right, the engine stops, very smart move. Okay, now hold it, hold it; hold it again as slow as you can, slow it down, slow it down nice and slow, right down the centerline. This is picture perfect, picture perfect!”
Female: “Wow, that is beautiful”
Speaker 1: “Beautiful, beautiful job”
Female: “Remarkable”.
Speaker 1: “Beautiful job!”
Female: “Wow, that’s incredible piloting”
Speaker 1: “That’s some hull (3) ______________. I bet those engines are not adversely impacted uuh because the props were… did you noticed how he feathered those props? Those props stopped”.
Female: Woohow!
Speaker 1: “If they had been spinning… it would have spun those PT-6 engines which are(4) ____________ engines right off their mounts and that would have been a big problem
Female: “Pheew. I’m tailing for them, I mean my heart was just pitter patter, as I know everybody else’s was too”.
Speaker 1: “I’ve got to tell you, that should go on the (5)_______________ tapes. And off he goes. Okay, one two, so he’s had some help there, and that‘s all they had on board. Two of them and uh welcome to Fulton County airport, gentlemen”
Female: “Either that or everybody else on board is just catching their breath.”
Speaker 1: “Oh I suspect their instructions would ere to(6)_____________quickly, they had to get off quickly, time to get off the airplane”.
Speaker 2: “Oh No. Here comes somebody else”
Speaker 1: “There are more people, here they come. I’m gonna’ guess that …. that there, with the (7) ______________, there’s your hero."
Female: "really ready to get away from this plane eh?"
Speaker 1: "See if you can zoom in on that WSB, give us a close up, yeah they’re (8)_________________ his hand uhh, attaboy”.
Female: “And on the cell phone already. We’re safe, we made it”

Activities
Part One
a.What is the difference in meaning between:
He is used to coming down and He used to come down? Give more examples.
b.In the sentence ‘He might have had a simulator run” – Is the narrator sure about the pilot training in a simulator or he is saying that it is possible that the pilot did it?
c.Paraphrase the expression: “every now and then”.
d.What is another way to say “… my heart was pitter patter”?
e.“I am tailing for them” means :
I am talking about them
I am following and watching them
I am rooting (cheering) for them
f.What does “feather the engine” mean?
Part Two : Put the parts of the report in the correct order.
Even though the Captain saved two propellers and two engines, he received a punishment or taking too many risks, considering he had landed with both engines feathered.
This flight arrived at it's destination which was a US Naval Base with very long runways. As soon as they entered the landing pattern, they noticed that the landing gear would not come down.
While he was on a long final, he feathered engine number one, and with the starter he placed the propeller with one of the three blades in the vertical position, knowing that when he landed, the other two blades would not touch the ground.
They landed with the normal damage to the belly of the plane, and after a crane was brought, the plane was lifted, the landing gear was extended, the gear pins were put in place , The engines were started and the DC3 taxied gallantly to the Hangar.
They tried all the emergency systems, but the gear remained retracted. The weather couldn't be better and no wind, the Captain decided he would burn the maximum amount of fuel off and then proceed to land on the belly.
When he was absolutely sure that he could reach the runway in a shallow glide, he feathered engine number two and did the same procedure with the propeller
ANSWERS :
Activity Part One
He is used to coming = He is accustomed to coming.
He used to come = He did it in the past as a habit or repetitive action
He might have had a simulator run = The narrator is talking about a possibility
Every now and then = Sometimes
My heart was pitter patter = it was beating fast
I am tailing for them = My heart goes out to them ( I am cheering for them)
Feather the engine = Turn the propeller blades of an inoperative engine into the relative wind to reduce the drag as much as possible.
