Cool as ice – pilot lands Cessna on the beach

When the engi­ne on his small pla­ne sud­den­ly quit about 800 feet abo­ve the San Die­go coast­li­ne, pilot Vic­tor Schnei­der star­ted loo­king for a safe place to land. He and his daugh­ter had taken off from the Oce­an­si­de air­port about 15 minu­tes ear­lier. Schnei­der, a com­mer­cial air­line pilot who has owned the Cess­na for more than 23 years, found a spot on the sand in Mis­si­on Beach near the water­line. Short­ly befo­re noon, he gli­ded to a stop. He and his daugh­ter ope­ned the doors and clim­bed out of the pla­ne after the emer­gen­cy landing. No one on the ground was inju­red, eit­her.
