EMERGENCY landing
I ran out of gas! How embarassing. Did I have to eject? Watch and see.

Had an in-flight emergency when the airspeed/mach indicators went u/s! Landed successfully. On reviewing the cockpit cam I saw that the airspeed HAD come back online during final approach, but I was so fixated on the picture, relating it to past landings in order to guess the speed, that I hadn't even noticed!

Aviate, Navigate, then Communicate. Prioritise then solve the problem.

I usually fly with the aircraft set at 100% reliability, but nonetheless encounter the occasional simulated emergency. Learnable situations and fun!
