Anyone know about this incident? I heard they took off with at least one fun jumper and a Tandem and at 400' the cap "blew". The pilot was able to do a 180 and land downwind. It was a 182 if I remember correct. I would imagine there would be a report for an emergency landing, but I could be wrong about that. Maybe Pilot Dave will help out. Two things bother me about this. Do oil caps really "blow" off or are they left off??? getting away with doing a 180 low, slow and loaded seems pretty amazing to me, assuming they were at 400'. Not a pilot but do have some experience flying so I could be wrong again. Great job getting it down safely, weather the pilot put them there or not everyone was ok. I do know this, not a plane I want to be on anytime soon. Thats all I can say about that.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
