Don't let it bring you down though man.
Sometimes when bad things happen in the airplane, I try to subconsciously extend the time during the event in order to react properly. Almost like that weird "matrix" time bending thing.
Reminds me of when we were out doing Vmc demos is a Seneca and I guess we stalled the aircraft and hit Vmc simultaneously.
Usually I hold a foot on one of the rudder pedals to simulate reaching Vmc a little early so we don't get into a bad predicament, but this day I was pretty complacent and thinking about visiting the burrito shack just north of Reid-Hillview.
Anyway, we hit Vmc and stall simultaneously and the plane pretty much rolls inverted.
"Mr. Kim... Recover"
...no response...
"Mr. Kim...MY CONTROLS"
...no response...
But then the plane starts to roll and yaw indicative of a spin. This is not good because even my grandma knows that spinning a twin is a death wish.
So I take the yoke with my right hand and physically slap him on the hand while saying "Mr. Park, tell Mr. Kim in Korean 'HANDS OFF, DOUG'S CONTROLS!'.
It felt like about 20 minutes, but it all happened pretty quick.
BTW, the 330Ci has got to be one of the hottest coupes on earth. My buddy purchased an M-5 man, what a beaut'! He's one of those dot.com zillionaires so it was pocket change.
