Since today apparently lol.

He should've press the brake to slow down the airplane. That would slow the airplane down enough to come to a full stop mid air thus preventing the crash.

Seriously.

If you pushed the brake pedal or something in mid-air, what part of the airplane would respond and how? just curious.

it is a pity it didn't run out of gas just before impact

This guy gets it. He could have also pulled the emergency brake to come to a stop. As seen in the other biplane video, he simply had to get out of the cockpit, and walk on the wing to the engine. Fix what is wrong, release the brake, and keep flying or land, the sky is the limit.

Clearly I was joking. Somebody asked since when did we have so many pilots on this forum after everybody gave their opinion on what happen and how he should've resolved it. It's easy to say he should've done this or that when you're sitting in front of a computer but now when milliseconds count on your way to the ground.

Hence, air brakes

The engine lost some power by the sound of it - possibly carb icing - and he didn't have a plan, with a single engine plane always plan on an engine failure on takeoff and that way you are prepared - there is no time to spare.

He should have just kept the nose down and applied elevator trim. Guess he was just too busy filming to actually fly the plane

[Azimuth]

omg. Did he die? probably, right?

Seriously.
