No, that's the right way to do it. At least, that's what it says in the Orlove Flight School Plane landing Handbook.

Looks about right to me.

Any landing you can walk away from?

I'm confused. From the article, it sounds like he went inverted and "landed" inverted. The condition of the gear makes me think he hit hard and then flipped. The latter seems much more likely, and much more survivable.

It's sort of like what bikers say to each other "Keep the shiny side up"

That guy must have got another plane since then.

Very poorly written on par with typical aviation media coverage.

As he tried to divert to Oceanside, the plane flipped upside down, ultimately landing in a field just east of the runway and Foussat Drive.

Should read.

Also,

Police said there was no fluid spill or fire as a result of the emergency landing.

Usually means they ran out of go juice.

This makes me sad, that's a gorgeous biplane.
