Midflight Engine Failure
So I just finished a flight on X-Plane 11 practising stalls / general flying skill like maintaining constant bank angle by reference to the horizon. I flew out of KFAR (Fargo Hector International) and was flying back towards the airport on long final for runway 13. All of a sudden, my engine quits. Now this is pretty funny because just before this I was brushing up a bit on emergency procedures and the specific checklists listed in the Cessna 172 POH, and I was wondering if I would ever actually really practice them.
