A Mooney is an air-o-plane. Maybe there’s a boat too? Doc's plane engine quit in flight. He put it down safely, but made a hole-in-one into a prairie dog hole with the nose wheel just as he was coming to a controlled stop. Bent the front gear. No drama, just takin' care of business, as usual for Doc. I've flown with Doc and he's one of the safest pilots I've ever been around and that's more than just a few. Ed So he likely had a prop strike too?

Can we talk about crashing the Mooney?
Second time I’ve seen this. What I miss? I believe he's referring to Roger's buddy taking his expensive boat to a rock concert, so to speak. A Mooney is an air-o-plane. Maybe there’s a boat too? oh woops. lol

His one and only engine quit in flight? Sounds pretty dramatic to me.

No pain suggests sensory nerve damage, separate from hearing loss nerve damage. Or or a blood leaking carcinoma involving intracranial sinuses and ear canal or eustachian tube? Or fungal infection?

And told you to get back in if it didnt resolve. Its only a few mm from some sinuses to the skull cavity and meninges.

Any news on the cause of the engine failure? lost oil pressure due to a line that had been replaced failing or coming loose, if I remember right.

That might be the reason for a discussion with the maintenance folks then. A dead-stick landing is an interesting dilemma. The little Piper I flew had a glide ratio of 7:1, meaning it would glide 7 miles while dropping 1. Theoretically, if you had a landing strip within 7 miles you were ok if you also had more than 5k feet altitude.
However, I was taught to visually pick out a landing spot below somewhere below while spiraling down to lose altitude. In Iowa and much of the Midwest, where you have a checkerboard of 1 mile squares with crisscrossing gravel roads or so, there’s no lack of landing spots, the biggest issue being high lines crossing over gravel intersections. And throwing up gravel damaging the plane.
Sounds like doc roc did well under duress which of course he’s done for a long time. There also truth to the old saying that flying is a lot like anesthesia in that induction — going to sleep — and emergence — waking up are analogous to taking off or rotation and landing respectively. Because, that’s often when critical incidents tend to occur without a lot of time to work them out.
Correlating with sphincter tightening or loosening as the case may be…😉
Sorry to detract from Roger’s problem. Frankly, Roger, I’d be pretty motivated to get in and get some studies done to find out what’s going on. Hope the antibiotic works pronto.
