In this "Never Again" episode, a 21-year-old instrument rated multi-engine commercial pilot shares his harrowing experience of a sudden engine failure during a spring break trip from Kansas to Florida in a Cessna 182. Just three miles from his destination, the engine catastrophically failed, forcing him to execute an emergency landing at Panama City Airport (ECP).
