I really like this, it looks like the plane was landed without damage. He didn’t even hit the curb going over that road. Excellent!

I believe that qualifies, at the very least, as a good landing. If the plane is serviceable an upgrade would be in order.

That was a great landing. Note the stopped prop and the smear of oil on the left side, indicating catastrophic engine failure and not excess air in the tanks.

It’s not easy to stop a windmilling prop in a 172, after you cut the fuel to the engine. Done it twice.
