A young trainee pilot has earned himself a 'hero' title after he made an amazing emergency landing that saved three lives.
The young hero, Zachary Cox, aged 21, was in the plane along with two other trainee pilots in New South Wales, Coffs Harbor when the landing gear faulted.
A video revealed Mr. Cox keeping steady while skidding the nose of the plane across the runway.
In his 9 News interview he said,
"I was ready for what came at me."
He said he has put the incident past him and expected to get to be back to the skies this week.
"As pilots, there's always going to be problems. We train for it; it's not going to affect me." He said.
His instructor talked him through the landing by ensuring they could escape if the plane overturned.
