During his Private Pilot checkride over the weekend, Brian Garrett of Westminster, Colorado, had to deal with a real in-flight emergency on top of all the other required practical test maneuvers after one of the blades on his Sting Sport LSA separated midflight.
According to the Longmont Times-Call, at some point during the flight exam the Sting Sport TL-2000’s engine started running rough, forcing Garrett to set up for a landing in a farm field near the town of Mead.
