Amateur pilot and pianist Narine Melkumjan recorded a frightening moment when the canopy on her Extra 330LX opened mid-flight causing her to make an emergency landing. 

Melkumjan made a safe landing under immense pressure and has been praised online for her quick thinking and ability to rely on her training during an emergency. 

For the people saying the video was staged, I listened to her music, and while I don't think this is a ploy to launch her classical piano career, you can never be too skeptical when it comes to plane influencers.
