* At the climax of Amy's route in ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'', the bird she's been protecting all game is suddenly swatted out of the sky by ZERO. After defeating ZERO, Amy rushes over to check on the bird. It seems to be okay, and flies off, only to suddenly dip out of sight. A few seconds later, it soars back into view -- with its family in tow.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheRescuers'': Orville is introduced flying in towards the runway of Albatross Air, built on top of a building. As Bernard watches, he sees the albatross dip below the ledge, and frantically yells "Pull up, pull up!" at the radio. Orville then reappears and skids into the runway on his face, which doesn't reassure the acrophobic Bernard one bit.

A faltering airplane dives out of view with the implication that it crashed. NoOneCouldSurviveThat, right? But no, after a few [[DramaticPause dramatic seconds]] the aircraft re-emerges triumphantly. YouHadUsWorriedThere, hero.
Usually accomplished by an AcePilot. Compare SuicidalGotcha where the re-surfacing was all planned from the beginning. Can overlap with BellyScrapingFlight where the character cuts the clearance so close that they're pulling twigs out of their hair or lose some paint on the peak of the mountain.

!!Examples:
[[AC:Films -- Animated]]
* In ''WesternAnimation/MadagascarEscape2Africa'', a plane is launched off a slingshot and into the forest. The plane tumbles below the tree canopy, and a bunch of nervous onlookers edges closer to get a better view. Then the plane reappears, having recovered from the tumble and is now flying perfectly.
* The climax of ''WesternAnimation/TheRescuersDownUnder'' provides a heroic catch from an InevitableWaterfall. Marahute, a giant eagle, dives after a falling Cody, and both disappear into the mist before soaring out together. Watch the scene [[https://youtu.be/ffmGNdSYTbI?t=188 here]].

* During the climax of ''Film/TheFlightOfThePhoenix2004'', the plane falls off a cliff, out of view, and then it flies back up, having achieved enough speed for lift. Roll credits.
* ''Franchise/StarTrek'':
** ''Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness'': The failing ''USS Enterprise'' drops out of the sky like a stone into thick clouds despite regaining engine control mid-fall, but then re-emerges from the clouds safely in control. Watch the scene [[https://youtu.be/yESWsgJ__dY?t=177 here]].
** ''Film/StarTrekBeyond'' does the same thing with the ''Franklin''. Because it wasn't designed with atmospheric flight in mind, the ship can't take off from its cliffside perch, and has to fall down said cliff to pick up enough speed for the thrusters to provide lift. Right as it reaches the bottom of the cliff, you see the ship nose-up like it's trying to pull up, but it keeps falling straight down regardless and falls out of view. A few seconds later, the ship races overhead as if atmospheric flight was trivial.
* In ''Film/TopGunMaverick'', Coyote suffers from G-LOC during a training exercise. He regains consciousness just in time to retake control of his plane, but the scene waits a moment for him to reappear from behind a hill to show it.
* ''Film/WildWildWest'': After West and Gordon take off from the top of a cliff in their bicycle/airplane, the flying machine falls quickly and goes out of sight, only to fly up from the bottom of the screen and continue on its way.
[[AC:Live-Action TV]]
* At the end of ''Series/RedDwarf'' episode "[[Recap/RedDwarfSeasonVIGunmenOfTheApocalypse Gunmen of the Apocalypse]]", the ship crash-lands into a sea of lava and disappears, then re-emerges with full thrust and the crew rejoicing.

-->"Birds fall from the window ledge above mine, then they flap their wings at the last second. I can see their dead weight, just dropping like stones or small loaves of bread, past my window all the time. But unless I get up, and walk across the room, and peer down below, I don't see their last-second curves towards a horizontal flight."
