    Walked away...no one hurt - good landing. Yep prop strike will run some bucks on the overhaul and depending on the G's at landing, might need to pull the wing and inspect the main spar. Thank goodness for insurance lol.

    He was doing a Panic Pull and Pedal kind of reaction. That produces a "Stalling Forward Slip". Easy to stall/spin like that. That is called "A Pulling Forward Slip" too. Those are panic reactions that you dont even remember afterward. But this video show it very clearly. That is why instead dropping all flaps and letting it land on the grass (no problem), he stalled it from 6-8 feet high..hit prop and bent front landing gear, engine mount, ect. Too bad..and also forgot to use flaps.. Practice eng fails to a grass runway often and land, not just go around on short final and call it a "landing". Avoid these pilot errors That Cherokee hope still is repairable..wing damage?. That was a hard dam hit.

      @@TheDogsoldier117 He didnt have enough altitude for a slip but kept putting strong right aileron and left rudder by panic. That is called "The Panic Forward Slip". Im a CFI of low emergencies and aerobatics. Some guys do that without noticing it. I do notice it. That is one of the reasons they can do good crosswind landings to the right, due you cross the controls almost like that on that crosswind landing. But.. But they cannot do crosswind landings to the left at all due controls are the opposite of "The Panic Forward Slip" they do without noticing it.

    • @TheDogsoldier117
      @TheDogsoldier117 Před 4 lety

      So he basically cross controlled and stalled it, if he did that at 1000 feet her probably put it into a spin and go right into the ground or am i wrong

      @@TheDogsoldier117 Cross Controlled in Panic and slowed down to stall speed at about 15 feet agl. If higher, he could have spun and kaput both of them occupants. Looks like he lost partial power on engine and was trying to bring it back from the downwind leg, did an emergency short approach from low downwind leg (Good) but his cross controlling killed the speed on the right turn and he crashed stalled before the runway. He had a prop strike and bent landing gear. Someone posted he sold the airplane after the crash. I teach 2 kinds of engine fails on take off roll and 4 kinds while climbing out to TPA. That is the engine RPM drop turning crosswind leg and turnaround the airport to a short approach (The Low RPM To Low Downwind Turn Around Maneuver). It teaches how to deal with the most popular kind of engine fail on take off. Most are partial power. But pilot errors cause the crashes. Pilot errors cause 90% of the crashes. Even if runway was reachable. The Panic Forward Slip is done a lot on those low alt. emergencies and it is one of the main errors. They also pull too much up elevator in panic too. That is called the Panic Pull. This guy was doing almost both, that is why he stalled it.

    Question for the pilot. What good is it that you use your call sign in the pattern with identifying what type of aircraft your are. I fly my TBM over your field wouldn't you want to know what type of traffic your are dealing with versus JUST tail numbers? I fly here in the NYC metro area, in and out of controlled and uncontrolled airspaces. I never recall anyone just using tail numbers to ID themselves. As a rule, fly as if you were dealing with Approach. Approach always asks what TYPE of aircr

    You have to install a ferry tank. You basically take out the back seats and put in a large fuel bladder that takes up the back passenger area. I think the range with the bladder is extended to close to 2600 nm which is enough to make it to hawaii.

    Yeah, I fly from YSBK, from time to time. again, not disagreeing for no reason atall. just look at the film. Close to the ground whilst in a medium bank turn to the right the plane pitches up, and yaws and rolls to the left. Also the plane continues to pitch up but its rate of decent does not change. I get he was trying to line up with 29C, but it would be better to land on any old patch of grass, even not aligned than get into a a spin.

    I would have to disagree with you on the 'spin' point. That particular day, I have finished my lessons and headed back home when my instructor called me and told me what happened. The pilot was trying align the plane with the runway 29R but because he came shallow and from bad angle (not aligned with the runway) he tried to rectify the matter by banking the plane to the right. Bankstown has three parallel runways with 70+m grass separation in between. Nevertheless, he made it back to earth.

    I Don't mean to be a wet blanket but there are some important lessons here, as most of us never get to practice this part of any force landing. The guy stalled VERY close to the ground, this is VERY dangerous in most circumstances. He is lucky because he actually entered a SPIN, luck because if he hadn't, His wing may well have struck the ground and that would have been curtains. If he had been just a few feet higher, that spin would have rotated him further and the other wing would have struck
