    I can say for a fact that hearing air traffic control congratulate you for your successful crash landing are the most powerful words you will ever hear. When i was 16 I was in a tour helicopter crash and I had my eyes closed when we crash landed. the only reason I knew I was alive was that I could hear air traffic control saying "beautifully done God bless". I opened my eyes and could see emergency vehicles racing towards us and a crowd of people clapping and cheering that we were alive. Nothing will ever kill my faith in humanity after that day.

    I used to work on oil rigs and have been in quite a few rough helicopter flights and landings and I’ve got to say all the pilots were exceptional at flying and all of them were The calmest people I’ve ever met and didn’t seem to have any nerves.

  • @Wolfdings
    @Wolfdings Před 3 lety +9

    Wow No.3 is outstanding! Obviously the rear boom is faulty and the pilot struggles to keep the helicopter from spinning - yet in the end he releases the pedal for a moment to let the copter turn around to a full horizontal stop just before he sets it to the ground. Impressive skills!

      The first clip is actually an aborted take off, or a major screw up after having actually landed. czcams.com/video/s_GRRzmjt6I/video.html has a slightly longer clip then shown here.
      #3 and #1 is just incredible pilot skill and keeping one's head.
      #2 I wouldn't quite consider as an emergency landing as it looked like a perfectly operating helicopter trying to land in seriously adverse conditions. Very different then trying to land with damaged controls and your engine catching fire.

      I remember having helis bring our supplies. We didnt have an actual helo deck. So the pilot would fly about 25 ft above the deck until the load was unhooked on deck. The whole time he was flying sideways at 15 knots give or take!!

    @Raver-Meister Před 5 lety +10

    #5 could have turned deadly for everyone involved. Tail rotor struck the ground and sent the heli out of torque. Thank goodness for the safety net and quick reaction from the pilot slamming it on the ground. Look at the main rotor and how close it was pitched towards the guy taking cover.
    As for #1, whenever you see smoke like that coming out of the turbines it's ALWAYS a problem. It already started losing power and the pilot should have engaged auto-rotation procedure immediately. He was probably busy looking at instrumentation and didn't begin auto-rotation until 3:55. Must have been a great feeling coming so close to the ground and realizing you still had enough power to pick a proper landing spot, great work!

      ... unless you are over Hollywood. No better spot to have an incident and then, predictably, make a movie or at least a scene in a movie or TV series about that, no matter if they already did it before.

    • @Alantheleopard
      @Alantheleopard Před 5 lety +1

      @Hugh Mongus You are imagining way too many things, I'm afraid.
      First, I am afraid that it is naïve believing that you know well enough a stranger you are in contact with for the first time so as to judge him right out of the blue with so much self-confidence. Make well sure first and know that people well before making any judgements. That said, I refuse to become popular, certainly (another thing is that people take my comments wrong and make me popular against my own will, but that's not my problem). Camera-suckers (what you call "selfish individualists") are those who suffer from an over-proportioned ego and want to make it public and thus become famous, and that's definitely NOT my style, since as I said before I prefer to stay in the shadows.
      In other words, it´s not my fault if some over-interpret my comments distorting reality (and making a Hollywood movie out of my life). Having some imagination is good, but keeping it well under control is even better.
      And then that part you mentioned on an accident and killing people...It impacted me for what it literally means (needless to use any bit of imagination): "If at least you had mentioned that the best reason why the best place to have an accident was over hollywood was because you might be lucky and kill a bunch of Jews while falling.You might've had my thumbs up".
      Were you really conscious of what you were typing then? I hope that you were, because it sounded brutal to me. Not even as a joke would it be passable (and nope, I am not a jew). Be careful with freedom of speech, because it has its limits of tolerance.
      That all said, I am concentrating on the incident itself, which was certainly risky enough so as to make it yet worse.
      And now tell me: isn't it true that at times Hollywood film directors become crazy at shocking moments in real life and want to make their own version in a movie? That's undeniable, and there are hundreds of examples about it (natural disasters, exaggerated dangerous animals like crocodiles, anacondas and so on, attacks on civilians like terrorist attacks, wars and lesser incidents).
      But don't deviate any more and concentrate on the video itself.

    • @Alantheleopard
      @Alantheleopard Před 5 lety +1

      @Hugh Mongus Freedom of speech DOES have its limits. Have you heard of verbal aggression, or simply insulting? We're in a world were freedom of speech is been left too much loose and uncontrolled.
      "I won't give a shit about it". Wildcard phrase for those who have no strong argument against to show.

    @OldJoe212 Před 5 lety +4

    About 15 minutes out from a firebase in Vietnam, the Huey I was on got hit and started burning. Our pilot made a u-turn and started back. We were losing altitude. I was a grunt just going back out to the boonies. We were just high enough to get over the wire at the end of the runway. The firetrucks were on each side as we were going. Our pilot didn't bother to hover. He just dropped it and we slid in. Me, and 5 other grunt, just took off running. Considering the amount of ammo, frags, claymores, and C4 we were carrying, we didn't want to stick around. Never found out who the pilot was but I hope he made it back to the world in one piece.

    • @michaelfarm

    • @ryanhampson673
      @ryanhampson673 Před 6 lety +3

      Well the idea would be if you had a right stuck pedal to roll the throttle off and that would keep you straight so you could autorotate...Left is trickier. You’d roll off slightly, which would increase your left turn at first but the idea is to stall your tail rotor with lower rpms to stop the spin. Left pedal is by far the worse of the two.

    • @TimToussaint
      @TimToussaint Před 6 lety +8

      Ryan Hampson No, that’s not the way for left (power) stuck pedal. The guy in the Enstrom messed it up. He was lucky he was in a very sturdy aircraft, and lucky all round. Proper procedure would have been to mix in Collective at the end, which would have arrested his left yaw. And land at that moment.

    You got the video of the H-53 landing on the beach! Great. So many other uploaders only show the departure. Thanks.
    The Lynx video shows one reason why there is an effort to make RAST (Recovery Assist Secure Transverse) systems work well. Now on a deck with that much pitching motion I am not sure even the BEST RAST system would have been able to be used due to the requirements for connecting to the helicopter.
    The float system on the Bell Jet Ranger was a version I have not seen before.

    • @doogleticker5183

      Does this RAST system include the HHRSD "beartrap" put into service in the 1960s in the Royal Canadian Navy?

      CH-53. Flew in them a bunch. Never heard them called a H-53. Could be my mistake though. Either way theyre the best troop transport America has. Some would say nah the Ch47 is but I dont trust intertwining rotor blades. Real good friend of mine died in a CH-46 crash on 1st day of Iraq-OIF. Still cant find the crash report but another Marine from the Purple Foxes squadron said it just went nose down and fast from 10-12k ft. Killed all on board. 4 Marines (2 of them pilots) and 12 or so British Troops.

      John Rambo ,
      OIF stressed weapons systems in a real world ecosystem, not the laboratories. Logistics failures, systems failures, and more showed how stage managed so much of our exercises and weapons testing had been for decades. Stupid simple stuff like having to support dozens of different proprietary battery packs instead using common batteries or battery packs. Our boots fell apart in a quarter of the time the laboratories said they would.
      Troops with no drinkable water for days. Not enough links to create ammunition belts for M-249s, so the troops had to swap out magazines from that ridiculous angled magazine port.
      And yes, helicopters that really had no business being put into such an environment. We know better now, but a good number of Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, and Airman died because we really had not done the preparation we thought we had.

      Do you suppose they put it down on the beach because the chip detector alarm in the gearbox when off?

    • @jamesrobinson5672
      @jamesrobinson5672 Před 6 lety

      Why is there no R.A.S.T. probe. I believe the MH60R is R.A.S.T. capable?

    • @KJK9029
      @KJK9029 Před 6 lety

      James Robinson I don’t know what a R.A.S.T probe is but maybe they just didn’t need or want it for training?

    • @user-Bryster87
      @user-Bryster87 Před 6 lety +7

      That is a Romeo. The Danish opted out from outfitting it with the RAST system. They have their own recovery system. Source: me... I work on them

  • @johnedwards1685
    @johnedwards1685 Před 5 lety +1

    Thank Heaven the crews in those water landings were saved by the impeccable skills of their pilot. The sight of those aircraft abandoned on the open water is heartbreaking though, I expect there was no saving them.

  • @BudHound420
    @BudHound420 Před 3 lety +6

    A few from the top 5 in my opinion were not emergency landings. Not when everything is ok until the tail rotor hits while landing. That is just an accident while landing not an emergency landing. You need to be coming in already in trouble with an emergency to be a emergency landing.
