Watch This Pilot Somehow Crash And Fly Away At The Same Time
Sometimes pilots make mistakes. If they’re lucky, nobody gets hurt and you walk away to fly another day. This pilot somehow managed to make a series of bad choices and still managed to keep on flying. (flightclub.jalopnik.com) さらに...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I was there and saw it. Say what you want, the guy is a hell of a stick. Plane was going into a roll. Left rudder, positive rate and at 70 feet it was gaining altitude. The most important thing taught to Multi Engine pilots is MANTAIN DIRECTION STABILITY and he did. I know more about it but we will leave it at this. I'm a 4200 hr. IFR SMEL pilot
Yes, a lot of people questioning his skill. I don't. That was some flying that most pilots could not have pulled off. As for judgment, well... That is were he is left exposed.
Down here somewhere is a link with an interview of the pilot.
Maybe turobfans....only the shroud will get damaged, not the blades.
Not only is he a skilled pilot but he is a Master Machinist to be able to dynamically balance the props "On the Fly" like that. That takes a fine touch on the stick.

According to him, he was coming in too fast, so he raised the gear 20ft agl...obviously to reduce drag as to go faster because that's what any sane aviator does when they are unstable at that altitude.
No...the old timer forgot to drop the gear. Probably disconnected the gear buzzer too. Time to give up that medical.
