This over two hour 9/11 account.. is not like all of the other footage from that day.. 'Tuesday Morning in September': It is what 9/11 was to many, outside the first ring at Ground Zero. It is in reverence to those who perished, and respectful to those who lost their loved ones on that paradigm shifting tragic day. It is the retrospection that is needed for our time.
@210482fmj That's because the people who fly them lack experience. Pilot induced error vs. mechanical error is quite a big spread in ULA's. It's too bad, really. Some more lessons would have prevented this guys face being used for an air-brake.
@MercuryReliance that may be the case sometimes but they are still have an element of risk. ultra lights are going to be more vulnerable. I have seen gulls effected by bad weather
@210482fmj And you say this why? Because you know so much about it? I guess you been in the cave the last 10 years for how much of General Aviation is "experimental" now? And guess what not a statistical difference to speak of. Sure it can be dangerous, most fun is but to stereotype with such ignorance ..Now that is where danger really begins! And of course the FAA who with their bureaucracy disables aviation at every corner and promotes ignorance through regulation, that lead to failure.
cant they drag the body out farther for a better view?...my god....we cant see anything!...i've never seen a retard mangled quite that way....move the EMT's off to one side too...they're always in the way!...how are we supposed to decide if we want to sustain those injuries....unless we can SEE WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE!....AND IF WE CANT HEAR THE SCREEMS.....HOW CAN WE LEARN ANYTHING!...LOL
I`m not a pilot but have flown several aircraft.. Nice and steady. i known enough about aerodynamics to know that aircraft will not fly sideways. They fall.. Thats why you don`t do this unless you have several thousand feet of space below you.
if he had another 20ft.. it looked ok ,,, but ,, doing a wingover at that altitude breaks all the common sense rules ,,,, altitude .altitude altitude ,,,,, my flight instructor put that in my head many many yrsl ago ,,, and it will never change ,,,,,,,just look at all the very experienced pilots at airshows ,that have died just to put on a demo of aviation skills ,, i don't think this one will ever make the blue angels ,,,,,
I hope this man made a full recovery and finally jumped back on the horse.I've always wanted to learn have to fly ultralite,or powered parasail but at the time I had no idea how to get into it.I live in Bucks Co. ,Pa. where I heard of a place in Doylestown that had instructors but back then,I was on my own with no friends that shared my interests. I had the money (good credit)back then but it never materialized.Plus,there are only so many places you can fly these things.
Just a few seconds and a life long injury. I hope this guy recovered well. I fly a lot and would never make a move at the height he was at, it is asking for trouble at low levels. If he was at a few thousand feet he would have had loads of time to recover.
If you had done the wingover at a higher altitude,this video may not have been on you tube.Just a case of bad judgement witch happened to be in an ultralight. We see it all the time at airshows in certified and aerobatic aircraft.That was a really hard whack , I hope you make a full recovery.
I agree im a pilot and must say that he banked the wings well over the limit while only 50 feet above the ground resulting in no time to correct resulting in that horrible crash. Remember altitude is your friend in an airplane. I hope the guy is allright.
its not a question of the aircrafttype that is dangerous or safe.. its a question of the bilots awareness of the situation .. no skilled pilot would manouver his aircraft like that- crash is mandatory. an old pilots word says: "dont fly anywhere your mind has not been before 5 minutes ago"..
poor guy.. i hope he recovers from that terrible crash ..
i haven't met an airline pilot yet that would fly an ultralight . any time a real pilot with thousand of hours of training says those guys are crazy you know it ain't no good
@thomasuras I've met quite a few airline pilots who fly ultralights, in fact my instructor on ultralights flew 727's & F28's. Your statement is indicative of your lack of knowledge.
Crashes one flying machine only to be rescued by another...how ironic....and yeah, those ultralights are dangerous, just look at the statistics...or maybe it's not the airplanes as much as the poorly trained people who fly them. If you want to fly, get the proper training.
i agree, BUT ultra lites should still be unregulated. oh, and thats nos ironic, just normal. if you still think its ironic, then you think that a human rescuing a human is ironic, or maby machens making machiens in a factory is ironc? @flyncatfish P.S im not angry, just wanted to clear up the meaning of ironic. i tink i heard once that 90% of airplain crashes are human error
Graphic footage of why you should not do wingovers or manouvers like that so close to the ground. In fact I am guessing that that ultralight has not been approved for any manouvers like that.
it was terrible to watch, but glad the pilot survived. I would guess that if it had been a regular cessna or other GA plane, he would have been killed. That's the irony of ultralights in that they just cannot get going very fast due to high drag and that is probably what saved him.
that is a nice airplane. I have flown four different true ultralights and now am flying a Sky Arrow from Italy, but will be flying a Sport Cruiser from Czechoslavakia as soon as owner of our rental company finishes up the negotiations. Anyway, I was just trying to make a point that ultralights are so dirty that it is a lot harder to gain speed in them. No big deal
careful man,,, its not czechoslavakia,,hasn't been for 18 years now,,,, its Czech Republic,,, good luck on the sport cruiser, they fly great,,, to bad they don't have a tail wheel version. keep an eye on the nose wheel,,,, close eye,,,, also the factory has been shut down for 6 months now,,, 10 planes sitting on the floor not finished due to lack of funds, bummer,,,,
Probably not, any pilot who stayed awake during ground school would have known not to bank his plane at an eighty degree angle fifty feet off of the ground at low speed. Flying any kind of aircraft.
@jwboll ..Talking like a true pilot that never had his wings banked more than 10 degrees and wouldn't know a spin stall if notified with a hammer to the hand.. I bet you think Nascar drivers flunked drivers ed too.. The plane has more than enough capability to fly through that with ease. It looks like he backed off the throttle or said "Jesus take the stick" or could of had some sort of medical condition..Regardless the maneuver is a simple one done all the time..with practice.
Today we salute you Mr. "It's my 1st time flying" Ultralite Plane pilot for having more guts than brains. You've demonstrated that flying an oversized kite with a motor is perfectly doable. Coming down, however (I'm coming in for a crash landing) takes practice and lots of guts( Did somebody call 911). "Real men of Genius"
Hey everybody who is wondering - to avoid a repeat accident, learn to fly these tricks under instruction and practise, practise, practise at a safe height before trying them at low altitude.
@helzotter how's that broken back...shame you didn't land on that fat ugly kraut face of yours..or did you?? I'M NOT DONE WITH YOU PUSSY!! I throw a ball, YOU come and bring it back, until I say otherwise..you got that BITCH?
The problem is NOT the hobby! It's stupid pilots that fly beyond their own means and the capabilities of the aircraft!
That sought of maneuvre in a high drag, low intertia aircraft at that altitude is suicide and this outcome is a good reminder to the consequences of dangerous flying.
That wingover was a pretty dumb manoeuvre at that height. Low level aerobatics can seriously damage you health! Hope the pilot wasn't too badly injured?
AirEvac got a bad feeling in their stomach, thats why they were cautious landing... My father almost hit a cow and his wing got caught in a tree and did a nose dive at 20 ft. Just a broken ankle. But this person should be okay, the damage was from the feet to the knees. Im sure they had "organization laws" to follow FAA code, thats why EMS were there, and might as well have AirEvac just in case. Because that was a serious crash. Then again, all of the ultra-light can be bent by hand.
That was no where near a pin you tools, it was a wingover and he didn't have sufficiant height to recover. Get of your flight sims and learn the theory
Any of you actualy pilots ? What he did is he exceeded his max bank limit / min. speed at to low an altitude to recover. He lost lift due to loss of airflow over his wing. NO, he,s not in a spin, sheesh, if your gonna comment on flying at least learn the theories of flight ! Me, oh gee, I grew up flying with my dad, started building a Sirroco at 9 and was a USCG AD3 HU16e Flt.Mech./ HH52a SARcrewman who gotta do some CPseat time in TVC & Miami so yes I DO KNOW what I,m talking about.
Wow bud... sounds like someones a bit upset? Commercial Heli License is a lot harder to obtain then a private fixed-wing license. Have YOU ever flown in an ultra-light? Seriously... chill... Your just a crewman who doesnt even know HOW TO FLY... USCG Hero though. That IS for sure. Thank you for your extremely dedicated service. USCG has saved a lot of lifes that shouldn't have died. "Your not a pilot though..." :P
That looks more like the start of a spin as a Result of a stall. Maybe the wing caught a bit of wind... to me it looks like a stall resulting in a spin.
I wonder if the pilot was "stomping on the rudder".
I know Cessna 150's are famous for this kind of spin...
looking at the video it may be one of those issues where the aircraft stalled. too slow of an airspeed and too low to the ground to pull turns such as what was on the video. One can see that the airplane actually stalled during the turn.
it looks like crosswinds might have got him or his engine died. thats why you get a glider. they glide if the engine fails but they still suck in wind.....
Its hard to tell from the video but it looks like he stalled during the wingover and it went into an incipient spin. 200' higher and he would have recovered. He was too low for doing that sort of maneouver anyway
haha. love the dickhead comments on youtube. here's mine. This is a hard lesson about airspeed and stalling. I am glad he survived to fly again. Re: Can't bank at 45 degrees - What bullshit - Any aircraft can do any positive manouvre as long as it can maintain at least 1g down through the craft and not more than the craft's +g rating. Go ask Bob Hoover if you don't believe me.
I would suggest mastering such maneuvers up high, which would allow for a larger margin of error. If altitude permitted, he could have likely corrected the stall before impact.
Actually the 2 sentences aren't connected, as they may have appeared. Just a bad deal all around. Homeboy is flying in high altitude climate, less dense, low lift, extreme angle attack, then stall. I bet he learned a lesson from this, ALTITUDE.
Of course you can bank safely at 45 degrees...but, this pilot stalled and went into a spin, story over. Pilot error, just like a bicyclist turning in front of a car. Don't blame the vehicle...
Replyto fatbear92: While there's no reason an ultralight cant do a 45 degree bank under perfect conditions, what cowboy6591 says re the limited bank angle makes a lot of sense: Any aero designer can prove it for yourself: The ultralights have a low power to weight ratio, and much smaller allowable cg envelope. So a slight increase or shift in weight or slight crosswind, at low airspeed eg when turning into or out of pattern, CAN lead to lost lift & u will corkscrew to the ground as in the film
There were over a dozen people within 10' of the patient and wreckage. Wreckage that weighs less than half as much as a motorcycle. Did they need a dozen people to lift that away? Did they need the jaws of life (visible at 1:10)?
This was not a very well coordinated rescue. Very overzealous-too many people there, and "we've got heavy rescue tools-let's use 'em." It looked like everyone was thinking "Golly, we've got an airplane crash!" instead of treating ABC's of patient.
Always bring extra equipment, you never know what you will encounter. Some ultralite are closed cockpit, which would require jaws of life in some cases.
The AC in total weighs in the about 250lbs (most bikes 250-450) hardly "less than half". The engine weighs in around 100lbs and was suspended over the pilot & held by several people during the extrication. The "jaws of life" as you call it can be seen in the first few seconds and is actually a Hurst Cutter & used to cut things like the tubing, cables, etc, that surround the pilot in an UL such as seen in the video. Reading your words I was thinking "Golly, what a complete and utter moron".
Don't let the creep get to you. I also have an ultralight video posted and trust me, they attract idiots that think they're smarter than everyone else. It has been my experience, if they are actually flyers, the gene pool will be rid of them soon enough.
I had to look back at your first comment to see what the bmw guy was talking about. I completely agree with your assessment of the extrication. When they yanked the pt out of the wreckage without proper c-spine in place? What the hell was that? And they are the Jaws of Life made and patented by hurst, the "Jaws of life" being more like a trademark. So bmw can suck on that. Oh and I'm a firefighter/engineer/emt for over six years. Still a baby but I know vehicle x very very well.
Prayers to him, An ultralight taking a turn at over 45 degree tilt [roll]? Some full scale planes couldn't handle that without plummeting to the ground. I doubt he did that on perpous. I have [but not now] flown these beasts and beleive me they DON'T have to be dangerous but human error prevailes after a certain amount of time, witch is why adventually after getting your feet wet in an ultralight you should move up to a full scale cessna or something with more envelope in it's abilities.
There's no reason ultralights can't bank at 45+. I don't think i'd try it at 200' AGL, but it's not the fault of the plane - it's the fault of the pilot.
he moved his leg. I think the chopper was more there because of isolation than exstensive trama.

NO, he,s not in a spin, sheesh, if your gonna comment on flying at least learn the theories of flight ! Me, oh gee, I grew up flying with my dad, started building a Sirroco at 9 and was a USCG AD3 HU16e Flt.Mech./ HH52a SARcrewman who gotta do some CPseat time in TVC & Miami so yes I DO KNOW what I,m talking about.

Wow bud... sounds like someones a bit upset? Commercial Heli License is a lot harder to obtain then a private fixed-wing license. Have YOU ever flown in an ultra-light? Seriously... chill... Your just a crewman who doesnt even know HOW TO FLY... USCG Hero though. That IS for sure. Thank you for your extremely dedicated service. USCG has saved a lot of lifes that shouldn't have died. "Your not a pilot though..." :P

Looks like the ultralight was past it's weight envelope.
And he was too close to the ground for a wingover.
I hope he recovered fine.

How the hell did you come to the theory of over the weight limit
blacls 2 years ago
Because of the high speed stall.
And the size of the pilot.

That looks more like the start of a spin as a Result of a stall. Maybe the wing caught a bit of wind... to me it looks like a stall resulting in a spin.
I wonder if the pilot was "stomping on the rudder".
I know Cessna 150's are famous for this kind of spin...
ie "graveyard spin"
krusty36m 2 years ago
I could never get a 150 into spin that it would bring itself out of.
Ever. Including the Aerobat.
screamingcockatoo 2 years ago
looking at the video it may be one of those issues where the aircraft stalled. too slow of an airspeed and too low to the ground to pull turns such as what was on the video. One can see that the airplane actually stalled during the turn.

Its hard to tell from the video but it looks like he stalled during the wingover and it went into an incipient spin. 200' higher and he would have recovered. He was too low for doing that sort of maneouver anyway

haha. love the dickhead comments on youtube. here's mine. This is a hard lesson about airspeed and stalling. I am glad he survived to fly again. Re: Can't bank at 45 degrees - What bullshit - Any aircraft can do any positive manouvre as long as it can maintain at least 1g down through the craft and not more than the craft's +g rating. Go ask Bob Hoover if you don't believe me.
In this instance this pilot did not. eeek!

I would suggest mastering such maneuvers up high, which would allow for a larger margin of error. If altitude permitted, he could have likely corrected the stall before impact.

HE might of recovered if he had corrected the right way first.

Actually the 2 sentences aren't connected, as they may have appeared. Just a bad deal all around. Homeboy is flying in high altitude climate, less dense, low lift, extreme angle attack, then stall. I bet he learned a lesson from this, ALTITUDE.

It's got nothing to do with the plane.If you stall a 747 at too low an altitude,it would crash just the same,probably with NO survivors.
chueffer 3 years ago 3
When playing around in one of those things, or anything else for that matter, altitude = time to correct mistakes/failures/surprises.
I'm sure getting into a helicopter was the last thing he wanted to do right then.

Of course you can bank safely at 45 degrees...but, this pilot stalled and went into a spin, story over. Pilot error, just like a bicyclist turning in front of a car. Don't blame the vehicle...

thejay2012 3 years ago
Replyto fatbear92: While there's no reason an ultralight cant do a 45 degree bank under perfect conditions, what cowboy6591 says re the limited bank angle makes a lot of sense: Any aero designer can prove it for yourself: The ultralights have a low power to weight ratio, and much smaller allowable cg envelope. So a slight increase or shift in weight or slight crosswind, at low airspeed eg when turning into or out of pattern, CAN lead to lost lift & u will corkscrew to the ground as in the film

There were over a dozen people within 10' of the patient and wreckage. Wreckage that weighs less than half as much as a motorcycle. Did they need a dozen people to lift that away? Did they need the jaws of life (visible at 1:10)?
This was not a very well coordinated rescue. Very overzealous-too many people there, and "we've got heavy rescue tools-let's use 'em." It looked like everyone was thinking "Golly, we've got an airplane crash!" instead of treating ABC's of patient.
Keep it simple!
bodybager 3 years ago
Always bring extra equipment, you never know what you will encounter. Some ultralite are closed cockpit, which would require jaws of life in some cases.

The AC in total weighs in the about 250lbs (most bikes 250-450) hardly "less than half". The engine weighs in around 100lbs and was suspended over the pilot & held by several people during the extrication. The "jaws of life" as you call it can be seen in the first few seconds and is actually a Hurst Cutter & used to cut things like the tubing, cables, etc, that surround the pilot in an UL such as seen in the video. Reading your words I was thinking "Golly, what a complete and utter moron".
RalphWiggumBMW 3 years ago 2
What's half of 450 lbs?
If I said Hurst Cutter, 99% of the people on here would not know what the fuck I was talking about.
And I know a thing or two about vehicle extrication as a Paramedic, keyboard jockey.
Reading your words, I am thinking you are a comlete and utter faggot with nothing better to do.

Hi,
Don't let the creep get to you. I also have an ultralight video posted and trust me, they attract idiots that think they're smarter than everyone else. It has been my experience, if they are actually flyers, the gene pool will be rid of them soon enough.
webadage 3 years ago
I had to look back at your first comment to see what the bmw guy was talking about. I completely agree with your assessment of the extrication. When they yanked the pt out of the wreckage without proper c-spine in place? What the hell was that? And they are the Jaws of Life made and patented by hurst, the "Jaws of life" being more like a trademark. So bmw can suck on that. Oh and I'm a firefighter/engineer/emt for over six years. Still a baby but I know vehicle x very very well.

Prayers to him, An ultralight taking a turn at over 45 degree tilt [roll]? Some full scale planes couldn't handle that without plummeting to the ground. I doubt he did that on perpous. I have [but not now] flown these beasts and beleive me they DON'T have to be dangerous but human error prevailes after a certain amount of time, witch is why adventually after getting your feet wet in an ultralight you should move up to a full scale cessna or something with more envelope in it's abilities.
cowboy6591 3 years ago
Ummm...not much in your post makes sense.
There's no reason ultralights can't bank at 45+. I don't think i'd try it at 200' AGL, but it's not the fault of the plane - it's the fault of the pilot.
