yea the media is pretty messed in the states, anywhere really, im in canada and we dont see as bad of stuff ethier becuase it dont happen or its two violent. Nice work to the pilot though
@spacerconrad And I understand the whole "safety margin". But you don't have that when you have to land or takeoff at a short field. You trust your plane.
@spacerconrad 1700 feet is plenty though,... it's a typical short field. Pilots train for Short Field Takeoffs and Landings, (See my video)
He'd be off the ground in like 500 feet and just do the technique for clearing a 50 foot obstacle, (By the way the PIC would have checked out the area to make sure there was nothing in the way) and then they'd be off. They just have to hold the plane at Vx and climb outta there. There are much shorter strips out there you know.
Emergency, is just that an emergency. Hence, an emergency landing. We are trained to look for the best place to land an airplane when there is an emergency that takes away your power, and a straight road is a perfect place. Just look out for powerlines and overpass' and signs on the side that you can clip a wing. This CFI pilot (me not knowing all the details) did perfect. Engine out, best glide, landed, got it fixed, and took off. Good on ya, every one happy.
Love that worker at the end lol but beautiful job to the pilot. Usually I get pissed by news reports of aircraft incidents but this one actually seemed more genuine...
What a political nightmare for the FAA... They must hate when this type of stuff happens even when it is this small. The media just hypes is up so much and never get the facts correct.
"Common practice" my eye. I don't even have my PPL, but I can tell you that, as a pilot, you never have the right to put others in danger even in an emergency situation. Landing on a highway is the absolute last-resort, and the thought that a CFI would brush it off as something trivial takes some real nerve. You screwed up big, pal. When it comes to aviation, arrogance like that can get you killed. What an embarrassment.
I should elaborate more. The Embraer 170 takes about 1644 feet for a take off roll. It would take longer to actually clear obstacles, but it's still a short distance. A 152 or 172 could get out of here easy, unless it was like a higher terrain or really hot day. Just a typical short field.
@freddotu Yeah it's just the way it is these days. I think it's crazy.. I fly a 172 and the airfield I fly out of only has 3000 foot runways. I'll tell you, I don't even use HALF of that. Barely a quarter..
600 yards? That's 1800 feet. An embraer 170 only needs 1600 something feet to take off full weight... Pretty sure that 152 can do it. Why must news make everything sound so risky?
@TheMeslava, I've thought about that a lot too. I believe that the media, especially the television media embrace the concept of a culture of fear. It sells advertising and that makes them money. More fear, more money. "The roads are dangerous, the skies are dangerous, there's so much danger. Tune in at eleven for more danger. Buy products from our advertisers."
Always leave a big margin for mechanical/environmental problems, including wind, obstacle height (takes time/distance to climb above the treeline), humidity, etc. A Cessna 150 can be off the ground in a few hundred feet, but I'd *never* recommend that anyone attempt a takeoff with only that much space available.
@ScudRunnR It's the part of the engine where the fuel and air mixture is burned to move the pistons. The pistons spin the shaft that rotate the propeller. So I think you see the problem.
@californigirl, as you're probably aware, the media rarely gets anything correct, and especially when it comes to aviation related topics. A competent pilot should be able to handle an engine out and this one showed his abilities just fine. I'll concede the point to a pilot who has an engine lose a propeller blade, of course.
hey dumbass hillbilly,why would he buy your lottery ticket,sounds like you could put a couple extra bucks in the collection basket,pray real hard and god can give you the winning numbers,aint that what god does,or does he just ordain ordinary people with temporary abilities to avert tragedies?
"...as the fuel cylinder malfunctioned". Stupid reporter, there's no such thing as a fuel cylinder. And 1:29-1:31 was a mechanic's shop video clip, not that of the actual aircraft. The media wonders why we scoff at them wherever and whenever they show up...
well from what i learned on the history and military channels germany built the autobahn for the most part as runways for fighter planes so using highways as emergency landing strips isnt that far fetched. heck that air canada flight up in gimili used a drag strip as one and thats basicly a highway that goes nowhere.
@137ronix, in an emergency, any safe place to land is permitted. it's the taking off part that's unusual in this case. It's very rare for an aircraft to be given permission to depart from a roadway.
The key requirement to the Interstate System is that the road must be able to be used by aircraft in an emergency, as stipulated under the Eisenhower qualifications.
@InuKun2008 I've seen a show about building the autobahn in Germany during WW2 and part of the specs for that involved being used as a runway. I imagine most of the interstate system could handle a landing (barring traffic issues)
Damn Uh that last guys needs to know that good pilots, especially the PIC of this plane looking like he has a CPL, instrument rating, PPL etc., have something called years of training.
Landing it wouldnt be so hard, but not hitting cars? That was a great job. And yeah, I can lift off in my 172 (Larger and heavier) in somewhere around 250-300 yards.
That is one high time Cessna 150. Check out the wrinkles . No wonder they painted it basic white to hide the dents Just have to wonder how many hours on the powerplant (0200) and airframe.
@michaelpilot1000 Kind of looks like the scary shit they used to make me fly! We'd have 20 squaks on a plane and they would say "you logged it out for this time so you'd better take it out flying or were just going to charge you anyway." Some of the smaller schools, such as the one I went to just tried to constantly make a buck! You know what I'm talking about Pat B.
@Shortstory123 It's a 1977 Cessna 150mh . The wrinkles in the cowling, firewall forward , show that this Cessna was probably flipped. Forward flip. Maybe onto its back. Would have to see the maint. logs.
I learned to fly in older aircraft. 1946 Taylorcraft, 1946 Ercoupe and Cessna 152.
Anyway, a bad cylinder is usually caused by excessive heating and cooling. Due many take offs/landings, heating and cooling the jugs. Training aircraft go thru alot of heads. Costly for training opps.
@michaelpilot1000 Oh, I understand the cost involved. They were a little bit more reasonable (cost) when I started flying. I couldn't even imagine the cost involved today. There were so many times, while flying from the school I did, that I was waiting for one of these moments to happen to me; not that we didn't practice emergency landings to death, but the potential was definitely there.
@Shortstory123 I can recall other student pilots and pilots walking into the airport with there head down saying they just collapsed the nose gear or that they just tagged a snowbank with one of the wings. The aircraft gets fixed to new spec. and you are the next one in line to fly it. scary!!! Or at least your mind tells you it's scary. I really enjoyed those days, but at the same time, I have to wonder if I'd still be around. Myself, I always flew the tricycle gear. No tailwheels.
@nameispassword The safe bet is a fuel pump. The 152 uses no belts, everything is gear drive off the accessory case on the back of the Lycoming O-235. Loss of oil, a broken piston or piston rings would prevent the engine from putting out the power needed to take off and the engine would chew itself up in a hurry.
I don't know. If it was anything that could have been seen durring preflight or while on the pad before takeoff then that student will catch hell. I know as a student pilot that it is nearly 100% up to me to notice somthing wrong, (usually i'm left alone for preflight, i don't know what other schools do).
Fuel cylinder? WTF? I'm guessing what was meant was fuel starvation from a clogged in-line filter. Good job on the landing and roll-out. Looks like they had the engine stopped and angled correctly before they got off the highway. I wonder who was PIC for that? Kid sure got his money's worth that day.
I cannot believe the FAA allowed the pilot to take off from a highway!! Especially considering a c150's amazing STOL characteristics... NOT!!!! Ground run on a c150 on flat ground I believe is right around 1300 ft. 1700 to clear 50ft obstacle
@bergice1 Sometimes thats all you can do. During engine failure you have the ABC's
Airspeed at 68 KTS (for Cessna 172) then search for the Best field and finally go through the check-list to attempt a restart. Fuel on both, mixture set magnetos set throttle set. and if there's no restart its time to face the facts, you're going down regardless. Its not like you can climb outside and dig around the cowling and diagnose a broken plane then fix it and climb back in...
A good A&P can recertify a continental or lycomming 4 banger in a few hours. 1800 of ft is plenty (probably needs like 600 or 700 ft.) safe distance to take off, that is why the FAA allows it.
Almost 1000 hours in a 150 and never lost all power when I have lost cylinders. It may run shitty but it is no big thing to land it in 600 yards. More like 600 feet and thats letting it roll out. You could jam the brakes and put one in the numbers, done it a thousand times showing off like an idiot.
It says in the FARs that you aren't allowed to take off from anything other than an airport... I understand that the landing was an emergency, but the takeoff wasn't, so I am pretty sure that that would be considered illegal.
Thats pretty awesome. I wonder what flight school he works for. I practice landings at Ormond all the time and I soloed at Flagler less than a week ago. Pretty weird to think about possibly having to do this myself one day.
Funny how the guy at the end had to degrade the pilots training and skill by claiming he needs to pay money to a church for the good outcome. What an ass.
Try that shit in the UK and end up in court for not having road tax or insurance. The police proabbly take the plane away then charge £150 to get it out of the pound
@cjellwood, an interesting observation. In the USA, an emergency landing does have to be "verified" but a failed cylinder certainly qualifies. In some cases, it is necessary to bring in a transport to haul away the aircraft, which also requires to close the road, so the end result is about the same.
Flight in Europe is more severely regulated, I understand, but an emergency there is likely to receive similar results.
@cjellwood in alaska its legal and you dont need special permission (you do need to notifiy the ATC) to land on the highway or to take off. Alaska is awesome
@cjellwood Off topic, but if you drive in the UK and dont have Tax or Insurance, and you get caught, then you deserve to have your car impounded for being such an idiot.
@cjellwood The Eisenhower interstate system was developed with landing emergencies in mind. The interstate has straight runs every few miles on purpose for this very reason. With proper clearance, and police roadblocks, this type of event breaks no laws here in the U.S. . In fact the FAA reported 16 emergency roadway landings in 2010 alone, none of which resulted in fines or Pilot license revocation. The system works.
@gpgab971 Actually that first part isn't exactly correct. While the design specifications for the interstate system happen to make fairly decent runways, there was no intent in the Federal Highway-Aid Act, and absolutely no specification for making x in x miles straight. Refer to Snopes.
You're right, and in building I don't believe they had any intent to land aircraft on the highways, but I am sure they amended it when it became apparent it was useful for that reason. All they had to do was move the power lines further away from the road for wing clearance in the straight sections of the highway.
Depends on years and options. Up until 1994, Cessna offered both versions, and then when the taildragger got less popular, they made the business solution to make conversion kits to cut costs, but still make the taildragger system available.
cessna 150 and 152 aircraft were built as tricycle gear aircraft only...the cessna 140 that preceeded the 150 was a conventinoal (tail dragger) landing gear ..production of the 152 ended over 25 years ago and a STC from private companies make a tail dragger conversion kit...no such kit was offered by Cessna
@DJK290 Cessna ceased piston airplane production in 1984...the 150 production line ended in 1976 when the 152 model was introduced...the 152 ran from 1977 till 1984...neither models were offered as a tail dragger..the cessna 140 of which the 150 was based was the last tail dragger of that type
to my knowledge Cessna never offered or marketed a taildragger conversion based on the product liability costs
@backintack ...um....the 150 and 152 are tricycle gear aircraft...the cessna 140 was the conventional gear ( taildragger) model from which the tri geared 150 was made..
@TheCessnaFan Yeah, most people can land in 600 yards multiple times, the difference is that there's an emergency. Most pilots can land on a road, the difference being under an emergency and not knowing if anything will fail or if cars will get in the way, etc etc etc
"Only 600 Yards?" "Risky Maneuver?" What the heck? That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard! The most dangerous part of the whole thing was landing. A 1300 Pound plane versus a 3 ton mini-van would not be good. The Media always distorts things, and should not be trusted based on what they say alone.
True that. I'm sure he just waited in ground effect as best he could until he was sure people saw him and slowed down. If I saw a plane overhead getting lower I would slow down lol.
And 600 yards? I can take off and land 3 times in that plane in that distance lmfao.
Totally right, no Risky shit there. Just the landing.

Ok, I'm a Flight Instructor who also OWNS a Cessna 150, and I'd still like to know what a 'FUEL CYLINDER" is? There are Cylinders, which get the proper fuel /air misture via the carburetor, but there are NO FUEL CYLINDERS? What is a Fuel Cylinder? :)
@Cmuelle1 You should also watch out for the dreaded checkered seats. It's like a locust except you take a 'chute withyou. How dare you question the media Ha!
Hahaha, only 600 yards of runway for a little thing like a 152. Even its big brother the 172 needs just 600 FEET of road for the ground roll at max weight.
@1bottlejackdaniels Well the speed limit in Illinois is 65mph for semis. The rotation speed for a cessna 150 is 50kias so the truck would have actually been going faster than the plane.
@Vyppaaa11 wow, really? rotation speed is for take off you dumbass. You should be taking about approach speed, which is 60-65 KIAS which is 70-75 MPH which means truck was going slower and once again we see how you are a shame to humanity's intelligence.
@Vyppaaa11, yeah, I know what you mean. It's like they think they are uh, um, pilots!
The pilot in the "pilot shirt" is an instructor pilot and the company for which he works requires the instructor pilots to look professional. It's a shame that a pilot should look sharp and professional. It just gives them a bad name... on YouTube! hahahaha
@freddotu Those shirts were originally worn by airline pilots. Every instructor I know that works for a flight school usually just wear either button down shirts with the school or company name embroidered on them or polo shirts with the school or company name embroidered on them. It is the same reason you don't see flight instructors wearing flight suits, those are for military pilots and for people that fly military aircraft. And if the school requires him to wear those shirts that is (cont

@cliffsplace It's like when something goes wrong with the engine thingy.

@cliffsplace can be any of a large amount of things. broken piston, broken belts, piston rings, loss of oil, water in the system to name a few

@nameispassword The safe bet is a fuel pump. The 152 uses no belts, everything is gear drive off the accessory case on the back of the Lycoming O-235. Loss of oil, a broken piston or piston rings would prevent the engine from putting out the power needed to take off and the engine would chew itself up in a hurry.

if you tried to land on a road where I come from the drivers on the road wouldn't let you land! they'd just sit there in your way! lol

I don't know. If it was anything that could have been seen durring preflight or while on the pad before takeoff then that student will catch hell. I know as a student pilot that it is nearly 100% up to me to notice somthing wrong, (usually i'm left alone for preflight, i don't know what other schools do).

Fuel cylinder? WTF? I'm guessing what was meant was fuel starvation from a clogged in-line filter. Good job on the landing and roll-out. Looks like they had the engine stopped and angled correctly before they got off the highway. I wonder who was PIC for that? Kid sure got his money's worth that day.

I cannot believe the FAA allowed the pilot to take off from a highway!! Especially considering a c150's amazing STOL characteristics... NOT!!!! Ground run on a c150 on flat ground I believe is right around 1300 ft. 1700 to clear 50ft obstacle

@bergice1 Sometimes thats all you can do. During engine failure you have the ABC's
Airspeed at 68 KTS (for Cessna 172) then search for the Best field and finally go through the check-list to attempt a restart. Fuel on both, mixture set magnetos set throttle set. and if there's no restart its time to face the facts, you're going down regardless. Its not like you can climb outside and dig around the cowling and diagnose a broken plane then fix it and climb back in...

A good A&P can recertify a continental or lycomming 4 banger in a few hours. 1800 of ft is plenty (probably needs like 600 or 700 ft.) safe distance to take off, that is why the FAA allows it.
Jamesfromnyc 1 year ago
Almost 1000 hours in a 150 and never lost all power when I have lost cylinders. It may run shitty but it is no big thing to land it in 600 yards. More like 600 feet and thats letting it roll out. You could jam the brakes and put one in the numbers, done it a thousand times showing off like an idiot.

It says in the FARs that you aren't allowed to take off from anything other than an airport... I understand that the landing was an emergency, but the takeoff wasn't, so I am pretty sure that that would be considered illegal.

Try that shit in the UK and end up in court for not having road tax or insurance. The police proabbly take the plane away then charge £150 to get it out of the pound
cjellwood 1 year ago 35
@cjellwood, an interesting observation. In the USA, an emergency landing does have to be "verified" but a failed cylinder certainly qualifies. In some cases, it is necessary to bring in a transport to haul away the aircraft, which also requires to close the road, so the end result is about the same.
Flight in Europe is more severely regulated, I understand, but an emergency there is likely to receive similar results.

@cjellwood The Eisenhower interstate system was developed with landing emergencies in mind. The interstate has straight runs every few miles on purpose for this very reason. With proper clearance, and police roadblocks, this type of event breaks no laws here in the U.S. . In fact the FAA reported 16 emergency roadway landings in 2010 alone, none of which resulted in fines or Pilot license revocation. The system works.
gpgab971 7 months ago
@gpgab971 Actually that first part isn't exactly correct. While the design specifications for the interstate system happen to make fairly decent runways, there was no intent in the Federal Highway-Aid Act, and absolutely no specification for making x in x miles straight. Refer to Snopes.
osculant 7 months ago
@osculant
You're right, and in building I don't believe they had any intent to land aircraft on the highways, but I am sure they amended it when it became apparent it was useful for that reason. All they had to do was move the power lines further away from the road for wing clearance in the straight sections of the highway.

Depends on years and options. Up until 1994, Cessna offered both versions, and then when the taildragger got less popular, they made the business solution to make conversion kits to cut costs, but still make the taildragger system available.

cessna 150 and 152 aircraft were built as tricycle gear aircraft only...the cessna 140 that preceeded the 150 was a conventinoal (tail dragger) landing gear ..production of the 152 ended over 25 years ago and a STC from private companies make a tail dragger conversion kit...no such kit was offered by Cessna

@DJK290 Cessna ceased piston airplane production in 1984...the 150 production line ended in 1976 when the 152 model was introduced...the 152 ran from 1977 till 1984...neither models were offered as a tail dragger..the cessna 140 of which the 150 was based was the last tail dragger of that type
to my knowledge Cessna never offered or marketed a taildragger conversion based on the product liability costs

@TheCessnaFan Yeah, most people can land in 600 yards multiple times, the difference is that there's an emergency. Most pilots can land on a road, the difference being under an emergency and not knowing if anything will fail or if cars will get in the way, etc etc etc

"Only 600 Yards?" "Risky Maneuver?" What the heck? That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard! The most dangerous part of the whole thing was landing. A 1300 Pound plane versus a 3 ton mini-van would not be good. The Media always distorts things, and should not be trusted based on what they say alone.

@TheCessnaFan
True that. I'm sure he just waited in ground effect as best he could until he was sure people saw him and slowed down. If I saw a plane overhead getting lower I would slow down lol.
And 600 yards? I can take off and land 3 times in that plane in that distance lmfao.
Totally right, no Risky shit there. Just the landing.

@1bottlejackdaniels Well the speed limit in Illinois is 65mph for semis. The rotation speed for a cessna 150 is 50kias so the truck would have actually been going faster than the plane.
Vyppaaa11 1 year ago
@Vyppaaa11 wow, really? rotation speed is for take off you dumbass. You should be taking about approach speed, which is 60-65 KIAS which is 70-75 MPH which means truck was going slower and once again we see how you are a shame to humanity's intelligence.

@freddotu Those shirts were originally worn by airline pilots. Every instructor I know that works for a flight school usually just wear either button down shirts with the school or company name embroidered on them or polo shirts with the school or company name embroidered on them. It is the same reason you don't see flight instructors wearing flight suits, those are for military pilots and for people that fly military aircraft. And if the school requires him to wear those shirts that is (cont
