Emergency crash landing Cessna 210 - onboard camera + TV news

[tvoice1]

Aren't the controllers supposed to be speaking English?

[602780573]

@tvoice1 not true. ATC must speak in a country language or English up to pilot decision. In countries where English is not welcome like Spain or France lots of pilots speak in their languages... but always they can switch to English anytime.

[plsniper]

This title makes me wonder. What's the difference between an emergency crash landing and a crash landing?

[602780573]

@plsniper maybe because the plane declared emergency before the crash landing

[plsniper]

@602780573 :) Ok, I'll buy that. :)

[curbshoppin]

@plsniper a crash landing is when you are in the plane, an emergency crash landing would be if i was in that sumbitch......i dont fly well and watching all this youtube doom and gloom aint helping....but i watch anyway

[hondaxl250k0]

i love birds that glide well... dont you???

[yynnmmbb]

silence at 1:32 is very scary 

[BAACCOOOOCk]

This was a great belly land.

[SoCalDualSport]

I'd bring that bitch in with no flaps, full speed and let the prop stop me. Why not mow the lawn and get something done.

[manifestgtr]

such a shame...cardinals are my favorite cessnas

good job on his part too...people can say what they want in youtube comments about how they would've handled it, what they would have done differently and how they could have pulled it off better...but that's all a big steaming pile of horse shit because until you've been tested in the way this guy was, you really have not a clue how you would handle it despite what you think

[foroparapente]

A good landing is one you can walk away from. An excellent landing is one where you can use the plane again afterward.

[c6rocks]

I was afraid he was going to be stupid and try to land on one wheel. He would then have died a firey crash.

[Kopihucky]

I bet the plane was rank with poop until the 2 could clean out their shorts.

[motokid032]

Pretty normal for retractable gear Cessnas.

[flexairz]

Not a 'crash' landing at all. Just a gear up belly landing.

[AMT4245]

@flexairz that's a crash landing. the word crash doesn't always mean rippling metal and explosions

[flexairz]

@AMT4245 In this case it was a gear up landing, no matter how you want to call it.

[DiamondPilotDan]

10 feet*

[DiamondPilotDan]

Hmm I think.... I'd come in low and a bit fast with full flaps, shut the engine/fuel off, and bleed off the speed at 10th above the ground until I heard the horn, then let it come down. Saves some money on the engine/prop work, and seems safe enough. Great job tho, I like how he chose the grass rather than the runway

[ZBWDO]

@DiamondPilotDan Shutting the engine/fuel off kills your options if someone, something, emergency vehicle, etc. quickly comes into view and you realize your only options are hit the object or stall/incipient spin/cartwheel. Once you declare an emergency, the insurance company owns the airplane. Your only job at that point is to keep yourself and your pax safe. Keeping the engine on is YOUR insurance policy; let your airplane insurance policy pay for your new engine and prop!

[602780573]

@DiamondPilotDan He tried to stop the propeller already in the air at stall speed but w/o effect. Anyway it was a quite profitable crash engine was short to overhaul period so a new one was paid by insurance company instead by owner.

[RobertGary1]

@602780573 Its a 3 blade prop. There is no use in stopping it, its going to contact the ground either way.

[rrip1]

I'd have worn a pair of roller skates and stuck my leg out the other door

[chalanotube]

good job!

[acefrehl3y]

I'm not sure what the reporter said, but I could swear I could hear the words bullshit and dipshit in there...Maybe I'm wrong.

[itsmonti1]

@acefrehl3y  That's what I keep hearing too. I cranked up my volume real high and I can barely hear the announcer say, "What an asshole! He shouldn't even be up there!"

[SenorSpode]

My only critique was the early shutdown of the engine on first pass; as long as the plane's still flyable and you have plenty of fuel, you can do as many go-arounds as you want before you commit, hell with the other pilots in the area, they are only pressure against you. Then you can kill the engine a few hundred feet up, position the prop and glide it in. But it was your landing, not mine, and you did it superbly!

[AirCanada04]

Good idea for the grass landing, but with my experience and textbook rules the landing gear shouldn't be down if 2/3 gears do not deploy, so if You only have 1 gear, you have to land belly flat. More safer than a gear that came off and is bouncing everywhere which can pose as a risk to safety.

[maseraticrg]

airport doesn't need a lawn mower now..

[Joe22822]

ive witnessed the same incident with a 210 and they wouldnt do the low approaches to burn off fuel can always just hold it would be much safer to burn fuel that way he did the low approaches to probably trouble shoot the malfunction and get the feel of the conditions for the approach as well as the pilot cant see the landing gear for most planes

[videovic99]

it looks much smoother from the outside

[ZBWDO]

@videovic99 The guy outside wasn't scared shatless.... ;)

[menacetosociety84]

landing was pretty good,but i wouldve taken the paved rwy...without gear landing in grass, the risk of flipping over would be too high for me.

[FlightLevelHeaded]

Nice landing....your papers, please.

[mrfloppyjoe]

did anybody else notcie the homless guy on the news

[onecheman]

Yay, allways are the RG cessnas the character of this type of videos xDDD 

[tsbrownie]

A 210 with standard tanks can fly for about 4.5 hours. You can do 5 TO's and landings per hour (easily); his few attempts would not have even burned off a quarter of the fuel so I doubt he was trying to burn off fuel. From first hand experience I can tell you he was scared yet trying to get the best possible conditions for a landing. I love the fact that they had hardly stopped moving when the tower said good job, they SHOULD have said "turn off mags, get out fast, rescue is on the way".

[plsniper]

Awesome job!! Brawo, superowa robota!! Nie ma to jak slowanscy piloci! :)

[krabby4000]

solo flight?

[ZBWDO]

@krabby4000 And that would explain the guy in the back seat holding the camera how? ;)

[wph1138]

WHAT?



[HIllCarver]

great video! Thanks for sharing!

[otapnz]

excelente procedimiento... muy buenoo

[garrad]

How do those news reporters find time to breathe when they talk?

[atariocero]

if the tower says to you "Good Luck".. a) first solo b) you are fuck up.

[mUcHa3591]

Oh boy, an ATC told me "Good Luck" while I miss reported "Thirty Thousand feet" as my cruising altitude rather than "Thirty hundred." I suppose I was "b" category!! :)

[LOWS1]

perfect Job! Many airliner doesnt land so smooth at the runway during standartflight ;-)

[lealowo]

i'd rather be on the ground missing the air than being in the air, missing the ground

[sisko197]

Kick ass

[simonspiers]

Tell the pilot he's first rate!

[AirCanada04]

I've never seen that before. 1 gear? After 3 tries, he chose a smart thing to do and landed on the grass, to avoid closing the airport and adding sparks when the undercarrage hit the ground.

[gump1119]

@AirCanada04 He most likely made multiple passes to burn down fuel before finally landing. Less fuel is less landing weight meaning you can make a slower final approach. Obviously being slower is good as far as reducing damage and chance of injury, and less fuel is good in a crash-landing for avoiding a fire.

[kalotmul]

Awesome pilot... you're great friend

[kirchhoff1814]

fun.

[fortys625]

haha super :)

[arthurivanmunhozvaz]

It was missing the emergency procedure as FlyinandDrivin said.

In addition I would try to touch with the minimum speed and full flaps extended.

I could no hear the sound of the stall horn.

[lowflyingcessna]

Nice job pilot! Kept composed and calm and brought your 210 safely and you walked away. AND, that airplane is very fixable.

[iNSANEcOOkieMONstEr]

Great controlled crash landing. The best,,, as you walk away to fly again another day!

[FlyinandDrivin]

Good Job landing it so no one was hurt.

Just a few things to remember for the Future.

1. Before landing, Mixture Idle Cut-Off

2. Ignition Key Off and Out

3. Open cabin door to prevent jams caused by airframe distortion.

[marco21falcon]

210's seem to have an aweful safety rating

[linoleumcarving]

@marco21falcon is not because they have vacume pump history of failure ?

[terryk1233]

or awful maintenance practices

[fernfeyes]

That's why they call it the tangle footed double breasted chicken hawk..

[itsmonti1]

If you walk away from any crash landing, It's a good landing. That's what my instructor says.

[jmm006]

yea, if the plane's still usable its a great landing

[ChiCan76]

my instructor used to say 'three hours from toke to yoke'

[EatMyPropwash]

@itsmonti1 a landing is nothing more than a controlled crash, and I AM an instructor. :) I usually tell my students "any plane we can reuse after landing was a good landing"

[tinyman12323]

@itsmonti1 And any landing the plane could be used again is an AMAZING landing.

[OneSkiWonder]

@itsmonti1 If you use the same plane the next day, it's a great landing. :)

[logitechnc]

miska piska waska?

[flight10]

Nice Job!

[pudd750]

nice instrument panel and avionics stuff in the plane

[umahuma4]

does that alarm get annoying? Wouldnt that be destracting

[amediastintas]

there should be a circuit breaker.

[Transam941]

Its supposed to be annoying.

[FoulOwl]

Believe me,he's got more shit on his mind than an alarm buzzer.Besides,the headset reduces the volume compared to what we hear.

[fernfeyes]

@umahuma4 ..There is an alarm that goes off when the throttle is pulled back to a certain point without the landing gear being fully down..as in this case. In a normal situation it would serve as a reminder to the pilot to put his feet (landing gear) down.

[PeteGG]

The reported at 0:20 definately has a face meant for the radio.....! Ugliest reporter ever?

[bodyboardkid1]

yeah well done. amazing landing.

[iovac2]

congratulactions perfect forced landing, i have an forced land too in a turbo arrow III

on a corn field here in guadalajara  mexico, you are a very good pilot.

[sshapewa]

what the fuck?dude is that really you?where you on that plane too?

[602780573]

my friend from our flying academy. He gave me the video day after accident. I was at home :D

[OneSkiWonder]

@602780573 I love how it's dedicated to all "real" pilots. Thank you much for not including all the "I can fly in flight sim just fine" pilots. :)

[ZBWDO]

@602780573 Question: Did he try an emergency gear extension?

[602780573]

@ZBWDO of course yes. But with no hydraulic oil in the gear system a manual pump procedure is useles. Emergency gear extension in Cessna is just "electric pump override". Without hydraulic pressure manual pump will not help. Pretty stupid system I have to say.
