Air Race Deadstick Landing

[sking0369]

What happend, looks as though your prop continued to turn?

[gowill2]

@sking0369 the prop will continue to turn over certain airspeeds. this doesnt mean the airplanes engine is running. although.. when an engine quits, the windmilling can be used to restart.

[RCFlyingBoy2009]

super awesome!

[Mambero75]

Ok Spacedgurl - you're a troll and definitely not a real pilot, I'm certain of that. It's a good thing you closed your account. If you get your jollies putting other people down, whilst inadvertently advertising your lack of intelligence and knowledge to others then good for you, but seriously you have psychological issues. Good riddance!

[stevethepilot]

What kind of plane was this?

[RenkoUsamimi]

This guy shouldn't be allowed to operate a camera, made me sick... Very impressive flying on the part of the pilot though.

[keithskye]

@RenkoUsamimi

Can't believe your comment...it's a camera mounted on top of the pilots helmet. What you can't see is that his eyes are moving well beyond the angle of the camera, so he's not looking at just what you can see in the video.

[RenkoUsamimi]

@keithskye

Alright, and I'm supposed to know this how? I've personally never flown a plane with a camera strapped to my head before.

[SenorSpode]

@RenkoUsamimi You're not expected to know, only expected to ask. That's what separates the intelligent from the assuming. Strive for intelligence; ask more questions. Making assumptions bores others and makes you less attractive to converse with.

[RenkoUsamimi]

@SenorSpode Alright, thank you for your wonderful input, all wise master of the universe and everything intellectual. I've been a wreck for over a year not knowing such a valuable lesson. Thank you so much for gracing me with your knowledge.

I know I'm coming off as abrasive, I just hate when people talk down to me. I made a mistake, alright?

[SenorSpode]

@RenkoUsamimi If I was talking down to you, you'd be in flames. I was talking to you as an equal, which is far more than I can say for some of the pathetic losers who occasionally open their anuses here on YT. So, with that in mind, peace.

[RenkoUsamimi]

@SenorSpode The way you put it was like a teacher talking to a student, and no offense, made you come off as a high-horsed choch, even if it wasn't intended. If I may be allowed to just this once ignore my own advice and offer you some advice; don't give someone advice unless it's asked for.

[SenorSpode]

@RenkoUsamimi Well, that being the case...you can shove it up your tight little ass with an elephant and 5,000 feet of runway, you troglodyte. Go get butt-hurt elsewhere, ya twat. Cheers. :-)

[RenkoUsamimi]

@SenorSpode Wow, I even stated that I wasn't trying to be rude when I said that. You call others "pathetic losers" and then spew something like that? Real mature bro. Don't bother responding, as I won't dignify you with another reply.

[oliverlebot]

very freggin nice mate! what was the reason? tho

[nz3rdsqr]

the most important three things when flying with problems. aviate, navigate, comunicate in that order.

[wcolby]

Nice landing, Looks like Earls' Baby Doll low on the inside. Walt

[CaptainRass]

Well done!

5*s

[turboromy]

What is that flickering stuff ????

Thought it was prop windmilling but it keeps rolling even after speed seems low enough.

[LiveAllegroDieAdagio]

@turboromy it is the prop

[DIAMONDBIRD4]

Was that in a Glasair ? I love those planes. :)

[phlegmie]

AWESOME! really enjoyed this, good work

[MelvinScout]

WOW! Good stuff right there. To be flying so low and so fast and to have a malfunction, and to land in one piece is some awesome airmanship!

[RobertGary1]

The reason he pulled up was because you want to capture your best glide sleep. During the race you are flying faster than your best glide so to conserve energy you pull up to capture best glide (which also causes you to climb). Best glide speed keeps you in the air the longest. Airplanes are held in the air by their wings, not the engine. During a descent for landing in an airliner the throttles will often be brought to idle for part of the descent.

-Robert, FAA Certified Flight Instructor

[Spacedgurl]

no shit sherlock!! are you a genius...or just some flight simulator pilot!! you have not a clue you dumb fuck!! go learn how to really fly!!

sheeesh.....whatever dipshit!!

[RobertGary1]

Apparently you need a basic course in reading youtube threads because I wasn't responding to you.

[Spacedgurl]

of course you werent....maybe you need that course....I was making a comment about what you said, as it is clear your an idiot and do not know what your saying. Have you actually raced at RENO? I have. and will be there this year again.

sincerely.

A real CFII/MEI A,H

[RobertGary1]

Which part did you not understand? That best glide speed keeps you in the air longer or that its the wings generate lift, not the engine. Let me know and I can explain it in more detail.

A *real* CFII/MEI

[Spacedgurl]

Actually, it would be nice if you could speak comprehendable english. While you are learning to fly, maybe take some english lessons to. We thank you in advance.

[b1cc2]

you meant to say: "English lessons TOO"

[Spacedgurl]

The proper way to say that, is like this: A pilot will pull up to convert Kinetic Energy (A speed which is higher than best glide) to Potential Energy (Altitude Below). When an engine "Lets Go" we are taught to pull into the center of the course, look out the window, and whatever you see, that is where you are landing, and that is where all the emergency teams are.

Are you really sure your a flight instructor...some how you don't sound like one...or maybe your just a really really abd one.

[RobertGary1]

Do you have a kinetic energy gauge in your airplane? We use the airspeed indicator and fly best glide speed, but if you want to sit there and compute your kinetic energy transformations in the cockpit more power to you!!! Its ok, I have an undergrad in engineering so I can talk energy management if you want, but some of us try to prioritize tasks during such an event.

[Spacedgurl]

Doh! we are talking explanations.....so sorry to embarass you with a proper explanation. BTW....Best glide speed is not a fixed number.....yah really...do some research.

Cheers.

[RobertGary1]

where did I say best glide speed was fixed? Are you saying you don't know what your best glide speed is before entering a race? Damn, I even know my best glide speed in my Baron for any flight and I'm not likely to need it.

-Robert

[Spacedgurl]

Best glide speed is not that important. When your that low, you pull up, turn in, set up and put it down on whatever is in front of you. I did it once....never once looked at my airspeed...it all happens within seconds in a Draggy Pitts....you react, and wrestle it to the ground.....more important to keep the darn thing flying until you hit the ground....sure best glide speed might be important if your at 10K....but not at 50 feet.

[DL272]

2 words for you: "L/D max"

[b1cc2]

OMG, where to start. YOu really are uneducated. YOu don't use proper puncuation much. The funny part is, I'm sure you used your best writing to tell this guy off. Not only were you wrong about telling him off, you were wrong about his English being worse than yours. "YOUR" a flight instructor? BWAHAHAHAHA you stupid bitch. You mean you're?

[williamkreth]

shut up you bloody idiot

[bzhfbz]

i think you both need to grow up

[b1cc2]

You really are a stupid dumb cunt. Stick to what you know. Your'e probably a shitty cook, and someone's living room is dirty because you're out here trying to pretend you're a pilot. You're uneducated, obnoxious, and you belong in a fucking kitchen making sandwiches you stupid fucking twat. If you were here I'd slap you the fuck down. Are you good at anything?

[RobertGary1]

Went to public school, did you?

-Robert, CFII

[9thprotocol]

only dumb-fucks fly in aircraft...you deserve all you get

[CommanderKeyesII]

you know as you say that its the dumb fucks making sure the marines don't walk into a build swarming with Tangos, Its the dumb fucks who have to come in a blow that building up, its the dumb fucks who have saved Marine live by bombing a target that had to be destroyed, i could go on all day.

[McStabbins]

I agree, though, I'll admit that it tales a dumbfuck to want to fly a plane. But it takes a special kind of crazy to jump out of a perfectly good airplane with every intention of killing everything at the LZ so that dumbfuck can land and take you back home. :)

[krispykreme82603]

im a pilot you know, and i dont appreciate being called a dumbfuck

[coolied]

Wow, someone who wants to operate a vehicle that happens to fly is a dumbfuck? Amazing logic there. So, since driving is WAY more dangerous than flying, should we say that all drivers are absolute total dumbfucks?

[legoman6000]

please, you join the army... be a marine and go to afghan. or Iraq.... then tell me how it feels when you have to kill everyone in a building without any air support... at least one member of that regiment will die.. now lets say a plane come to help you... now all you have to do is wait for the plane to come and completely destroy the building for you...

if there are no bombers, A different plane comes out and drops off more troops (parachute), and your army gets a lot stronger.

[CalxP]

so u prefer boat?

[garctown]

fuckin ace.

i woulda shit myself.

[stringfr]

Beautiful landing!!! Good commentary. Love the video.

[sammvoyager]

ok, its a "heavy glider." Quit arguing. Worthy note -July 1983, 767 Capt Bob Pearson of Air Canada w/ his navigator Maurice Quintal, successfully glided their Boeing 767onto an abandoned Military air strip after it ran out of fuel at 41,000 feet. Their 767received only 1/2 the fuel needed on that flight from Toronto to Edmonton. Fuel loading was miscalculated through misunderstanding of the recently Canada-adopted Metric system. No training simulation existed. Google or Wiki Gimli Glider.

[RobertGary1]

The 767 has a pretty good glide ratio. It designed to be aerodynamimcally clean.

-robert, CFII

[unsf8518]

wow nicely done :P

[siratb]

Nicely done !

[apkape]

I'm getting motion sickness.

[midtoad]

Wow that was scary. You just pulled off a landing that every glider pilot does hundreds or thousands of times throughout his/her career.

[timbit2011]

yeah...i agree. at first i was like, Whats the big deal?

[ortzinator]

except gliders are specifically designed to fly well without power

[Skybolt21]

Hey, moron. You ever heard of 'Glide Ratio'?? There's a huge difference between a glider and a plane designed for air racing. Comparing flying a glider to deadsticking an air race plane is like comparing a retard (you) to Albert Einstein.

[FLYJB]

@Skybolt21 I guess you could tell that to every shuttle commander, the crew of Air Canada Flight 143 and to sully and his crew too?

[ctruman]

landing in a glider is like jumping out of a plane with a full parachute, landing one of these race planes while gliding can be compared to jumping out of plane with a blanket and hoping it'll slow you down

[dimidekker]

Nice comparison! People should think before saying stupid stuff like that. Glider =/= race plane.

[teampullmyfinger]

How about trying to re-start it as #1?(just a thought) I have had 5 engine outs and never scratched a plane and only landed one of them on a runway,that's the time I was able to restart the motor. So I only have 4 real deadsticks. Still, I know how you felt and with my big brother in the right seat!! Good job!

[MarsTSM]

Great Job!!

Looking forward to Reno 08'!!

BTW..what went away on the engine exactly?

[ak4570]

Sure gets quiet. Well done!

[tallhunter1]

Nice video.
