Cessna emergency landing!

[jwboll]

Would have, should have, could have...

Who cares about the plane? If I were in that situation, I'd keep the engine running too. thousands (or hundreds or whatever) of landings with engine power on and he looses a gear leg, now you expect him to test the landing characteristics with engine off too? maybe he should have picked up a passenger mid flight, and had him crawl out on the right wing tip to make a perfectly balanced landing... or landed on top of a pickup truck driving down the road.

@jwboll the ideea with the pick-up truck is great! Stunt ideea: have a plane land on three cars driving on the runway with the same speed and at a calculated distance one from the others.

[lizzieismine]

where did the landing gear go OO?

[Firehawk2047]

@lizzieismine I have been asking myself this question too. I haven`t been able to find out from the Internet. I supose it landed in a poor folk backyard.

[pyro999maniac]

brilliantly done!

[Vyppaaa11]

A C-170 RG? I've never heard of cessna makng a RG taildragger. But I know that the 170 is far more common in europe (which is where this video is taken in case you could't tell by the siren) so the chance of seeing one over there is probably higher.

[Firehawk2047]

You have a point here.

[Vyppaaa11]

@Firehawk2047 A point where?

[Firehawk2047]

@Vyppaaa11 I was referring to the fact that the movies was filmed in eastern Europe.

[Vyppaaa11]

@Firehawk2047 K, just was'nt sure.

[TheMattyccc]

This is the cause of many of the trenches all over 27/09

[vanepico]

Nicely done!

GRANDISSIMO...complimenti al pilota sangue freddo e ottimana manovra.....

COMPLIMENTI

[zuzupetals1999]

If he was really good, he would have shut the engine off and prevented a prop strike. That just added another $25,000 to the bill.

[Firehawk2047]

Well I think the plane was a Cessna Skyhawk or Skylane, the propeller is wrecked after the impact with the soil but the engine should be fine, it becones like a car in Neutral. Its a safety precaution for the engine. A prop is 25.000 $, wow :D

[ritualghost]

No, propstrike = engine overhall. zuzupetals1999 is right.

[YesIamAPilot]

The prop is connected to the engine via a rubber belt. Meaning there would have been no damage to the engine, like there would have been in a turboprop aircraft. Why dont you not comment when your aviation experience is limited to watch video on youtube or playing flight simulator.

[zuzupetals1999]

You're kidding me right? THE PROP IS FIXED TO THE END OF THE CRANKSHAFT! The belt that you see inside is for the ALTERNATOR, ass-wipe. I've had my ATP for over twenty years and more total time than you could ever count. And noyouernotapilot, you're an idiot.

[Meuk1982]

Ouch! Everybody who learned to fly a Cessna knows that, from the moment you start reading the manual. Still, what do you think about mostly4moderate's argument about the go-around?

[Firehawk2047]

A go-around ? Well if I was the pilot I would have approached the runway with minimum speed and after the contact with the runway, I would have compensated with the elerons the lack support on the right side. Personally I would try to keep the plane at a minimum speed all the way, to avoid doing a ground flip, thus turning the engine off.

[anythingthatflys]

Well for one thing the plane is a Cessna 185 with a three blade prop, it would of hit the ground engine running or not. The tear down procedure is the same running or not and insurance pays it anyway. The pilot was holding full right aileron but the leverage of just one gear is way more than than full control can give once the plane slows down. The pilot did a perfect job minimizing the damage, now does anyone know what happened to the gear in the first place?

[Msagro5]

@anythingthatflys ...... Your post is the ONLY one that makes any sense! LOL At any rate, I had the same question about how the gear got that way (gone!) in the first place. Must have had a rock strike on take-off that cause it to depart, but 185 gear is built TOUGH! Am wondering if this is a fake video when considering how you could lose a gear leg and still depart.

[Firehawk2047]

Well that depends on the spped the aircraft has reached before the wheel became unstable. The pilot probably felt a trembling similar to the one you would feel when going with the car on a bad road. having sufficient airspeed he took off. And there you have it, the complete ipotethical situation.

[Vyppaaa11]

@YesIamAPilot Are you a little retarded? The rubber belt is for the alternator and anyone that has seen the aircraft up close would know that. BTW, I really am a pilot and if whatever country you live in gave you a license then god help them!

[Firehawk2047]

Well, don`t aggrieve each other please. If that would be the case, we better keep you whits about us when you are flying YesIamAPilot :D

[Vyppaaa11]

@Firehawk2047 So you still think the rubber belt is for the prop?

[Firehawk2047]

@Vyppaaa11 if i recall well I never said that. I only said, that like in a car, it links the alternator, to the engine and I`m inclined to belive that is corect.

[Vyppaaa11]

@Firehawk2047 I'm sorry, I just realized that you are not the person my original comment was directed at.

[Firehawk2047]

@Vyppaaa11 no offense take. I appreciate your point of view on this topic.

[BrandonMCL]

Yeah but not everyone can be as good as us.

[swizzlestcks]

Well done! Congrats to the pilot for keeping his cool!

[helobelow]

Wow! Great job.

[SPrescott2611]

Bloody Hell!

Fantastic landing hats off the that pilot.

Really well done.

The croud were quite right to aplaude.

[Firehawk2047]

Ideed, the landing wasn`t really that hard but it was spectacular
