  • Only one thing to say during a take off like that. Weeeeee!!

  • what does AMA mean?

  • @PirateSygnal You realize you can also do that in a 172?

  • Your dad is a badass.

  • You mean scary take off?

  • Bet that put some brown in his shorts!

  • didn't look that bad. they had plenty of runway for that aircraft.

  • In Russia the

  • FLUCK ME LOL

  • Nice piloting. The 182 is much better than the 172. I had some closed un-improved fields I used to land in, and I did the same thing. Use ground effect to lift off, then yoke forward to fly just above the ground to gain airspeed for a climb out. Nicely done. Peace.

  • looks like the runway in jurassic park 3

  • Ballz of steel!

  • i like this kind of crazy stuff

    

  • Dude, there is NO town NOR vollage in Venezuela is called Frijol... im guessing the locals or your daddy just told you that so you shut the f... up and stop asking while they loaded the "Medical" aid. lol

  • @danielgdlv wtf do you know?...Lay off shithead....

  • normally this type of light air craft should take less then 600 meter if loaded heavy weight could be round 900 meter but this video show more then what he need left off the ground unleast this pilot just to show off his fucking face

  • In Russia we have many tree.

  • Wheww, that's heart attack material...

  • wtf was that O.o

  • your dad has balls.

  • no, he was going from colombia to the caribean with 300kg of drugs

  • dude there goes your ride...

  • Brave man

  • he was flying for AMA (Adventist Medical Aviation)

  • @enorton25 What ever happened with him? I heard about his crash, I think.

  • @sudoLinux666 Take a look at his channel, it's got a video on that matter. "Beyond the runway teaser"

  • that was Medically unhealthy

  • excellent footage!! What organisation does he fly with? MAF?

  • i don't believe this.fighter pilot all the way. im subscribing for this takeoff already

  • Pucker factor....10!

  • He flies like one of the bush pilots that I flew with in Alaska. They know what they're doing and they know the limits of the aircraft.

  • This is where the term "Holy Frijolee" comes from

  • Nice take off for this environment. Some operations require this kind of out-of-safety-range flying. I was told by an instructors and examiners that for private pilot, you will have to operate withing safety zone, but for commercial operation you may face the situation where you would like to avoid but you have no choice to accept.

  • Air America comes to mind.

  • Man, you're Dad is a hero...

  • coooooool ! I can do that in Flight simulator X :D !

  • I can't believe there are people out there that do things like this just in a "normal day". What is wrong with my life! And I make multi-million volt Tesla Coils for a living!!!

  • balls of steel.

  • GOOD EXAMPLE OF SHORT FIELD TAKE OFF!!

  • H.M Murdoc?

  • Haha just like James Bond

  • c182 is a nice plane i guess

  • I WILL CALL IT "INSANE TAKE OFF"

  • Que sufoco p levatar

  • My Left Ear :(

  • @AirbusJuice Hi. I am private pilot. I analized this video and 0.2 seconds after taking off you can see the shadow of the plane on the trees just before he started turning to the left. This means that he was VERY VERY VERY close... hahahah

  • yeah but can he do with it with a tailwind and overgross? j/k textbook - very nice

  • yeah but can he do with it with a tailwind? j/k textbook very nice

  • HE DID IT RIGHT: He got his speed and RPM's way up during his turn & run and he didn't pull up hard when he left the ground. He hovered a bit toward the end of the runway until his airspeed was over 100 knots which enabled him to pull up and do the turn. After he cleared the ground he didn't pull up right away... he gained airspeed. Thats the trick and a show of a good pilot.

  • Perfect execution of a soft field takeoff...

  • i read some articles that this pilot has some how disspeared in the jungles of Venezuela in 2009..hope he is still alive

  • @xazns0ulx He probably got hired by drug smugglers.

  • Something most viewers probably aren't taking into account is the compression you get when you zoom in with any camera, the trees aren't quite as close as they look in this video, he had a little more room to spare than it appears. He also knows exactly what he's doing. Nice example of a soft field/short field takeoff where you couldn't have much more working against you.

  • @flyurway Seems like a great soft field, but why would he turn like that on takeoff and increase the load factor unnecessarily in such a vital stage of takeoff? Seems like that would be putting himself, passengers, and or people/property at greater risk unnecessarily. Obviosly this guy is good and he knows his shiz im just saying hes not flawless or 100% as safe as possible.

  • @TheFr3sh1 Au contrare. If you expand the description under the video he explains the what/why/where's of this takeoff. I'd say he IS being as 100% safe as possible - people like this don't screw around. As he states, he turns between the trees for terrain avoidance and as I stated, the compression effect you get from camera zoom gives you the impression he's turning/climbing much harder than he actually is. I stand by my statement, he's doing this exactly they way he has to, no more, no less!

  • JESUS...

  • thats why people die in aviation

  • 6 people don't know what an airplane is

  • First of all, flap at 20 degrees, second, don't over compensate and bank too hard or the angle of attack will sharply decrease and you'll lose you're lift. Also, be commited to the climb and don't second guess yourself or you'll make some dumb mistakes.

  • Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Amazing what passes as a runway these days!

  • Pilot did a short field take-off, get the plane off the ground, fly it in ground effect, build up all the speed you can, and use your forward inertia to help launch you up above the obstacle. An extreme, yet classic example. Very well done!

  • It's called committed :)

  • plane also mows the grass

  • I'll do anything to get Airborne too.

  • UFB.

  • The search for Bob Norton and the others continues. You can follow the search team's progress at our website at: findingbobnorton. org

  • can't just pin "weight" on a takeoff when the environment plays an equally important role. with a high DA, a really hot day, a shitty airstrip, and no wind, an 80 lb. teenager piloting a J-3 cub with a gallon of gas in it can make it look like it's carrying a volkswagon beetle on its back. If this guy WAS loaded to max gross, he did the right thing, he's got experience and he's flying another day. Don't cut the man down.

    Cheers

  • C182 is a good bird.

    @TheBrooksteer , I don't know how you can tell if he's overweight just by this takeoff. everything is working against him:

    1. muddy/ flooded strip = drag.

    2. Soft Field takeoff technique = pulling her up into ground effect, every plane loafs during these takeoffs at first - completely normal

    3. "he didnt pull up until he was way too close to the trees"... that's because he was gaining speed in ground effect, like you're supposed to. Speed converts to altitude, and vice versa

  • why is my pant wet?

  • fucking idiot with such a low airspeed and angle of bank his so lucky he didnt stall it.

  • @auriga9999 not "lucky" it's called "knowledge" ;) Guy obviously knows what he's doing.

  • @auriga9999 It's amazing how ignorant your comment is on several levels.

  • @auriga9999 Idiot? I doubt it! Lucky? Hardly. It's someone that knows exactly what he's doing!

  • ... " Most the time I can get all the way up to 65 MPH and that is 5 mph over stall " ...

    I think you might mean knots instead of "MPH" ...

  • Is that the weekly flight out of the villiage of Frijol?

  • "ok captain, engine failure after takeoff briefing.

    if we have an engine failure after takeoff we can crash and die

    engine failure after takeoff briefing complete"

  • @sssoaring2 more like "just aim between the trees"

  • @boobyboob69 I like looking at all the interesting usernames on the world wide web of youtube.............

  • @sssoaring2 ROFL

  • @sssoaring2 Not everyone dies. In 1988, My parents had an engine quit on takeoff and they were about 250 feet off the ground. They both lived and still fly today, though in a Cessna, not Piper.

  • @jallenmorris1 Yes sir, i am aware of that and i do have a great respect to pilots. Having been trained for such events, i can just aobut imagine the sheer terror in this case. It was a mere satirical comment and i do not wish to impose any emotional harm upon anyone.

    If an engine does fail on someone though, i would hope as hell the person lives to tell the story to their grand children.

  • Is this a drug run?

  • cool! where is that?

  • He did a good job, pretty tight left hand turn though.

  • margin for error -- zero!

  • I like turtles!

  • I like turles!

  • That plane was full of cocaine...

  • What's the elevation of this field?

  • What do you think he did? Short field or soft field t/o? It looks like he did a short field without holding the breaks at the beginning. I am saying this because a soft field requires the pilot to pull their aileron back at the start of the take off, but you can see that his elevator was level on his run.

    It would be awesome to fly in this kind of terrain.. Jealous.

  • @MrJasonpark86 No, look at the elevator carefully. Pilot had the yoke in his lap. STUDENT PILOTS TAKE NOTE: THIS IS A TEXTBOOK EXAMPLE OF A SOFT FIELD TAKE OFF. EXAMPLES DO NOT GET BETTE THAN THIS. Most shot fields will be soft and vice versa.

  • @Sukhoi27K He didn't pull up until he was way too close to the trees. The elevator was not in his lap until the actual hard pull up. Looked like he might have been over weight. At least he started the take off roll with flaps (20 degrees?). Without flaps, he would have been in the trees...

  • @TheBrooksteer - pulling up too early induces drag and increases ground roll. He had plenty of energy when he got to the trees otherwise he wouldn't have been able to bank/climb like that. Looks like fun!

  • This is how cocaine gets pumped in to the US by the kilo.

  • Wow, excellent, did anyone else notice a hint of moistness on the runway? :P

  • I do that all day.... on my iphone. lol Great pilot

  • im sorry but if u dont have an helicopter i will just b staying there indefinitely

  • No, he's just putting on a show. Lift-off would be very near best-angle speed and the abrupt pull-up would be a huge risk at 5 mph above stall. But nice water splashes on the roll.

  • I dont see what the big stink is, I do this all the time in the R44 ;)

  • @tom201090 wrote, "how d u know [this pilot is now deceased]?"

    Check in the "Uploader Comments" section of the video entitled "Amazing take off!!!" also uploaded by enorton25 (who uploaded this video).

    My comment is not a dump on pilot, this flying is inherently extremely dangerous and whatever happened may have had nothing to do with pilot error. Even if there was pilot error it might have been the variety that is inherent in this type of flying and unfortunately pilot came up short this time.

  • Is it jeep or plane? O.O

    

  • breathtakin takeoff :o

  • Looks like fun! Where do I sign up?

  • ...and they say jets are exciting.

  • mierda!

  • Nice Takeoff! The landing video is Sick too. That's the type of flying I want to do and hope to do in the near future. Best wishes to you and your dad.

  • @hawks9921

    This pilot is dead.

    Departed for a bush flight one day and never returned.

    Neither pilot nor plane ever found.

  • @ForTheDefence78 how do u know

  • Comment removed

  • @hawks9921

    That was 2+ years ago.

    Available details (few) listed on another video posted by this same poster.

  • Very cool, you're dad seems like a good pilot!

  • Nice Take off. =))

  • wish I could get my soft and short fields to look that good on a paved runway! nice job!

  • what happened to holding brakes and applying power to full?  And that aircraft did not have much weight onboard or that kind of turn after takeoff would of been impossible..

  • @Kopihucky you would apply full power on brakes only while doing a short field, not usually soft field. the whole point of soft field is you dont want the tires to sink in so you never wanna bring the aircraft to a stop.

  • @SlipknotKoRnfan right, thanks for education

  • @Kopihucky - Holding power, etc. is for a SHORT field....not for a field that is both short and SOFT (mud). WHen you hold the brakes like that, the airplane wheels could get dug down into the mud and the airplane could remain stuck there when you release brakes. Its recommended that you keep the plane moving at all times on a soft field takeoff.

  • @Kopihucky its a soft field. 

  • muito filé....gostei da decolagem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • were is that at? is there an airport code for it?

  • Well I think that plane must have been quite heavy, considering the weight of the pilot's balls....

  • @Outermarker01

    or the cocain

  • @Outermarker01 hahahhah very nice!!!

  • @Outermarker01 haha yeah what a freakin bank

  • @Outermarker01 Yea he took off overweight..

  • @Outermarker01 lol i done shit like this before, eastern seattle, landing up-hill takeing off cliffs in sierra leone and so on..., still nice take off

  • He have muchos cojones,well done take off

  • I am a commercial airline pilot who has been flying most of my life. I've flown cessna's, gliders, to large jets. I can tell just by the way that guy was blasting down the runway, he knew what the heck he was doing! This kindof flying is what pilots call "real flying" of which I have the utmost respect. It takes courage to launch from a grass runway with puddles, mud, potholes, trees and rising terrain at the end of the runway with a fully loaded single engine cessna.

  • I want to be a pilot someday,but man your dad is a pro thanks for the upload....

  • eu admiro essas coisas!!! muito bom

  • you have to be proud of your dad, he was a great pilot and spent his time serving the lord.

  • my DREAM job

  • impressive takeoff!!

  • well done. Better pray to God that he doesn't get engine trouble one day.

  • @klausbmj He did bro and crashed with his wife..the plane was never found :(

  • Very nice...your dad is a great pilot!!

  • Awesome soft field take off, by the books.

  • Dude, your dad is awesome

  • Umm, dude there goes your ride.

  • A trowel? Gee how manly, hey bud...go find some dirt, or go land on a beach...live a little!!! Geez.

  • What the hell are you guys taking about, have you ever flown an aircraft ?? I do.

  • That's insane. I'd be out there with a trowel trying to smooth out that runway as much as possible. Maybe lengthen the uphill end of the runway a few feet every time I was there. Try and make the takeoff a little less hairy, if possible. Great vid!

  • @localcrew Forget it. The natives spend their days eating bugs, smoking gange, and killing annoying christian missionaries.

  • @madisonelectronic Yeah, me too.

  • yup,, that is wild lol

  • That's insane!!!!!

  • celui ki di kil naime pas ce decollage, il ne connait rien en pilotage!car le pilote pouvait bien decoller, bien avant la fin de la piste, mais il a mis le paquet pr gagner le plus de vitesse, et des kil a pris a peine 10 pieds du sol, il vire a gauche, avec une inclinaison ki depasse a mon avis les 45 degres. Bravo pr ce decollage!

  • @prisma551 Tu as raison. Le gars est resté dans l'effet de sol, pour gagner de la vitesse, avant de commencer la montée et de virer à gauche pour eviter les obstacles en fin de piste.

  • @THESKYMASTER Merci pour la reponse,e t c' l'effet de sol ki è le vrai terme! je ss un mordu de la simulation, et j'ai acquis bcp de notion rien kavec ca! c' fabuleux et daprè mon ami(commandant sur 737, 34 ans et 9000 h de vol, si javais 30ans de moins, je serai un veritable pilote. c'est la chose ki me fascine le +! j'ai tt l'ekipement de simulation a la maison, et je vè commencer tre prochainmen a telecharger mè videos, ke je trouv souven nettemen + reussis kke pleins d'otre.Bonne journee

  • Ha Ha That was fantastic. It's Mr. Toad's wild ride with wings.

  • Nice job not buying the farm there. That's one hell of a risk just to bring some free medicine into a remote village. All it takes is a 10 mph tailwind to really screw up your day in a situation such as this.

  • thank you to your father for what he does, and must say, DAMN hes got some balls, that is a one shot takeoff. its committing to go, cause if not fast enough, then you will die. cause not enough time to stop either. your father has skill. ALOT of skill

  • Are you into flying too, like your dad?

  • He would've lifted earlier... but his massive balls added alot of weight...

  • Is that 182 a turbo? Regardless ... nice flying!

  • I think I'd try that one a few times without the trees first!!! (Assuming he did. Great takeoff.)

  • trees.. trees!!.. TREES!!! lol

  • Comment removed

  • nice shortfield skills

  • Holy crap, I bet he shit himself after he realized he nearly died.

  • now THAT is called commitment lol

  • wow, thats like in Indiana Jones.

  • that was close! Doesen´t have a Cessna more power to climb steeper?

  • Typically yeah, much more of a climb out rate but seeing as how remote the airport is and the village, he was probably super loaded with supplies and such like that. Therefore longer time to get up quicker.

  • @Musterhund since it was a short/soft field, he had to put the cessna into ground effect...that is where he flies straight down the runway and speeds up to get a faster and steeper climb..he did a great job

  • @LittleDrummer55 Great job huh? Mind explaining why his nose wheel was on the ground until rotation? You are an idiot just like this pilot.

  • @gypsykingg The idiot here is you. Obviously not a pilot except in your sim dreams. Why would the nose gear not be in the ground until rotation? Moron. Rotation is defined by the nose gear coming off the ground you flipping idiot. Stick to your sims.

  • @PhrynosomaTexas Hmm really.. Well this "sim" pilot knows a lot more about soft field takeoffs than yourself. You might want to review soft field takeoff procedures, moron.

  • @gypsykingg Hmmm, really? Well seeing as how I had a short grass strip in my fucking back yard outside of Houston you retard, I kinda DOUBT IT. There I flew a Fisher Super Koala in and out of a 200 yard strip bracketed by cattle fence, with 80ft pines and a lake at the west threshold, and houses and pines to the east. Now tell me again what the fuck you know of short field? LOL Retard. Answer me this - how does someone rotate an aircraft and still keep the nose wheel on the ground???

  • @gypsykingg further, he was rotated before he passed the camera & cleared the ground just after. Any attempt to rotate before that would have increased AoA and drag and made likely NOT making it out of this field. Your method would have led to inefficient gain of airspeed for a C182 to make it out of here. This pilot obtained maximum speed, stayed in ground effect with low AoA and converted that energy into lift at the end to clear obstacles. I'm sure you could have done it better though. LOL

  • @PhrynosomaTexas Seeing that that is a tail dragger, your soft field takeoffs will be completely different. You want to get the nose gear off asap, keep it there until the mains are in the air, keep in ground effect and accelerate to Vx then climb out at Vx to clear the obstacle. You are a dumb puddle jumper who has never flown a real aircraft. Go fuck yourself kid, you know nothing of flying. And I don't know any pilot who measures in yards. You are a dumb ass.

  • @gypsykingg Of course it's a tail dragger, and it's not the only plane I've flown numbnuts. The dumbass here is you, who thinks he could have gotten a nose wheel off any faster, and doesn't have a fucking clue what a "rotation" is. I have asked you once, oh great sim pilot, tell me how one rotates an aircraft while keeping the nose gear on the ground? You think this pilot was stupid in keeping the nose gear down until rotation, indicating clearly you don't know what the fuck a rotation IS.
