  • That was just stupid stupid stupid... I would've gone around long before you even crossed that threshold.

  • Fast landing, otherwise not bad at all.

  • go around....

  • whoa!

  • ....and kinda hard to see with shakey cam and all, but.... you also appeared a bit high. yes, saw the trees but again, res on this is grainy, and can't see good enough to determine if your height was correct glide path to compensate for Obstacles on approach end. sorta looked the opposite: you were high. which necessitated a "dive" at last second down to the numbers, then, a "float" to bleed your excess speed, most of the runway. never good, when you go into the Chevron's! lol!

  • You have got to be pretty despaired to do that.

  • I was just gonna say "how is this a bad landing?" Then the camera started shaking like Michael J. Fox

  • Lol I bet at least half the people talking trash on here are flight simmers and the rest have done equally as bad in real life themselves but kept it well hidden, and aren't admitting it so they can big themselves up :o) You did right to post this ;o)

  • this is the clear result of approaching to an airport and been scared even worst be the pilot in command

  • Would you like a cherry with that float?

    For sale: One cherokee seat. Slightly stained.

    When you're told to aim for the numbers, it's the ones on the APPROACH end.

    I think you lost a few heat shields on re-entry.

    Drop anchor! Drop anchor!!

    I agree with you. Go-arounds are WAY overrated.

    I just saw your whole life flash before my eyes.

    I think you did that airport a favor; that part of the runway hadn't been used in years!

    GA aircraft now arriving at gate three..gate four..g

  • Lol! wow. (sorry, still chuckling!) Ok. look. yeah, i read a lot of the other comments. not going to attack or say something ignorant or cruel. yup. pretty crazy 'set-down' there pal. waaayyy to high, not sure about airspeed, cause couldn't clearly see your indicator, but, i'll take your word for it. looks like you finally got wheel's down at latter 2/3's of this strip. Length? then, onto the Chevrons', !! oh boy! exciting huh? Go around would have been the call for sure

  • Thanks for sharing.

  • and too much speed...this runway is pretty significantly down hill...you have to have your speed right and push that nose down all the way to flare. Agree, if not rolling on the first third, go around...especially with a down hiller...

    I did my primary training using long runways...bad habit to settle into carrying too much speed and pushing your touchdown target down the runway.

  • Wow, that was scary. I'm glad you got down safe, and learned a little from this.

  • No Cross wind correction at all, why if your not landing in the first 1/3 of the runway GO AROUND and technically, he did over run the runway!!!

  • this kinda looks like a 172 what is it?

  • What caused the excessive vibrations after the landing? Was it due to the propeller acting as a brake?

  • @XmegaPresident Probably locking up the brakes.

  • when did this plane land, why did it take so long?

  • what landing?

    opps landed.

  • My god, it's like the never ending flare that will kill you. This should have been a go around but thank you for posting it. D:

  • thats the first time ive ever seen a plane use the overrun zone

  • oh crap...the whole time i was saying floating..floating..floating..­.go-around!!! Go around!!! Go around!!! LoL

  • Its amazing how far just a touch of throttle can carry you down the runway. Ive been caught out once or twice where I think ive cut the throttle completely but the plane just wont touch down, then my instructor tells me I still have the throttle open just 1cm :)

  • =) hmm not good on your nice plane my friend :/.

  • LOL, obviously too high and with a bad crosswind, what was he thinking. Oh and you're lucky the runway wasn't wet or something.

  • LOL you stalled into the end of the runway but that was cool.

  • Hey man! I don't know if you use this frase up there, but down here in Argentina we say...No landing is a bad landing if you can walk away from the plane harmles, Good landing...but next time don't be afraid of doing a go around, that will be much secure

  • A go around would have been the better option, but damn that plane has good breaks!

  • add to that list how you were fiddling with the camera the whole time 2 hahahaJKJK

    at at latest 1:47 your brain should have clicked "toga , go around full throttle carb heat cold" at least thats what i think

  • no offense but come on, have u ever gone around before its not a big deal...rolling off the end of the runway kinda is lol

  • looks like something i would do in fsx lol

  • I can tell this pilot needs a little more training. Who continues to land after being in ground effect for over two-thirds of the runway.

  • Air my home airport you would have gone through a fence, across a road and then onto some railroad tracks.

  • LOL

    Oops!

  • wtf....go around dude. totally half-ass pilot

  • it'd be good if you had reverse thrust!!!! but its a turboprop

  • @ADAM6145 It's a piston engine, turboprops do have reverse thrust... and still a go around would have been necessary... and using reverse thrust under 60knots is not advisable because of the damage it might cause to the prop... (he was under stall speed ca.~65-70knots when he finally "went down".)

  • @Szab0729 Thanks

  • lucky man...

  • you know not every runway has displaced threshold and over run area, just remember that.

  • Comment removed

  • Man you should have went around.

  • Go... Around...

  • Definitely something to show students. A real good lesson in the "go-around" and why they are required practice. Hopefully whoever performed this got a good scare and learned a lesson from it. It will be one of those moments that he/she learns from and carries with them the rest of their flying career.

    Thanks for posting it. We all know that they aren't all pretty.

  • hahahahaha

  • No bad landing...just bad approach...and kudos for the pilot posting this. Great lesson for us to learn from. A go around was definitely called for but this posting might save someone's life...certainly a mistake to learn from. Thank God for giving mercy for days like this :)

  • well you know the saying: any landing you walk away from is a good landing

  • Hey!!! next time try to do slow flight above 1,500 AGL not when u are landing. Oh and by the way if you had had more runway it would have been a perfect landing with the stall horn on.

  • Shit man......We all have days like that.

  • OMG..so scary...that was just like 2 metres away from the end of the runway.!

  • is added to my DO NOT try at home list

  • Next time try with less speed :p And maybe try "Go around" and give it a new try ;)

  • I'm hoping this was a video from training. I wish I had videos from when I was learning how to land. I'd have some real scary stuff for you all if I did.

    That's a great lesson right there for any fresh student pilot.

  • To high to fast, also, you waited to long to get it on the ground.

  • damn son!.....i would never fly wid that guy!

  • @stignatiousstigy I would... he sure as hell won't do that again! ;-)

  • GO AROUND!!!!!

  • 1) I'm glad you are alive

    2) I am glad you posted this video on youtube

    3) Be careful of tunnel vision!

  • just remember...you can always go around!

  • Wtf, why didnt he go around, he could have damaged the aircraft if the brakes failed. Bad Practice in my opinion!

  • Wow, what an adrenaline rush u must have had

  • two word GO AROUND

  • And he still has a license after that landing?

  • too fast on the approach*

  • Some learn the hard way, this is one and lucky to be alive to tell the tale!

    Way too high and too far on approach and crossing the threshold.

    If you don't land 1/3 of the runway, go around. Not "just" before the numbers at the other end! lol

  • You are a lucky dog!!! That was an obvious go around from the start. You crossed the threshold high and way too fast. You are very fortunate.

  • it is easy to comment when you are in your sofa. I am pretty sure you all have a beer in one hand and bag of crips in the other

  • This is almost the worst landing I've ever seen--aside from those that end in death. If you can't assure touchdown on the first one-third of the runway, just GO AROUND. You landed damn near the END of the LAST third of the runway! I can't believe the description you have for this video either. It keeps getting worse and worse; I half expected to see "license revoked permanently" at the end. I'm guessing this was quite a learning experience for you!

  • The landing itself wasnt bad. Good think those brakes work, shook the hell outta the plane I bet.

  • Hit the TOGA button! (For bigger birds).

  • LOL, should ov gone around, that was unbelievably overshot + i heard the stall warning sounding off seconds before touchdown, what the hell was you doing lol.

  • you kinda overhsot the runway..usually in ground school you learn what to do f you mis an apporach..obviously you didnt take that lesson into consideration

  • pretty stupid not to go around here...

  • Actually the landing is not half bad, centered on the runway, tracking straight, and you're flaring through the stall. Just fine.

    The APPROACH is the screwed up part. Go out and work a lot more on your final approach speed, altitude, and sight picture. Get a real good flight instructor to set up with some general guidelines to go by, your landings will be tons better with much better approaches.

  • Go around, maybe?

  • holy crap! That was very about as close to dying as you can get. Nice job not killing yourself. We can all learn from your mistake, Darwin award please.

  • lol...im 17...i have about 44 hours...so my opinion should be easily questioned but...why didn't u go around...? much too high...much too fast...bad approach...of course as i said my opinion is subject to correction....

  • haha what a coincidence, I'm also a 17 year old pilot named Daniel. And yeah, totally obvious in this case to go around.

  • nice, you go up often?

  • If the plane was already full flapped, why didn't the pilot slip in on landing?

  • because the crosswind, you must keep the nose pointing the most possible to the wind, with speed, maybe in my experience he could retract the flaps to force the plane to touch the runway, is a tip very used in the mexican sierra, where i fly, and the conditions in the mountaint are very variants  in the day, you're not sure never how would be for sure, hope to help.

  • sorry, i forgot to say than this comment is for BenHaor, who asked about the full flaps, and dear Kartel55 keep flying, and enjoy it, that;s all about, i have 24 years in the air, and love it more every day, have a great day

    peace

  • The fact that you fly in the Mexican Sierras makes me approach your comment with caution in the first place. In crosswinds, the last thing you ever want is to crab into the wind in a light aircraft to prevent sideloading of the landing gear, which is exactly what you recommend. That's a recipe for blown tires, jacked up gear or worse. "retract the flaps to force the plane to touch the runway," what are you even talking about? Does taking away lift in high density altitude sound safe to you?

  • oh and a tip for next landing like that dont flare all the way down the runway, when you get into ground effect clean the plane it will sink and stay on the ground!

  • holy shit!!! man I am sorry but if I were you I would never post this on youtube. True it is you walked out alive but there is a lack of situational awareness on this app. Hope you keep flying for yourself and only yourself just think about it and please DO NOT play with peoples life......GO AROUND! SLIP! That landing have no other explanation than poor decision making and lack of situational awareness.....

  • FUCK YOU!

  • BLESS YOU! at an age of 27 years you should learn a little bit more about respect ma man! I am just giving my objective point of view and anyways it wasnt even you. So please watch your comments!

  • I would have gone around when I saw I was that high above the numbers.

  • Agreed noox, he should have done a go-around... Way too high and way too fast.... Too many times though, pilots feel the need to get it done, its best just to take another stab at it.

  • Why were you holding off for a nice touchdown?

  • ummm im never flying a plane with you lol.

  • it takes me, a 30 year old fat boy 10 minutes to walk straight up hill to this airport. I have lived below it for the past 24 years and have watched many planes land and take off. I see this and the fatal crash this past week as pilot error. I wish and hope that all who visit this airport will make themselves famillar with this strip before atempting a landing here.

  • I think its safe to say if you end up on the blast pad on a landing, you may have done something wrong much earlier in the approach... like not going around with high alt and excess speed on a short runway...

  • I'm not a pilot or anything, but don't they say, any landing you can walk way from is a good one ?

  • horrible landing ........barely made it........

  • And from what I have counted now...he comes to the treshold at 1:26 and touches down at 1:47 that makes 21 seconds in flare divide it by 3600 and multipli it by his everage speed (that was piper or cessna not sure) 70 maybe? and you will get 750m...That is way too much, that is lenght of our runway and we land there with senecas and 421s...

  • I think, that the best he could do was go-around...Maybe possitive landing would be also better...I know that everyone after the battle is a general but, this was not short-field landing and one could see from that approach angle that he was comming down steep and fast...He learned from his mistake though...

  • i think i would have found the nearest Avis and drove home after that.

  • dangerous.

  • I you can't land in the first one third of the runway,you must go around! Any fool knows that. Next time play it safe and go around.

  • when you cut the throttles on a mid size twin or a turbine as you flare - YOU STOP FLYING. you land. that sucker FALLS out of the sky.

    this was a cessna, and even though we've got a CMEL today - we all started out in cessnas or pipers. and as this guy learned - those damn cessnas just DO NOT want to stop flying. period. you GOTTA go around. my only hope is that this guy learned from his mistake. let's face it - some guys don't learn.

  • wOAH!

  • O.o

    Ever heard of a go-around?

    Please tell me the poster was NOT the pilot.

    When you float 500ft down the runway at 5-10ft. its a good time to throttle up and try it again. Then, the next time, approach properly.

    Any wonder how people are getting their ratings these days.

  • At this time... the guy was a private. With time come's experiences, NOT MAKING EXCUSES but i did along with most other pilot a lot of bad landing, bounce etc... and as you go out into the world and meet and greet you gain alot more experience. The staticists shows that as a pilot gain instrument experience, hes a much better one even if he never fly instrument.

  • I saw the plane list to the left and some vibration on roll-out...did a tire blow? I've only heard that noise after a tire blow. The Cessna 185 I saw that with blew a tire, it came off, wrapped around the axle, locked and ripped the gear out.

  • yea that happened to me on a CAP flight

    i think i tire did blow

  • I fly this plane all the time and that how it reacts along with most of the other...its a shimmy dampener issue. NOT A FLAT. If you think thats bad you should see the others, it happen when rolling out and during the takeoff run and to lessen the vibration you have to pull back on the yoke to relieve the pressure on the nose until a certian speed then it stops.

  • Ah, gotcha. That was my initial reaction after seeing a video of a Cessna 185 landing in Panama and the guy landed hard, burst the tire, seized the wheel, groundlooped it and ripped a gear out. Good to know that not all sounds are the same on all aircraft. The overrun chevrons were a bit spooky, tho.

  • i was talking about when i landed and the tire blew, not this

  • the cessna i fly does this vibration and it dosnt have anything to do with the front tire but like you said and certain speeds it just vibrates the hell out of everything, even after takeoff it continues to shake for acouple of seconds.

  • I think it's the engine vibration marrying with the ground. I have a 414 that does this too.

  • GO AROUND

  • i second that, next time go around.

  • same here D=

  • well done, controled it nicely

  • lol when you are going twice landing speed at at 1/4 runway thats go around time.

  • oopsy! the excess of airspeed is what got u in trouble... u flared for ever man :P... yup, a go-around would've been nice ;)

  • Oh my god!! I would not have made this one public! Gotta work on that landing technique!

  • go around next time

  • Yeh...not too good...lol! A go around would have been in order...you recognized your mistake and it ended ok. try thinkin...go around if things dont look good at first, and when they are good land! the mission is not to land but land safely. Make it a learning experience!

  • get-there-itis much?

  • Shimmy Dampers didnt like it either....

  • next time you might just put yourself into death....this is was just lucky...go around next time dude!

  • wow bad choice for a pilot

  • Ooh My GOD!! Dude why did you not go around!.

    Must say, takes balls to share this vid with us. Cheers.

  • dude u stopped at the threshold of the runway

  • wow, that was risking it to much o_o

  • dude you def should have did a go around what were you doing anyways trying to land with 60 power you floated forever and a day

  • A lot of excuses for this landing man, maybe this approach is a bit hard, but you always can go around and do it again and again and again, a good pilot make good decisions, your safety comes first, take "ALAR" course (approach and landind accident reductions)

  • Next time just go around! That`s not a shame

  • Dude, ever heard of a touchdown zone? First 3rd of the runway, you missed it by a mile... GO AROUND!

  • seems as if you were going pretty fast. you made a good landing, but too far down the runway :)

  • that is scary as hell..... a few more feet and you would have been over the cliff.... why didn't you just go around?

  • You stalled

  • The stall horn usually goes off right before you hit the ground, after your flare.

  • It's all about the angle of attack. It does'nt matter what speed you've got. :)

  • weird look like he was going of the runways lol

  • Hehe, bet you won't do that again! As pilots we're all entitled to one 'scary moment'. You've had yours, learn from it - get the bugger down ;-)

  • u went really far down runway and nearly went off runway

  • no..... really? thanks captain obvious

  • 1. No Crosswind correction.

    2.On a Rwy so small never go for a grease job.

    3. If that airport was in a congested area, I'm pretty sure the FAA would love to have you visit the nearest FSDO.

    Have Fun. Safe Flying. Best thing about flying is when you can live to fly another day.

  • Wait a minute. He did have crosswind correction.

  • what was all those noises?? did you have to pick the pieces along the runway

  • That was ok except that you went for a 'grease job'... that eats runway up very rapidly.

  • EPIC FAIL!!!!

  • Too high, too much airspeed, too much float, plenty of time for a go around. Live to fly another day, bet that won't happen again.

  • fail!!

  • that was ok ... if you ask me ... any landing you walk away from is a good landing ... if you can reuse the plane.... its a great landing ...

  • Put the stick down. You actulally did a low fly by. Put the plane down earlier before you get into troubles. Nevermind the passengers

  • hm go around instead of puting the stick down?

    No downwards corrections when flaring out.

  • usaste toda la pista, llegaste un poco alto, en todo caso una rehusada habría sido bueno y te habría evitado ese susto al final pero estubo muy bueno el aterrizaje

  • Pilots go around for a reason. This is one of them.

  • Ouch! Our maintenance officer would love you! (new tires AGAIN!) I give you credit for posting this one. Now we can all learn from it. Thanks.

  • your about as good as me LOL

  • dude all i could say is great braking action u rock

  • twas a greaser....if only you had had a couple hundred yards left it would be a great landing. Good braking action!

  • Holy hell, go around! That's terrifying. I will cry if I see "any landing you can walk away from..." again. Hear this, new pilots: a good landing is one with a strong margin of safety. If you aren't going to touch down within 200 feet or so of the threshold, GO AROUND.

  • go around?!?

  • To all the young inexperienced pilots out there, if you are in doubt as to whether or not you will be able to land without going off the end of the runway, go around.

  • Looked OK to me---a little long, but no harm done---what the heck.

  • i would marry those brakes

  • go around...yah did a good job stopping it. though. must have been out of your seat standing on those brakes!! lol.

  • hehe, as a pilot i think i would have gone around, but hey, u did a hell of a job getting it slowed down at the end. of course, any landing that you can walk away from is a good one!

  • yer wtf omg

  • Just as amy pilot will say, a good landing is one you walk away from.

  • YEAH>>> WELL, a good landing is also one that won't make my god damn insurance rates go up after I trim the trees with the prop!

  • just don't do that

  • the only thing you got right there was the title.

  • haah

  • It was a good landing....You walked away from it!

  • you almost went into the hole at the end of the runway.
