It was not an emergency landing. This happened during a training excercise where the scenario was a ship got hijacked by pirated and they had to deploy a rapid intervention team to take control of the team and neutralize the pirates. The helicopter landed with a tail wheel on the safety net on the side of the ship because the pilot misinterpreted a signal from the ground operator. Then he got radioed "full power" because the controller didn't saw the trapped wheel and it tumbled over.
well that was part of it.. when the rear wheels got stuck in the heo net and the pilot nor crewmembers not did the L.S.E. notice it (maybe he did) But the pilot made the fatal error of adding additional lift power causing it to flip over backwards. since this accident it has been reviewed many times and the pilots now know it is better just to sit it down and accept the minor damages and not wreck the aircraft.
this is or was not an evergency landing. the problem is that the pilot did not realize that his rear tires were hung up on the helo nets and when he added power it flipped over killing all 11 on board.
Actually, the helicopter getting stuck on the safety railing was one thing, but it wasn't the wind that pulled the chopper over the deck. Had the pilot shoved full right cyclic (stick) the chopper would have settled on the deck and held with the ship moving. Looks to me like he tried to put left stick and some collective to dislodge himself but he got what's called "dynamic rollover", where the point of lift passed the gravity point and it instead pulls the chopper over. I remember from school.
When we landed these choppers we always had a landing officer to indicate correct height approach to the pilot. The pilot obviously caught the safety net with the landing gear. Either the pilot ignored landing signals or the deck crew did not do their job. Landing a chopper on a moving vessel is one difficult task.
Those "Safety Boats" are actually SWCC operators (Special Forces) waiting to get hoisted on the ship. Luckily they were there to save as many marines as they did. Tragically they couldn't get them all.
@hammerogod I don't think it would be a case of the ship's screws making "pizza topping" out of you. They would be pushing you away from them, not sucking you in.
However, the extremely choppy water caused by the propellers and the ship's movement through the water would make it almost impossible to keep your head above water.
Possible explanation - left half of the rotors were over water, the right half over the deck. So the right half of the rotors were operating in ground effect. This caused the helicopter to bank left. The pilot failed to correct it in time.
Best explanation - left half of the rotors were over water, the right half over the deck. So the right half of the rotors were operating in ground effect. This caused the helicopter to bank left. The pilot failed to correct it in time.
At the time of the accident, the U.S. Marine Corps CH-46 was performing a shipboard assault with recon squads on-board. Although winds were only 3 knots. It wasn't the standard approach procedure for landing aboard ship. The operational tempo was high. So was the stress.
Naval aviation is a dangerous business. Anyone who's ever participated knows that even the best aviators make mistakes. If you've never screwed up (badly) in an airplane or helo, you've never flown a REAL aircraft.
@Dorisequador he doent suck! if you watched closely his back wheel got cought and a gust of wind pushed him back. and if you had ANY expierence with any aircraft (real or sim, not ps3) you would know that wind can fuck you over and sometimes you cant do shit about it.
@Dorisequador even pro navy pilots can have a bad landing/approach but that crash was not pilot error, he came in in windy conditions and had to fight it onto the deck and after which the winds pushed him off. also, what expierence do you have? and ps3 flying doesnt count.
@piloty5 na that's why you're a computer pilot and not a real pilot, real life don't work like you just described coz if it did we'd have a bunch of fucking morons crashing on windy days
This video has been around forever. It WASN'T an emergency landing as the title implys. This was what is called a no hover approach to touch down. Extremely stupid with pax on board. If they were over HIGE weight, they should have reduced weight, not need a no hover landing. There was nothing mechanically wrong with the aircraft prior to the left main mount getting hooked under the life net. When the PAC increased collective the helo entered rollover conditions.
@robertstojs It was nobody BUT the pilot's fault. His approach was far too fast, and too low. He tried to recover by adding collective, and there wasn't enough power available with the load he was carrying. This was a case of poor flying and only poor flying, and it had nothing to do with mechanical failure until AFTER the genius flew them into the back of the ship.
Mr Elequentum, by the way you sound, you should be the "IDIOT" i this story. I was a naval aircrewman for 20 years and as crewmen we train to come out of this type of accidents, and we do succeed in most cases, depending on the conditions surrounding the crash. In this one were some troops that did not train on how to get out of sinking aircrafts.
After crash landing, the aircraft turns upside down, increasing the disorientation and the confusion on what to do gets compounded by darkness.
I actually looked this up. It's from a training exercise in 1999. There were 18 people on board. 11 of them were rescued, 7 drowned. Their bodies were later recovered.
thats corrct a guy i use to work with his brother was on that helicopter lt craig dame, the turbine didnt shut off like its supossed too when it gets flipped upside down sucked em staright down to the bottom
@jerhmmmm what? are you blind or retarded? even the dumbest dumbfuck could tell that the pilot approached the ship way too fast. and wind is no excuse. it's fucking windy on the ocean, period, you can't be a pilot if you can't handle that. but wind had nothing to do with, it was just a douche who wanted to show off that resulted in people dying.
@aseglkj Yeah i know ok ok ok sorry But dude look at it he can land it just a tiny bit, did you see that the wind being blown by the chopper forced it to douche in the tha water...
@aseglkj Clearly you're someone who isn't a Warrant Officer or has ever been in the military. You don't "show off" when you're piloting a $14 million dollar machine owned by the Government. You aren't allowed to, plain and simple. He made a mistake. It happens.
@seanwilliams78 Youre correct, however 'hotdogging' does happen and people die from it sometimes. I have been in the service over 20 years and have 3 airframes under my belt. have seen warrants and comissioned officers alike show off. In most cases no harm no foul except for the poor crewcheifs that have to do the inspections/or repairs the bird. In other cases that ACFT becomes a yard dart and people die. In this video I seriously doubt he was 'showing off', just had a bad situation get worse.
@jerhmmmm it wasnt the wind, watch when hes landing the back wheel on the far side gets caught on the metal shit thats around the deck, he tried pulling up but since it was caught it pulled it down. bad quality video
@jerhmmmm r u kidding me? because of wind? look at a) the water and b) the smoke/steam after the heli crashes... there are no waves and the smoke is stationary... so there is no wind... the back port wheel gets caught in the fence at 0:26 which causes the crash. not the wind.
@RyGuy5320 Yes i do have lack of faith, you dont know what the yanks done to us brits in the second world war on the d-day assault, your dam boomers dropped the bombs in a totally wrong location and ended up bombing us instead. Fucking idiots, they deserve what they get and whatever there is left to come to them.
@miniarma dude, that was a long time ago. a lot has changed since then. The people in this chopper aren't related in any way to what happened then.
A better example is when some pilots from the states dropped bombs on canadians in the middle east while they were on a training exercise, because they thought that the gunfire on the ground was directed at them. I blame less the pilots for that, and more whoever was supposed to furnish them with intel before the flight.
@RyGuy5320 ow and to add to it, your radar operators thought the northern lights were fucking missles from russia and where 3 minutes away from lauching a nuclear attack. Then we had to send our brits to sort you guys out and show you how to use a radar system. ¬¬ sigh, god may you really bless america and sort them nutters out.
America (outside of certain places like Berkeley) still backs its military. I can't say the same thing about the average Brit's (or their Government's) commitment to his/her defenders. Brtiish forces in Afghanistan have to rely on those supposedly incompetent U.S. pilots and planes for ground support, because the RAF practically doesn't exist for them
@baraxor the USA spends more money on the military than the rest of the world combined. If that is good or bad depends on your opinion on the importance of war-readyness and your country's role in foreign disputes.
of course the british forces in afghanistan have to rely on US forces. Most of the world was dragged into those wars by the USA, they didnt want to be there. They're going to supply the bare minimum.
The British--and NATO forces in general--have to rely on Uncle Sam for air-support and air mobility. This has been a common thread since the progressives in Western Europe and Canada realized that it's easier to maintain power by giving more benefits to an apathetic electorate than by funding their own protection.
@miniarma There are some mistakes in the U.S. military, yes, but don't you try to tell me that the British military is perfect. There are flaws in everything, you just have to look.
My praryers are with them and there familys. But hopfully the boats right next to them picked them up or used those emergancy air things they have. I hope they survived
I dont know if it was an emergency landing or not. But what it looked like was a hurried landing. Way to fast approach speed and too shallow. A cocky landing gone bad maybe?
I can't believe the people that jump all over pilots when there is a crash. These guys (and girls) are flying machines made out of metal! It is there skill and professionalism that is the reason why there aren't aircraft dropping out of the sky left right and center every day! Not exactly a risk free occupation.
So2marod how come we see about the same amount of crashes from both countries military aircraft migs and sus andstuf like that are cool in looks but not proformance we Americans see way less crashes from our leeding air supiriority fighters than yours there once was an f-15 and on a diferent ocasion f-18 that flew back to bass after mid air colisions causing parts of the wings to be separated from the planes
I worked on USS Decatur's flight deck for 3 years working on the helo crash and smash team. This was a pilot trying to be slick. This same thing almost happened on board Decatur but the wheel broke free and the pilot was dealing with rough winds and seas, not coming in low and fast and not coming in high and slow and dropping down like everybody else.

@jerhmmmm what? are you blind or retarded? even the dumbest dumbfuck could tell that the pilot approached the ship way too fast. and wind is no excuse. it's fucking windy on the ocean, period, you can't be a pilot if you can't handle that. but wind had nothing to do with, it was just a douche who wanted to show off that resulted in people dying.

@aseglkj Yeah i know ok ok ok sorry But dude look at it he can land it just a tiny bit, did you see that the wind being blown by the chopper forced it to douche in the tha water...

@aseglkj Clearly you're someone who isn't a Warrant Officer or has ever been in the military. You don't "show off" when you're piloting a $14 million dollar machine owned by the Government. You aren't allowed to, plain and simple. He made a mistake. It happens.

@seanwilliams78 Youre correct, however 'hotdogging' does happen and people die from it sometimes. I have been in the service over 20 years and have 3 airframes under my belt. have seen warrants and comissioned officers alike show off. In most cases no harm no foul except for the poor crewcheifs that have to do the inspections/or repairs the bird. In other cases that ACFT becomes a yard dart and people die. In this video I seriously doubt he was 'showing off', just had a bad situation get worse.

@jerhmmmm it wasnt the wind, watch when hes landing the back wheel on the far side gets caught on the metal shit thats around the deck, he tried pulling up but since it was caught it pulled it down. bad quality video

@jerhmmmm r u kidding me? because of wind? look at a) the water and b) the smoke/steam after the heli crashes... there are no waves and the smoke is stationary... so there is no wind... the back port wheel gets caught in the fence at 0:26 which causes the crash. not the wind.

@miniarma I find your lack of faith in the intelligence of Americans disturbing.

@RyGuy5320 Yes i do have lack of faith, you dont know what the yanks done to us brits in the second world war on the d-day assault, your dam boomers dropped the bombs in a totally wrong location and ended up bombing us instead. Fucking idiots, they deserve what they get and whatever there is left to come to them.

@miniarma dude, that was a long time ago. a lot has changed since then. The people in this chopper aren't related in any way to what happened then.
A better example is when some pilots from the states dropped bombs on canadians in the middle east while they were on a training exercise, because they thought that the gunfire on the ground was directed at them. I blame less the pilots for that, and more whoever was supposed to furnish them with intel before the flight.

@RyGuy5320 ow and to add to it, your radar operators thought the northern lights were fucking missles from russia and where 3 minutes away from lauching a nuclear attack. Then we had to send our brits to sort you guys out and show you how to use a radar system. ¬¬ sigh, god may you really bless america and sort them nutters out.

America (outside of certain places like Berkeley) still backs its military. I can't say the same thing about the average Brit's (or their Government's) commitment to his/her defenders. Brtiish forces in Afghanistan have to rely on those supposedly incompetent U.S. pilots and planes for ground support, because the RAF practically doesn't exist for them

"America" is the common shorthand name of the United States of America, just as the term "Americans" describes its inhabitants. Dirtbag.

@baraxor the USA spends more money on the military than the rest of the world combined. If that is good or bad depends on your opinion on the importance of war-readyness and your country's role in foreign disputes.
of course the british forces in afghanistan have to rely on US forces. Most of the world was dragged into those wars by the USA, they didnt want to be there. They're going to supply the bare minimum.

@isays
The British--and NATO forces in general--have to rely on Uncle Sam for air-support and air mobility. This has been a common thread since the progressives in Western Europe and Canada realized that it's easier to maintain power by giving more benefits to an apathetic electorate than by funding their own protection.

@miniarma There are some mistakes in the U.S. military, yes, but don't you try to tell me that the British military is perfect. There are flaws in everything, you just have to look.

I dont know if it was an emergency landing or not. But what it looked like was a hurried landing. Way to fast approach speed and too shallow. A cocky landing gone bad maybe?

I can't believe the people that jump all over pilots when there is a crash. These guys (and girls) are flying machines made out of metal! It is there skill and professionalism that is the reason why there aren't aircraft dropping out of the sky left right and center every day! Not exactly a risk free occupation.

So2marod how come we see about the same amount of crashes from both countries military aircraft migs and sus andstuf like that are cool in looks but not proformance we Americans see way less crashes from our leeding air supiriority fighters than yours there once was an f-15 and on a diferent ocasion f-18 that flew back to bass after mid air colisions causing parts of the wings to be separated from the planes

I worked on USS Decatur's flight deck for 3 years working on the helo crash and smash team. This was a pilot trying to be slick. This same thing almost happened on board Decatur but the wheel broke free and the pilot was dealing with rough winds and seas, not coming in low and fast and not coming in high and slow and dropping down like everybody else.
