this is very weird to loose the landing gears like dat coz these are non retractable ones. I think maybe the landings gears went down due to bad maintenance.
@GerSimX so I guess that the hole where the landing gear fitted so perfectly was made just in case an accident exactly like this one would occur. Did you even hear when she said that the front gear " never came down", as if it were able to?
Happened to me once, no big deal or anything, just your typical landing gear falling off while cruising in your personal aircraft and having to land without it. It was a little more interesting for me though cuz the left wing also fell off too and that made it a little hard to control.
@djlegenduk Yea I found out that apparently the plane was made in China I guess that contributed to it. I had it up and flying again with some duc-tape in no time tho
@MoPar7055 so you didn't know that the plane you brought was made in China before you brought it? The gear wouldn't come down? The left wing fell off? And your solution was to duck tape it back on? That's not true is it? If it were there is no way on earth any engineer would have signed it off to go flying, and even if they did no pilot would be stupid or irresponsible enough to take it. What was make, model and registration? Would love to read accident report.
@FightingFalc0n ummm no not really, engine failure my friend had once in a 172sp his prop stoped once he hit 80kts and leveled the nose, i would know i saw him landing. One of the planes i fly has props but theyre too high to ever hit the floor other plane i fly is not a glidder, or a balloon ;)
@dasspr he did shut it down when he touched the ground,
if you think straight atm, he had 1 wheel, i tries to first land on that wheel, with out the engine he would probely stall if he wants to fly in that way. so he turned it of when he felt he hit the ground, the prop just didnt stop in time to prevent hitting the ground.
@modwebby he could of feathered it (not sure if this is a controllable pitch model, looks like it) and it doesnt look feathered at all when he hits it and it stops. Even so at those low speed shutting the engine at the right time will make it stop just before landing
@souljajoeandtheowl do you really think that all he has to do now? buy a new prop? by regulation if you prop strike besides changing the prop the whole engine has to be torn appart and inspected. Its a direct drive, one tiny hit and you can bend everything inside. He had plenty of runway on a pretty damn good engine, he wasnt going to die

Notice how he had the passenger (it may of been a passenger) door ajar before touchdown so that the door would be open, preventing the possibility of the door being bent shut if it was left in the closed position. Smart.
i think the prop was probably wind milling due to the air flow over it tho it must have a clutch system to do that anyone know if its a direct drive to the prop tho a gear box or am i right and theres a clutch system in there to jus a tought but the prop starts stright away wit the engine so thinking back i now think the engine was prob set at ideal
@detlions76 not just the Prop, your looking at a complete tear down of an engine with a prop strike like that. Big dollars for that. I would have cut power, secured the prop and dead stick'd it in. not just doable but easy when your at an airport like that
@HARRYFRIGGINPOTTER1 i think the prop was almost in complete stop before it hits the ground. besides if it was running full rpm's, wouldn't it be broken to pieces, rather than bending the edges?
@dimos47ki7 common sense comment? I think not, as even non pilots know you don’t run full RPM for landing, unless you lose elevator control then you would use your rpm to control your decent. but I didn’t mentioned full RPM. First lesson in flight school in emergency procedures is to cut power and secure prop for a situation such as this. I wasn’t there so I don’t know if the pilot felt he couldn’t make the strip without power. you’d be surprised how well props hold together up to certain rpm’s
@HARRYFRIGGINPOTTER1 yeah "full rpm's" was the wrong term i guess. but in the video it looks like the prop is almost stopped just before it hits the ground.
i don't have any further knowledge so i can't insist on that, maybe you're right ;)
@kieran1990able Most likely the electric motor that provides power for the hydraulic system failed, and the design of the gear prevents it from coming down by itself.
@Tjita1 cesna's manuals say if the emergency (manual) hydraulic pump fails kill power & avionics, reset buses, restore power, etc. and you'll be able to pump the gear down. happened to me in a 206 in the past and i was about to set her down but I remembered reading that way back and saved the plane.
@kieran1990able Someone probably answered it, but it was a Cessna 172RG which is Cessna's complex trainer which has landing gear. I know, Anti-Joke Chicken right?
@julesgymnast in case you hadn't noticed, quite a few people LIKED my comment. and i don't see you commenting on every other person who has wrote something similar, like the troll that you are. get a life.
I think he did chop the engine just prior to touch down. Probably he kept the engine running to get a bit of prop wash over the elevator so as to be able to keep the nose up as long as possible and bring the aircraft to lowest airspeed possible, so as to touch down at minimum speed.
I find it funny how the news reporter definitively states that the aircraft "lands on one wheel, that must have been bent". Whereas in reality the gear was not bent that's just how the gear on a 210 folds, and it was a wheels up landing. As for the people saying that he should have cut the engine, what if he decided he needed to go around at the last second? If he had cut the engine that would not even be a possibility. True he trashes the engine, but small price to pay for that extra insurance!
Bent mains? "Delicate maneuver"? I have yet to see the news get a aero story correct. I went to an FAA seminar. The speaker was talking about a twin accident that happened nearby. I said to the guy next to me, "that's the one where both guys died, right"? He said no. I said that's what the news said. He said, "I know, but I was one of the 2 guys in the plane".
i too thought he should have shut the engine to save the prop. Is it possible the prop was windmilling? Its also possible he kept the engine on to be able to abort the landing if he needed to
"The rear landing gear somehow became bent..." ya, in flight a little gremlin bent it with his pliers. Either that or it simply looks "bent" b/c of the way it's designed. "... the front wheel of the small plane never came down", well neither did the main gear too, only partially and only the right. Now, wouldn't it be be nice if these reporters learned at least some very basic things before reporting?!
All the people that say "save the prop". It's the insurance companies airplane, who cares what their prop is like? It you do the whole "shut the engine down and bump the starter to level the prop", then, the wind shifts a bit and you realize you actually need just a bit more power to actually make the runway, but "oops" you shut off the engine.
Well what the pilot should have done was put the one main gear he had down back up and killed the engine when he turned final. That way ho could have saved the prop and by assotiation the engine.
It just shows how dumb news reporters really are. The landing gear was bent, arrrh come on. I wish they would do some research before putting the story to air. The plane had a hydraulic failure and could not extend it's landing gear.
After any crash/prop strike the motor HAS to be ripped apart and rebuilt. This is a req. By the FFA to insure the came shaft and etc where not bent. So even if he had turned off the motor it would of still been sent to be rebuilt.
@worlock1422 Generally you'd like to inflict as little damage as possible on your aircraft, wouldn't you? I know i'd do everything I could to salvage my propeller...
Yes of course, because a pilots top priority is the prop and engine. In order to safely land you DO NOT turn off the engine, now would you dick around with the starter to try to get the prop to stay off the ground, you land the fucking plane.
@overkill1340 : Yes it actually is the pilot's top priority for several reasons:
1. A running engine is a bigger hazard
2. The cost to get an engine and prop replaced
Just before touch down a good pilot will shut the engine off, shut off all the electrics and turn the fuel off. The safest and least expansive way to deal with such emergency.
Actually, as a pilot, I can tell you that saving the engine and prop are not prioritized on any emergency landing checklist. The primary concern of the pilot is safely landing the aircraft. Turning the engine, electrics and fuel off are part of the procedure to prevent the prop or engine from turning into shrapnel and to prevent fires. There is no procedure designed to save the prop or engine in the event of a no-gear landing.
Personally, i'd rather destroy the prop/engine than to dead stick/glide a plane down. Landing with the most control is the best way. Turning the systems off should be done at the very last moment prioritizing fuel pump shut down and then the electricals. This would be for a smooth crash, for a wreck, it wont matter if they are up and running or not as it would all be severed anyway.
@ilia1986 People die trying to save their planes in dead-stick landings. A good pilot would worry about his wife and children more then his plane. You can replace airplanes, but you can't replace family, or your own life for that matter.
very nice job! still he should have cut the engine a bit before landing to save engine (prop strike as you see) and reduce the chance of fire. good job anyway
It's a RG model. there is a 182RG 172RG and whatever else. Im guessing RG stands for retractable gear. As some people mentioned earlier, It is very tricky mechanics and what not. there it is. Okay? so stop commenting asking or saying something that you have no idea about.
Somehow became bent? Yeah, it was bent...in the factory when the plane was made! Geez, just shows how irresponsible news hacks can be spouting bull like that when they wouldn't know an ADF from an autorotation. I was once on a crash truck at a GA field when a 310 made a wheels up. The news hounds came to me wanting a comment and were pissed when I said I'd missed it. Thankfully my instructor Alan Daley had told me when I started flying to NEVER comment to the press. Pilots, take Al's advice.
@MrNinjaboy01 no i am pretty sure luck had not a lot to do with it.. it was unlucky that the gear didnt come down. the pilot was able to walk away because of his skill.. not because of luck
What the hell happen to the landing gear ? must of ripped them off on his first attempt to land

Here, wait... lemme say something that'll tick off all the hoidy-toidy's on the page:
That wing looks like it was installed backwards, that's why the plane dieded

I like the save the prop and motor comments..
After any crash/prop strike the motor HAS to be ripped apart and rebuilt. This is a req. By the FFA to insure the came shaft and etc where not bent. So even if he had turned off the motor it would of still been sent to be rebuilt.

@worlock1422 Generally you'd like to inflict as little damage as possible on your aircraft, wouldn't you? I know i'd do everything I could to salvage my propeller...

Any landing you walk away from is a "good landing".
Any landing make the aircraft still can work is a "perfect landing".

Correction tzebra... any landing you can walk away from is a successful landing, if the plane is still airworthy afterwards it's a good landing.

shouldve killed the engin on that 172 cardinal and you couldve saved your prop but its your plane.

Good but could have tried to save the prop and engine though

Yes of course, because a pilots top priority is the prop and engine. In order to safely land you DO NOT turn off the engine, now would you dick around with the starter to try to get the prop to stay off the ground, you land the fucking plane.

@overkill1340 : Yes it actually is the pilot's top priority for several reasons:
1. A running engine is a bigger hazard
2. The cost to get an engine and prop replaced
Just before touch down a good pilot will shut the engine off, shut off all the electrics and turn the fuel off. The safest and least expansive way to deal with such emergency.

@ilia1986
Actually, as a pilot, I can tell you that saving the engine and prop are not prioritized on any emergency landing checklist. The primary concern of the pilot is safely landing the aircraft. Turning the engine, electrics and fuel off are part of the procedure to prevent the prop or engine from turning into shrapnel and to prevent fires. There is no procedure designed to save the prop or engine in the event of a no-gear landing.
overkill1340 1 year ago
Personally, i'd rather destroy the prop/engine than to dead stick/glide a plane down. Landing with the most control is the best way. Turning the systems off should be done at the very last moment prioritizing fuel pump shut down and then the electricals. This would be for a smooth crash, for a wreck, it wont matter if they are up and running or not as it would all be severed anyway.

@ilia1986 People die trying to save their planes in dead-stick landings. A good pilot would worry about his wife and children more then his plane. You can replace airplanes, but you can't replace family, or your own life for that matter.

very nice job! still he should have cut the engine a bit before landing to save engine (prop strike as you see) and reduce the chance of fire. good job anyway

It's a RG model. there is a 182RG 172RG and whatever else. Im guessing RG stands for retractable gear. As some people mentioned earlier, It is very tricky mechanics and what not. there it is. Okay? so stop commenting asking or saying something that you have no idea about.

Somehow became bent? Yeah, it was bent...in the factory when the plane was made! Geez, just shows how irresponsible news hacks can be spouting bull like that when they wouldn't know an ADF from an autorotation. I was once on a crash truck at a GA field when a 310 made a wheels up. The news hounds came to me wanting a comment and were pissed when I said I'd missed it. Thankfully my instructor Alan Daley had told me when I started flying to NEVER comment to the press. Pilots, take Al's advice.

@MrNinjaboy01 no i am pretty sure luck had not a lot to do with it.. it was unlucky that the gear didnt come down. the pilot was able to walk away because of his skill.. not because of luck

Why didn't he turn off the engine so the prop wouldn't strike?
