Raw Video: Small Plane Flips on Landing

[Fokker1915]

Good for you, it will make a totally different pilot out of you when you begin to learn what the airplane can and can't do.

[Fokker1915]

High, fast, well down the runway and trying to force the wheels on the ground. There should have been a voice in his head screaming, GO AROUND, GO AROUND.

[riderpoet]

It looks like he over-braked in an attempt to make a turn-off. Since they don't show how much runway was remaining, it's hard to know why he would have done this, unless he was just in a huge hurry for some reason and trying to get into the FBO as quickly as possible.

[weinstein888]

applied brakes too hard.

[TheTodd2u]

I guess he forgot about the rudder and just went stright to braking hard with both insead of using the right one to keep the nose straight. He almost had it, but it looks like he just panicked and jammed both brakes to stop instead of keeping it straight. Who knows what really happened. I have had several landings in cessnas and lost a brake. Touch it once and it's fine. Touch it the second time and it goes to nothing.

[WoodstaS]

Press Z or R twice!

[abus777]

I LOVE YOU TUBES PROFESSIONAL PILOT CRITIICS...

You gus are so funny.

Keep up the good work.

[danboy1984]

somersault landing!!!!!

gold medal!!!!

[hawker445]

this is why i hate taildraggers

[Fokker1915]

@hawker445 You should hate people who can't fly a real airplane and have to have a training wheel in front.

Jim Foreman 2000 hours Cessna 180

[hawker445]

@Fokker1915 Haha that is true. I just don't like the idea of ground looping while on landing

[Fokker1915]

@hawker445 All it takes is learning how to fly a real airplane. Once you can fly one, you can fly anything.

Jim

[hawker445]

@Fokker1915 Yea, i am taking my checkride this week for my Private., then i am going to get tail wheel endorsement

[kelbymiller]

That was not a wind current, that was bad use of brakes/bad piloting skill.

[08mcneil]

well next time he should be able to do a 360 instead of a 180...........lol

[jpm4444]

totally panicked; bad flying

[toutatis12]

Why's he jamming on the brakes? Plenty o runway left.

[djandrevel]

this is so funny...it seems he missed the shortway to tarmac and hit toebrakes too hard...

[KnightTemplari]

plane handles much different after dropping off the drugs.

[XMobbertX]

thats one way to stop

[rabbitcancer]

LOL! Next time don't brake so hard. That's the problem with taildraggers that are quite light.

[Trevor2497]

hopefully he has good insurance lol

[bernard240vdc]

to awnser nc90awd question i would say yes this plane may fly again but only after a complete engine teardown and necessary repairs prop replacement and repairs to the  fuselage maybe these repairs will be too expensive for the value of this plane so then this plane may never fly again in that case

[bernard240vdc]

with taildragers one can only use the brakes very carefully definetely one cannot apply continuous heavy brake pressure after touchdown elevator can be used maybe a bit to try and keep tail down but only for a while at low airspeed the elevator will not have  mucht effect anymore for now i will stick to tricycle landing gear on the aircraft i am taking lessons in

[DevoutSkeptic]

What are you talking about wind? He flipped over because he slowed down to quickly and the momentum of the aircraft caused the tail to flip. It's the equivalent of riding a bike and then jamming the front brakes, so the front stops, but the back keeps moving and flips the bike. Wind had nothing to do with this.

[899polo1]

a little bit to fast?xD hope he´s ok...

[petecatzsuxbad]

add trim up 50% lower the main jib and flush the rod!

reduce power thrusters kick down the high idle .....derr am i right people???

[hiroad101]

This guy should stick to TRIKE gear...... then he won't nose over. lol

[smokeyriverband]

being a taildragger pilot myself, I know that you have to fly from the hangar back to the hangar.....you can't be on the taxi way and look over at your friends because if you do you'll ground loop it.

[joshuaspolar]

called getting off those brakes when you hear the tires locking...

[tinyman12323]

Riding the brakes?

[TheTodd2u]

UMMMMMM RIGHT RUDDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jargo432]

too fast

[bliglum]

And that's why tail draggers suck

[bronco8585]

@bliglum No. That's why you have to have serious skillz to fly the real airplanes: Taildraggers.

[novsierra]

@bliglum you don't stop flying a taildragger until the wheels are in the chocks and the wings are tied down

[coxairman]

PIREP: Runway upside down

[KDanagger]

If you are floating, raise flaps to get plane on the ground, and take it easy on the brakes - there was plenty of runway left.

[mitche11c]

@KDanagger if he raises his flaps at that speed he stalls you moron... stick to flight sim!

[KDanagger]

@mitche11c

Ahem... The plane is on the ground or within a few inches of it. There is NO STALL DANGER. Raising the flaps puts increased weight on the mains and makes the brakes much more effective. Up elevator can be applied as needed to keep the tail down - with retracted flaps the plane stays firmly on the ground. I do short field landings in a Super Cub all the time so I know what works. Look up 'short approach' on flighttraining dot aopa dot org.

[mmarkhalls]

TO/GA!

[sbisbell]

How NOT to land a taildragger.

[cjellwood]

Maybe all the drugs in the back fell forward as he braked?

[Lov2tinker]

The Monkey Fucker was turned off.....thats why it crashed.....

[akcastlemason]

"The brakes are in the rudders" ? No. The brakes are applied when you push forward on the top of the rudder pedals. She did not keep it going straight down the runway and when she saw the side of the runway coming fast she panicked. She fipped over because she applied too much brake right before the tail went up. Bad instructor and woman panic easy.

[April4th1984]

@akcastlemason. Er.... some men panic easy too.

[axs12345]

the brakes are in the rudders on a c 185 maby it was an unexpirenced passenger doing the landing .... just saying .....

[lukeskywalkerlol]

what an idiot pilot... he should notice and release the fucking brakes...

[ravenpaw77]

first of all i agree to much tail wind he didn't get the tail down so air flowed then he or she slammed the breaks to hard u can tell :P

[deimos2k6]

too much tail wind?

[my2crowns]

He musta really wanted to make that first turn off of the active...

[bravobravo74]

Does anyone else laugh when they hear the 'thud' as it finally tips onto its back?

[toospeed31]

@bravobravo74 not only laughed at the thud but watch the video again and watch the landing gear, it is so funny watching it wabble as if to say oh no not again lol

[abus777]

@bravobravo74 NO!

Apart from an idiot perhaps?

[bravobravo74]

@abus777 Have a sense of humour. I could understand people laughing at me if I nosed-over a Cessna 185 or whatever it is in a comedy fashion.

[steffanan]

@bravobravo74 only because you mentioned it!!

[Daniel11987]

@bravobravo74 Yes.

[Latvietis96]

Cessna 170`s are very rare!!!

[kristenburnout1]

@Latvietis96 I think this is a Cessna 180 :)

[Latvietis96]

@kristenburnout1 yeah, maybe

Cessna 170 looked a bit different, older

[altazboy]

dumber than dumb... seriously pitiful piloting .. looks like he saw a chick on the left side of the runway and forgot to slow down before trying to make the turn..

[superhot340]

The problem was that the tail wheel was not fully settled on the ground, and the pilot was way too heavy on the brakes, Thus, plane flipping forward.

[RAFCFC]

@superhot340 hi there, not to be picky but i think you might be wrong, although you are right about the tail wheel was not settled, from what i saw i think that aircraft's main gear hit the grass on the side of the runway therefore not allowing the aircraft to roll which made it go over it self.

[superhot340]

@RAFCFC hm.. you maybe right...

[carlosflores9876]

@RAFCFC did you not hear the skidding on the video?!?!?! It was bc of the braking action.

[bennemans92]

fail plane :p

[zoeykjtaylor]

i laugh but the only reason is it wasnt fatal or even dangeous. it is funny and they can get up and walk away,. He is probably pissed though

[airmech1985]

Shockload time!!!

[nikthepilot]

FUCKING HOLE!!

[DRUMMERNIGGA]

hmmmmmmm wonder how many kilos he had on that plane it was in colombia

[youcantleaveDave]

RETARD!!!

[fsxchamp]

Called go around

[bradman5505]

looks like something i would do in Flight Simulator X

[cesario7777]

Clearly he tried to take the first taxiway to the left off the runway, over stepped on the brakes, and thus flipped the plane. This is a tail wheel plane, with brakes only on the 2 front wheels, so one must be careful with the brakes!

The AP story that it was a strong wind current is false. This likely was a rookie pilot, used to tricycle type landing gears (i.e. Piper) Or a careless stupid, drunken, pilot. Also, one lands into the wind, so there is no way the wind is going to flip the plane!

[C172Pilotdude]

Get off the brakes jackass

[aws0415]

At least he pulled back on the stick as the tail came off the ground. You can see the elevators go up.

[skorpen2]

Ground loop..

[littlelosito]

that actually was a pretty funny crash. was any1 hurt

[opvaskemiddel]

@littlelosito only the one passenger had some minor injuries, and was taken to the hospital, but nothing serious

[Kookoooo1]

if it was a bike it would be heho flip over go again

not silver suit people wearing vests

[yunais1]

hahahahahahahaha

[supamariotv]

This plane is now on the "No Fly List"

[Jamesfromnyc]

Perfect example of the plane flying the pilot. Guy musta froze up or something. Didn't even look like he tried to correct.

[joewells12345]

Tail not pinned on landing is all.

[SkyhawkTL]

Probably a gravity vortex.....

[yoduke01]

.... it's on a take off checklist??? lol!!

[nc90awd]

so is this plane able to fly again?

[novsierra]

@nc90awd Noooooo. With a prop strike, the engine has to be fully overhauled. Then, he must of done some serious damage to the tail, and depending what he landed on, the wings might be damaged. Sometimes when the plane isnt worth a lot, people just part them out, but this one probably will fly again.

[OMF1955]

The rookie just forgot to cut power when he touched de runway. Hehehehe what a lesson

[amediastintas]

from what i can tell and thats not much. looks like left brake locks tries to correct doesnt want to go of the runway locks right brake full back elevator pressure but not good enough. not many schools teach ground looping on purpose. it wouldve saved the aircraft

[MaximumThrust1]

Heavy Braking on a hard long runway ????

[dirtysouth17]

this is why you have to have a tailwheel endorsement in your log book before you can fly one. that probably totaled that plane out

[bpbat21]

The only time you relax during the taxi of a tail dragger is when the wings are tied down and the engine is off!!!

[ArizonaDesertPiper]

That applies to any airplane, you fly it until it is tied down.

[bpbat21]

trikes are far easier to taxi than tail draggers...

[ArizonaDesertPiper]

bpbat21: what does that have to do with my comment?

[bpbat21]

Your comment led me to believe that you don't know what your talking about...a tail dragger constantly wants to ground loop. Tricycle gear has the weight of the engine on the nose wheel and it goes straight with very little input.

[ArizonaDesertPiper]

bpbat21; I soloed in a champ. and have a lot of time in J-3's as well as PA-18. I know the difference between a tail drager and a trike, but does not change the fact that you do not stop flying any airplane until it is tied down.

[airste172]

No wind since the plane would have been landing INTO the wind and that wouldn't cause it to flip. It was leaning a bit too much on the brakes that finally flipped it! LOL

[ficklefab]

Think he braked before the tail touched down. So inertia flipped the plane.

[offmessy]

lol

[MAMALON526]

If something goes wrong during the landing phase the only thing to do is full power and go around and try again.

[pavelavietor1]

hello tailwheelflier lol we love you man God speed

[JohnBohnam223]

HAHAHAHAHA RC Plane........

[tailwheelflier]

stupid piloting caused the flip,,,wind woulda had the camera rustling,,,,fucking stupid pilots fuck up more airplanes than anything else.,,,,,and fucking stupid people totally blow it out of context,,,fuckers,,,keep dumbass's out of taildraggers and in nosedraggers,,and let the real pilots (me) fly these kind of airplanes

[DuoDiscusFlyer775]

You? Real pilot? With that kind of respect for "fellow" pilots? I don't think so....

[M11ty2]

he used to much brake

[Chewie316]

"Like a glove"!- Ace Ventura.

[laosandburma]

If only he had tried to land on the roof everything would have ended up ok!

[crb703]

cessna 180

[crb703]

wind did not flip plane, improper use of brakes most diffently did, lack of proper crosswind landing technique caused plane to veer left, with little or no rudder or steering to correct.. Needs more tailwheel training me thinks. Beautiful airplane hope he didn't hurt himself too bad, shame such a nice cessna 170

[danielk53164]

I had heard many c-170 end up on their back because the parking brake handle falls into locked position during flight.

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

Don't worry it was just Andre the Giant's RC plane. Yes he's back from the dead...

[switzerlicious]

looks like how i park at work

[dankchief]

its full of coke thats why

[tecpaocelotl]

Awesome. 5 stars.

[P3rf3ctStorm]

oops!

[lrn2wlk4life]

Alright, AP is catching up with liveleak ... in terms of reposting random movies

[ViciousGX]

small plane....oxymoron

[pgr2592]

No it isn't.....

[INKfr33k]

this is why I dont go on planes....

[spintopbikes]

hope every one is okay
