@PlebScrubber Hehe, I see your point. Commercial travelisn't what it used to be pre-9/11. I used to chat with the crew and could join in the jump seat, or by the engineer's panel. It's different with a KingAir or similar twin, you're all family in the small cabin. Seriously though, if you contact a local school, you can schedule a flight with the instructor, or go flying with a local club. It's an E-ticket ride!
Don't mistake this pilots accent for ignorance. It seems that many folks believe that if you talk like this "You Might Be A Redneck".
Consider this: This passenger/pilot owns this aircraft, So he's probably an educated intelligent person. A King Air 200 costs from 1 million to about 1.5 million USED! So he is probably not a stupid redneck.
"One Eight Zero to Five Thousand fer another shot a whiskey. Ah needs, ah say I needs to slow mah descent down, it's 2,500 uh, feet per minute here I need to git mah throttle set fer this uh, descent. Ah don't know, ah say I don't know where ta set it at." lol
@beaver5197561AH The aircraft doesn't need to break in order for a situation to be considered an emergency. There are medical emergencies, weather emergencies, hijacking emergencies, etc. This was absolutely a real emergency. I am current and qualified in 3 jet aircraft, and you can bet I would declare an emergency if I was in this guy's shoes because I am not proficient in a King Air 200.
Amazing Job 5-5-9 Delta Whiskey!!! God Was With You For Your 1st Twin Turbine P.I.C. Landing!!! R.I.P. To The Pilot Who Passed Away Doing What He Loved To Do!
@LifeStartCPR64669 What a first landing. Sorry to hear about the pilot but this guy did an amazing job. Very composed for someone who could have been dead along with his whole family. You could hear the terror in his voice after the landing. Wow.
@bdaveshaw Absolutely Agree With you... He was completely beside himself - Not to mention his family was with him! G*d, They must've been just as, if not MORE scared! G*d Bless Him!
good job he aparently got it on the ground bc they switched him over to ground freq. there. ATC helped him out a lot but I like what he said about him and the good lord hand flying this thing lol.
@RZ3296 Smaller, simpler planes that a private pilot like himself would be familiar with often don't have a heading bug. Speaking as a private pilot myself, I can safely land an airplane, but I've never used a heading bug. I would have to fiddle with the heading indicator to figure out how to set the heading bug.
"souls on board" is the correct term for reporting the number of people on board an airplane. Avoids trying to distinguish between passengers and crew, etc.
Wow. did the ATC guy ask 'how many SOULS are onboard'?
That's a freaky way to put it. What if the dude was an atheist, would the answer be "none"? (and the answer "five"; did that include the dead pilot?)
Well, I'm kidding, we know the dude was a beleiver. When the ATC guy said "are you using the autopilot or are you flying the airplane?", he responded "may the good lord hand fly this" (near as I can make out).
He was on autopilot when he asked about the throttle. This plane has a constant speed prop which a private pilot will not know how to use unless he has a complex or high performance endorsement. Also, you can reverse the prop pitch after landing. A good pilot doesn't start flipping switches and pushing levers willy nilly, they take their time and make certain they know the consequences of their actions. The guy did great.
@nadinka007 Operating flaps, and the general technique of landing, are relatively similar between a simple airplane and the KingAir he was flying. The engines (and even the propellers), however, are a great deal more complex on this turboprop plane than on a simple piston-engine plane like he would be familiar with.
That is one cool customer. What I really can't believe is that as the guy is coming in to land a plane he's never flown before in what amounts to an emergency landing the last thing we hear is ATC telling him to change frequencies like it's just a standard incoming flight!!!! That's funny. This guy sure handles it like a pro. Good job whoever the pilot was!
@LostUpNorth715 other than his flying abillity it wasn't a real emerg. noting was wrong with the plane. He knew a lil bout flying bc he asked for winds knew headings and alt., knew to read the tail # and how to prevent a stall.
when you listen to the full audio, you will find out that the passenger is a single engine privet pilot, so he knows what he is doing basicly, he just doesn't know the King Air 200, he only knows how to fly a cesna
@LostUpNorth715 I thought the same thing, but the controller can tell that the passenger has basic experience. He's plenty busy on the approach freq, hewas doing well enough that they didn't take over the frequency. The controllers are entrenched in procedural routine when it comes to radio traffic, so he called out the ground comm. Funny.
I don`t hate America. But Airbus had been selling more planes then Boeing. Of the past 10 Years 8 years of that Airbus had more orders then Boeing (6137 Planes VS 5869). So it's only a matter of time before there are about the same number or even more Airbus in the Sky as Boeing. Also Airbus has many planes ending up with low cost African, Middle eastern operators that do not take servicing so serious. So more planes in the sky does not have to mean more accidents at all.
It's not impossible for a non-pilot to bring down even a big plane safely.
I managed to land a 757 twice in a flight simulator quite easily. Not sure if I could have done it without the runway ligths that indicate corrent trajectory though. (2 pairs of lights that you should keep aligned in your vision)
And NO this was not FSX. This was one of the pilot training simulators using which you can become a licenced pilot without ever stepping your foot in a real plane.
Sound like he started crying after touchdown and the controller told him to switch to ground frequency and nice job...... Hell I don't blame him either.
@8justin88 for every emergency, persons on board is asked for just as standard procedure. souls on board is no longer used. really for the only reason is souls on board sounds like they are already dead.
Euwee....euweee....I say a shame shame..... oh my sweet maamy o ...she say.....If you can't say a narin thing nice....don't say nothing at all.... this b word this and n word that would have made her ass to start a-itchen....every time.
bahahhaha flight sims Yutubewetube PWNED TOP COMMENT...top comment man you got PWNED BIG TIME SON, I BET ALL THOSE THUMBS UP U GOT WOULD CHANGe to thumbs DOWN PWNED BIATCH FLIGHT SIMS wind speed BIATCH WHAT WAT!!!!!!!
Of all planes it had to be a complex kingair, iv done a few landings there , the good thing is that there is one nice long runway. Sounds like he has some experience, but im not sure, he asked about if he should kill the power after landing?
WOW...NO HURT PEOPLE, OR BENT METAL...THANKS TO THE PIC, ACCIDENTAL, OR NOT......A MIRACLE. ATC PERFORMED GREAT, AS WELL. HATS ARE OFF. THE PILOT, LOW TIME SINGLE ENGINE LAND...PERFORMED GREAT....AMAZING.
A ZERO TIME PIC....THE RESULTS WOULD BE DEADLY... STATISTICS. SORRY.
Doing my King Air 350 (Pro-Line 21) conversion now with the RAAF. Previously flown PC9, Caribou, and C130H, plus a range of civvy twins, and I can tell you that the King Air is a handful for the first time, and that's for trained multi-engine pilots with a lot of hours (like myself). Now imagine having to fly this thing with your only experience being around 100 hours in a single engine aircraft, and you have your family on board. For what it's worth, hat's off to both pilot and controller.
MY OPPINON ONLY. EVEN THOUGH THIS PILOT WAS SINGLE ENGINE LAND, THIS AIRCRAFT CAN BE A HANDFULL FOR HIM. HE ASKED THE RIGHT QUESTIONS, SOMETHING A NON PILOT WOULD NEVER ASK. WITHOUT EXPERIENCE, THIS OUTCOME MOST LIKELY WOULD BE TRAGIC.....DESPITE THE GREAT EFFORTS OF ATC. THEY WERE AWESOME, THOUGH.
WHAT????? I call BS to a certain degree!!!!! Why did ATC tell him to go to ground??!! If that was so nerve wrecking and you touched down you want to stop in the middle of the runway and get off NOW!!! Maybe even kiss the ground.
go to ground frequency HA HA for what to tell him it was all a joke???!!!!
@boramkiv if guy managed to land - he may as well clear or active runway:) if he would crash - this direction won't matter. Being a student pilot - i think this can be real. i may not know how to work controls of airliners, but show me gear, flaps, and throttle controls on smaller plane - and i'd give it a shot.
Check the worst 100 commercial Airplane disasters. Most are from Boeing planes. A far higher number then Airbus. Just look at the american made Cars. US cars are renowned around the world for their BAD quality. You should try to be more honest about this. Only Toyota now seems to have a worse image. That`s why European Cars are so popular. BMW, Mercedes, Volkswagen, Audi, Saab, Renae, Fiat, Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini...etc..etc.. India just bought 180 Airbus planes worth 15 Billion.
@EuroSon99 thats because there are neatly 4 times the boeings out there....and they've been flying since the 1920's.......back when airbus was still shittin yellow.
poor try at diggin at the US there kid.....maybe you shouldnt post anymore, you just make yourself look stupid.
Haha. Don`t be Stupid. Airbus is outselling Boeing. So it`s just a time issue before Airbus also has the most total planes flying. You are in a loosing battle. Besides, the US is becoming a secondary player. US is becoming famous for it`s bad infrastructure. Famous for having the Highest Debt of any nation (and quickly rising). It is also falling further behind in quality education in math, biology, science, etc...So you say that Boeing/ US are better. Lol, You are surely joking. Nice joke!
"Check the worst 100 commercial Airplane disasters. Most are from Boeing planes." I honestly don't care about who makes what plane or whatever, but that's an incomparable statistic. You have to compare failure rates not total failures. If I make one airplane at home and it crashes on takeoff, that's only one crash, but my failure rate is 100%. If I make 5 million planes and 5 of them crash... well I'm sure you get the point.
@EuroSon99 yeah so is that why the 787 orders and 777 are so popular in Asia? Or why the 737 is the most used commercial aircraft on Earth? There are more Boeing crashes because, here it comes......THERE ARE WAY MORE BOEINGS IN THE SKIES!. Idiot. Just admit you're an America hater and we can move on.
I've seen a longer version of this video somewhere.. At one point the man flying the plane states he's had some single engine experience, but nothing like this.
@EuroSon99 Holy hell, the aircraft with the best safety record to date are made in the US. Geez, I dont have a name to call you. Maybe you should just not talk! Go Cessna!
awesome! this guy totally kept his act together...even if you have some flight experience (172, cherokee, etc) a king air is a totally different animal....I probably woulda taken a look around the cockpit and gone catatonic
@manifestgtr i agree dude king air is totally diff its a more complex cockpit also the flying is different it is faster etc so yh i take my hat off to this guy. I only flown 152 but i wouldn't be able to do what that guy did
I knew the pilot that died very well, having work for him at Legacy Aviation in 99' 2000' Col. Joe Cabuk was an insperation to all those around him. RIP Sir!
@cometoanend. Flight sim and piloting a real craft are hugely different. Flight sim does help with some basic things. But, take offs and landings are not easy in a real airplane, What do you do in a crosswind? Do you crab or sideslip? When do you flare in this particular craft if at all? There are tons of variables involved. No, sir, it would have been your nightmare if this had happened to you with only flight sim experience. You and your passengers would likely be dead.
good thing the Lousiana man had flight experience, he sounded like he knew pretty much what he was doing, with control tower man helping him out ,GREAT JOB FOR BOTH OF THEM !!
If you have a PPLa and a "nice" fellow on ground i.e. in your ear
you can manage it.
We landed a 747 original simulator / 500 Euor/h from Lufthansa/FRA
in HongKong and 40 minutes later in Alaska WITHOUT ENGINES i.e. with 0.0 jetpower. AND it worked. The trainer said: I never did this procedure with my Lufthansa fellwos, as it will normaly never happen that all four engines had a stall. He was happy too and proposed when we said cherio: Next year again ....... on airbus :-)
I went through ground school with no airtime hours some years back. I'd like to believe that I could land a passenger plane if I needed to, except maybe behemoth jumbo jets.
I'd still try if I had the most experience, but it might be a Ted Stryker landing.
A regular civilian would never ask for the winds on approach... Wouldn't know what a heading was and how to communicate with ATC the way this man did. He clearly had some flight experience. Probably as a Private Pilot which made flying a twin turbo prop a bit nerve racking, but nothing that a single engine pilot can't manage.
@theevilmeister This guy had some experience in a Cessna 172. This isn't the whole video but he tells the tower that he did have some flight experience.
@larsjake That depends on the plane we would be talking about, but in FSX I've found that at 80-90% it works just fine. Now, this is what I want to study at university, until then I'm just speculating, I've no idea
@Zeonvision Good for you, but like I said, a cessna is a trianer for the most part, do you condition props for cruise and landing on FSX? they leave a lot out on that game, although it is awesome to play! It is much more complicated to land a kingair.
@USMarineCorpsHUAR Flight Simulator X is far from reality. This is coming from a real airline pilot. Not only me but all airline pilots. Only aircraft from the Precision Manuals Development Group are worthily and accurately comparable to real aircrafts.
every kid pilot's dream, without the actual pilot dying of course. myabe just passing out or stuck in the head or something lol.

Being a student pilot - i think this can be real. i may not know how to work controls of airliners, but show me gear, flaps, and throttle controls on smaller plane - and i'd give it a shot.

Check the worst 100 commercial Airplane disasters. Most are from Boeing planes. A far higher number then Airbus. Just look at the american made Cars. US cars are renowned around the world for their BAD quality. You should try to be more honest about this. Only Toyota now seems to have a worse image. That`s why European Cars are so popular. BMW, Mercedes, Volkswagen, Audi, Saab, Renae, Fiat, Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini...etc..etc.. India just bought 180 Airbus planes worth 15 Billion.

@EuroSon99 thats because there are neatly 4 times the boeings out there....and they've been flying since the 1920's.......back when airbus was still shittin yellow.
poor try at diggin at the US there kid.....maybe you shouldnt post anymore, you just make yourself look stupid.

Haha. Don`t be Stupid. Airbus is outselling Boeing. So it`s just a time issue before Airbus also has the most total planes flying. You are in a loosing battle. Besides, the US is becoming a secondary player. US is becoming famous for it`s bad infrastructure. Famous for having the Highest Debt of any nation (and quickly rising). It is also falling further behind in quality education in math, biology, science, etc...So you say that Boeing/ US are better. Lol, You are surely joking. Nice joke!

"Check the worst 100 commercial Airplane disasters. Most are from Boeing planes." I honestly don't care about who makes what plane or whatever, but that's an incomparable statistic. You have to compare failure rates not total failures. If I make one airplane at home and it crashes on takeoff, that's only one crash, but my failure rate is 100%. If I make 5 million planes and 5 of them crash... well I'm sure you get the point.

@EuroSon99 yeah so is that why the 787 orders and 777 are so popular in Asia? Or why the 737 is the most used commercial aircraft on Earth? There are more Boeing crashes because, here it comes......THERE ARE WAY MORE BOEINGS IN THE SKIES!. Idiot. Just admit you're an America hater and we can move on.

@cometoanend. Flight sim and piloting a real craft are hugely different. Flight sim does help with some basic things. But, take offs and landings are not easy in a real airplane, What do you do in a crosswind? Do you crab or sideslip? When do you flare in this particular craft if at all? There are tons of variables involved. No, sir, it would have been your nightmare if this had happened to you with only flight sim experience. You and your passengers would likely be dead.

Well done.
If you have a PPLa and a "nice" fellow on ground i.e. in your ear
you can manage it.
We landed a 747 original simulator / 500 Euor/h from Lufthansa/FRA
in HongKong and 40 minutes later in Alaska WITHOUT ENGINES i.e. with 0.0 jetpower. AND it worked. The trainer said: I never did this procedure with my Lufthansa fellwos, as it will normaly never happen that all four engines had a stall. He was happy too and proposed when we said cherio: Next year again ....... on airbus :-)

I went through ground school with no airtime hours some years back. I'd like to believe that I could land a passenger plane if I needed to, except maybe behemoth jumbo jets.
I'd still try if I had the most experience, but it might be a Ted Stryker landing.

A regular civilian would never ask for the winds on approach... Wouldn't know what a heading was and how to communicate with ATC the way this man did. He clearly had some flight experience. Probably as a Private Pilot which made flying a twin turbo prop a bit nerve racking, but nothing that a single engine pilot can't manage.

@larsjake That depends on the plane we would be talking about, but in FSX I've found that at 80-90% it works just fine. Now, this is what I want to study at university, until then I'm just speculating, I've no idea

@Zeonvision Good for you, but like I said, a cessna is a trianer for the most part, do you condition props for cruise and landing on FSX? they leave a lot out on that game, although it is awesome to play! It is much more complicated to land a kingair.
