"The closest I have come to dying and the closest I ever want to get to it". Believe it or not, you're going to die in the end whatever you do, you silly cunt....
"The plane suddenly encounters a strong tailwind and speeds out of control" A sudden strong tailwind does the opposite. A loss in airspeed and possible stall.
Err.. what? You are flying in a block of air, your speed through this block of air is what is indicated by your ASI, and provides the airflow over your wing. It makes no difference which direction the block of air is traveling, only how fast you are traveling within it. A tailwind will "push" you along the ground faster, but it don't make a tinker's cuss of difference to your IAS (and therefore stall speed) ...
.. after all, a headwind doesn't reduce your stall speed, does it? It just allows you to "fly" further over the same ground distance, so you e.g. appear to climb faster ,which is why one takes off into wind, preferably. Also, "stall speed" is a bit of a misnomer, as a stall happens when you exceed the critical angle of attack, and that can occur at ANY speed ;-)
EMT2: It occurred just as the nose-down attitude changed immediately before the a/c hit the deck. Unfortunately, the original soundtrack has been edited out here. The reduced nose-low attitude & positive pitch power application was what was needed to kill the massive rate of descent, but the pilot left it far too late! Now watch another landing which also ends in a rather spectacular fashion. Click on the "EntertainMeThai" name below then on "Landing Accident-Rarely Seen Bouncing or Porpoising".
EMT-1: The pilot used reverse thrust to increase the descent angle, probably because it makes for a more spectacular approach. Just what's needed for an airshow! Well, he sure achieved a spectacular approach & an even more spectacular landing! A real show stopper & a hard act to follow! I replayed my VCR recording of this several times back in 1984. An interesting fact emerged, which was the sudden burst of power that could be heard on the original sound track. (cont at EMT2)
somebody should have schooled the narrator prior to putting this on tv. I mean, seriously: "speed out of control" and "one of the props were 'jammed'"? Ridiculous.
@skibdattles - You're clearly not a pilot, I agree totally with dejordyball, the narration DOES NOT make any sense. Pilot error... failure to maintain control (probably airspeed) of the aircraft!
@skibdattles That's all you can do is insult? Good job, maybe you should listen to a professional Airline Transport Pilot, that actually knows what he's talking about? This story along with so many others are aimed at getting attention from making it sound as bad as possible, what does prop getting stuck even mean? Go back and fly your desktop skibdattles and let me know what you find out. Thanks
@flywm I'm not a pilot but I'm going to take a guess at what a stuck prop means,I think its the pitch of the blade when taking off it's set to max and in flight it's reduced to save fuel.And when this plane got into trouble it would not go back to max for the power they needed to pull up.
@MrCriticOfAll I am a pilot, actually a professional Airline Transport Pilot. A stuck prop? (no such thing). The "prop lever" getting stuck in a cruise setting would not cause this. But look into a "stall" guys, the pilot pulled out of this stunt too late with depleted airspeed. A tailwind would have no effect on airspeed. Tailwinds have never made a plane stall. PLAIN & SIMPLE PILOT ERROR
Tell me where in the AAIB report that engine failure is ever mentioned? Even if an engine had failed, this should have been an uneventful short-field landing. The airplane was perfectly airworthy, but mishandled. Best to stick to known facts!
Typical American. During the three and a half minutes they managed to squeeze in the moment of impact nine times. Not even mentioning the the amount of "just before impact scenes..." American documentaries sucs...
@sailingmare Typical non-American idiot: assuming everyone in a highly populated country is terrible at something just because they watched one poor video on the internet. I'm sure that everyone in your country is good at doing everything, correct? Please continue to be ignorant so we may all laugh at how much of a moron you are.
@wunkus I don't dislike Americans in general at all. I just dislike american documentary (almost) in general. They usually look more like MTV with very short clips and over inflated stories but that's just my opinion. I can't tell about every country and language but I can really recommend the British BBC productions which I fancy (I'm not British by the way...).
Wow...what is the mystery. Bad approach, bad landing, bad flying skills. Stuck propeller? Controls non-resposive? Sudden tailwind (WTF) ?!?!?!?! I'd say there was a screw loose in the cockpit. The pilot was in dire need of a 709 ride befoe this "accident" ever happened.
@McGrottomaster How can I repent? I haven't even pented!! Read your Bible, "No man knoweth the hour or the day, not even the angels which are in heaven."
The narrator is that dumb Stacy Keach, that had a loser show called Mike Hammer, detective or something. He continues to use his good looks where he should...radio.
That plane held up well, if an A320 did that, it would have disintegrated. If a 777 did that, history will tell us, it well get a few scratches on the bottom and be able to fly the next day.
never saw a so disturbing lack of profissionalism, and above it all the experience and respect for all aviation fans... after a ridiculous demostration like this, they should lose the licençe...sorry for the criticizes, but in aviation there's no room for a inflated ego...

I was there that day at Farnborough; Before my very eyes Buffalo crashed. Wheels came off the landing gear and rolling, hopping into the spectators crowd.
They came in too low and slow because of the show the pilots had to deliver. I will never accept any excuses, unexspected tailwinds and such. I am am a proud pilot myself, since many years, but I know and hate unprofessional and irresponsible piloting. Believe me, I can see it coming even before it happens
Engine failure my ass. And 'propeller jammed'...not so. Conditions at Farnborough were gusty that day and their approach was compromised by the gusts. And the narrator certainly doesn't contribute any intelligence...only hype. As for inflight thrust reversal: it can be done and has been done successfully in cases of extreme STOL, but again, the weather was not on anyone's side that day. September 4, 1984.
@Triple777ER Um...why?? You don't need to watch it!! Imagine if they would have "changed shots" on 911, so none of us got to see what happened!! Seriously..you don't have to watch..it's not like seeing someone have their head cut off11
well technically this IS then a good landing - remember, any landing where you can walk away from is a GOOD landing, any landing where the plane can be used again is a GREAT landing...! ;-D
OK a tail wind WILL NOT CAUSE AN AIRCRAFT TO "SPEED OUT OF CONTROL"! A strong tail wind will cause the wings to generate less lift which can result in a stall.
This is the worst tv commentating I've ever heard. Fraught with absurd errors. If you don't know what the hell you're talking about, don't talk. You only make yourself sound like a fool to those in the know.
A strong tailwind? Speeding out of control? A jammed prop? LOL.
A typical dramatisation for TV and inaccurate info.
The UK AAIB investigation determined that the pilot selected reverse thrust from the engines (which effectively idles the engines and reverses the pitch of the propellers) while lining up for his final approach. This is not an approved flight mode. He then applied full (forward) power to stop the resulting rapid descent but these engines take nearly 2 seconds to spool up after idle.
Basically the pilot was showboating and screwed up!
@smartbrit i took up skydiving a while ago and its amazing how truTV never gets the facts straight on anything they present. theres always some 'gust of wind' to blame its really quite funny. truTV rarely says anything true on any of their shows lol
@smartbrit I'll buy that explanation, but do you have it from the UK report that this was not an "approved" maneuver in the UK? This maneuver is actually quite common in reverse pitch capable prop planes for use when getting into very short runways or when you otherwise need a steep rate of descent without the extra speed of a dive.
@PhrynosomaTexas It's not a UK limitation but a finding that the aircraft was not being operated within the tested flight regime as defined by the manufacturer. This does not necessarily imply the pilot was wilfully taking risks, simply that he was getting into unknown territory. The same manoeuvre worked the previous day but the wind conditions changed for the accident flight and the manoeuvere didn't work this time! Go to AAIB.gov.uk and search for C-GCTC for the report.
@smartbrit isn't that an oxymoron? anyway, what you're saying makes no sense. in your version, the plane was just too fast. but in that case, the pilot would have had complete control and could have pulled up anytime. the only reason why the accident would happen like it did in the video would be when the plane stalls - loss of lift - or somehow loses elevator authority. both could be caused by a strong tailwind gust.
@aseglkj I didn't state anywhere that the plane was "too fast". I stated it had a rapid rate of descent which is not neccesarily the same thing. The pilot may have had positive control but if you are close to the ground, at low power and in a rapid descent, having full control of the aircraft will not help if there is insufficient altitude to recover. Another 100 feet of altitude might have been enough.
I have merely reported findings of the accident investigation, not my opnions.
They dont have much time & altitude to do that, and one of the engine was jammed, with bonus "strong tail wind"...glad he can still pulled up the cockpit horizontaly
Sounds like BS. Windshear on final with a tailwind would lead to the opposite of "speeding out of control". One would have to select T/O power instead. Then one of the propellers is "jammed"? Skillful flying my ass!
I'm glad they're alive, but look at their approach, it is too short. No wonder why they crashed, if they had a longer approach, they could have compensated for the jammed propeller if opposite rudder
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I am glad they survived but dying is not the end! We ALL have an immortal soul, we each must decide where we want to spend eternity! God has provided a way to heaven through His Son Jesus Christ. If you trust Him you have no reason to fear death. Happy Flying!
An error of judgement by the aircraft commander. Unfavourable weather conditions, a transitory handling problem whilst flying outside the tested flight regime and the pressure on the commander to complete his flying sequence, where probably contributing factors
"The closest I have come to dying and the closest I ever want to get to it". Believe it or not, you're going to die in the end whatever you do, you silly cunt....

The pilot may have had positive control but if you are close to the ground, at low power and in a rapid descent, having full control of the aircraft will not help if there is insufficient altitude to recover. Another 100 feet of altitude might have been enough.
I have merely reported findings of the accident investigation, not my opnions.

@smartbrit showboating to say the least. That cowboy approach was seriously asking for it. Power or not that was a nutty turn to final.

Sounds like BS. Windshear on final with a tailwind would lead to the opposite of "speeding out of control". One would have to select T/O power instead. Then one of the propellers is "jammed"? Skillful flying my ass!

Well dude that landing was like an orca jump :p

I'm glad they're alive, but look at their approach, it is too short. No wonder why they crashed, if they had a longer approach, they could have compensated for the jammed propeller if opposite rudder

They were showing off. Hence not a normal approach. Again they are showing the short and tight approach capabilities.

I am glad they survived but dying is not the end! We ALL have an immortal soul, we each must decide where we want to spend eternity! God has provided a way to heaven through His Son Jesus Christ. If you trust Him you have no reason to fear death. Happy Flying!

An error of judgement by the aircraft commander. Unfavourable weather conditions, a transitory handling problem whilst flying outside the tested flight regime and the pressure on the commander to complete his flying sequence, where probably contributing factors

why the hell he used such a step bank angle to turn at that airspeed? I'm sure that did not help him at all to controll the airplane.
