Bad Landing

[stenhammarledsbo]

This is taken from wikipedia :)

On 2 February 1989, the first prototype JAS 39-1 crashed on its sixth flight, when attempting to land in Linköping. The accident was filmed in a now famous recording by a crew from Sveriges Television's Aktuellt.[1] The pilot, Lars Rådeström, remained in the tumbling aircraft, and escaped with a fractured elbow and some minor injuries. The crash was the result of pilot-induced oscillation (PIO). Extremely gusty winds were also a contributing factor.

[PortlandViper]

amazing she didnt blow up

[sashman3988]

Shit that was horrible!

[RADIOACTIVEBUNY]

I dunno, that was atrocious. I'd have to call computer problems on that, I mean there's no way a guy who is skilled enough to even be allowed to sit in the cockpit of one of those things (Is it a Eurofighter or a Typhoon?) would be THAT bad.

[ahpuesbru]

Did he die?

[stenhammarledsbo]

@ahpuesbru No, he didn't :)

[mredwinb4time]

I don't think it was that bad!! I'm sure a little duct tape will have it flying in no time!!

[marechalrommel]

is that a eurofighter?

[hawktb9]

@marechalrommel Looks more like the SAAB Gripen... The canards are smaller compared to the Typhoon... O.o

[kSwiss987]

he was overspeed with no flaps if you look in the video, with a system failure which made his approach very difficult according to the aircraft accident report. he survived with a broken leg and fractured wrist. statement from the pilot," i figured i could set the aircraft down safely, but it just snowballed."

[Ryan92Ex]

Don't worry, just standard procedure.

[DeniskaFromRussia]

I agree, the pilot seemed to be trying to get the plane land, but in order to eject yourself, you have to pull up two levers on both sides of a seat, it means to let go of a stick which he could not do....i hope he's ok, there is a chance....

[alexnefi]

@lukeoregan88

dont lol at that! I mean, would you lol if your brother falls of a cliff and dies? NO!

This is not lol.

Anyways, I hope the pilot survived =S

[Deltapilot96]

@alexnefi he did :D with a broken leg and an fractured hand

[alexnefi]

@Deltapilot96 yay

[rocketdog2116]

I saw a thing on discovery chanel and it turns out that the fly by wire computer had a glitch and the piolt did survive

[simpledudeable]

Is any good landing one you can still walk away from?

[Mushkill666]

@simpledudeable yes

[TheDeViLlIeR1]

looks like there was a small possibility that the pilot could have survived, did he? what exactly caused the crash?

[Deltapilot96]

@TheDeViLlIeR1 he survived at least :D

[TheDeViLlIeR1]

@Deltapilot96 that's good

[41100sue]

shit...

[londia2009]

I THINK THEY NEED A NEW PLANE OR a GOOD MECHNIC! HAHAHA. HOPE THE PILOT WAS OK

[Sidtan33]

not a bad landing an accident

[thezorba1]

A tin of polish will sort it out.....

[MrTRex777]

Thats not a landing, thats a crash!

[panictactics]

Why didn't the pilot ejaculate from the cockpit?

[sablatnic]

He had his hands full. And probably his pants too. Prototype plane with software issues. And yes it was a Gripen.

[airman193]

you mean, "eject"? haha. no offense =)

[DonnyaLaysen]

this plane is not light. over 20 t ;-)

the pilot just fucked up

[Biller02]

This was a test, after 5 hours of high altitude testing, but the computer failed with pilot error in the landing.. Discovery Channel : Destroyed in seconds.

[Kamikaze239]

OK man, thought it was an rc plane at first

[markvinas31]

he just wasted that costly gripen? is that a gripen?

[EDDVHAJ]

yes it is

[xoio]

LOL,

He'd have been 'gripen' his ass cheeks together going through that mess up!!

[mrhaydon]

@xoio

you made me lol so hard with that comment

[xoio]

:-D

[Luckyman418]

it seems so...wat a shame he destroyed it

[seantib]

That's totally out of control looks like a malfunction of some kind, surely a military pilot could not be that bad?

[Wambatkilla]

hope they were fake missiles or boom!

[Wambatkilla]

Lo fucking L man thats a fighter jet

[lemonrind]

This looks like every landing I make in MS Flight Sim.

[ploopsy666]

ive seen cars roll...but i have never seen anyone roll a plane before...

[panictactics]

the pointy end.

[TheGodParticle]

Glad to hear he survived. looks like the cockpit snapped off pretty early in the crash. very lucky indeed

[DonkeyBonrProduction]

nah, thats not the cockpit. thats the pointed front of the plane.

[drewmutt]

He probably lost his deposit :(

[buybygb]

That's not a bad landing...

that's a crash.

[boeingace1618]

lol not sure if you would call that a landing at all!

[johannes969]

realy bad landing

[twoaxis]

it was a swedish test pilot who flew this prototype of the saab gripen, computers failed and he tried to save the prototype,

[tuca999]

..that´s why still humans should fly aircraft, not computers...

[twoaxis]

you're completely right

[Faucon551237]

Yeah of course. And me I'm the US president (Obama is just a cover, so nobody can know I'm the president).

[paranoidandroid1995]

its not the pilots fault. the eurofighter is a piece of flying shit. it was built to be efficiently aerodynamic, its incredibly unstable and hardly has an airfoil. if it loses engine power, it becomes a rock.

[panictactics]

Thanks for this piece of wisdom. Pity it's not a eurofighter.

[alstonbarnes]

wow you can see him eject at 0:19. very good timing to eject!!

[pmgodfrey]

- @ alstonbarnes -

Watch the video again. Tell me what position the plane is in at 19 seconds? Nearly rolled over. What would happen if he ejected when "nearly rolled over"?

What I think you saw was a piece of the left wing. I think he tried to control it, but ejecting is not an "instant" thing. There is a slight delay, blows the canopy off, ejects pilot - etc.

He would not have had time to calculate all the factors in to eject safely.

[panictactics]

He didn't eject. Idiot.

[panictactics]

Only a dumb shit like you would mistake a piece of debris for an ejector seat.

[TrevaBoarder]

haha alstonbarnes just made you look like a loser :D

[panictactics]

Good on you.

[alstonbarnes]

you know what... i think you are right.. initially i thought that it was him ejecting.. but yea i was wrong...

p.s. im sorry for being a penis!! i guess i just wanted to argue to take my mind off all of my university revision.. :)

sorry dude

[SheebMaster]

Of course the pilot was having some sort of trouble.

[musse73nadTage]

JAS Gripen, glad we chose the F35 instead of that filthy plane from Sweden

[mksck]

this is a servo unit control error.

[Ascent613]

that should have been a go around...

[bassdudeWW]

lol. i agree. was the pilot on crack??

[BuyMEaDriNk43]

LOL from destroyed in seconds...

[goose27]

This happened in the mid 80's. It was the Gripen prototype. The pilot survived.

[davecarlbench]

he did not reduced the thrust that's why he didn't make it..

he must be still a student pilot

[Firefox90]

Or:

February 1989

On 2 February 1989, the first prototype JAS 39-1 crashed on its sixth flight, when attempting to land in Linköping. The accident was filmed in a now famous recording by a crew from Sveriges Television's Aktuellt.

The pilot, Lars Rådeström, remained in the tumbling aircraft, and escaped miraculously with just a fractured elbow and a few other minor injuries. The crash was the result of pilot-induced oscillation (PIO). Extremely gusty winds were also a contributing factor.

[rcairpower]

The pilot created a PIO but shouldn't that have been avoided by the on board computers?

[Firefox90]

Yes, but the onboard computer and the pilots manoeuvres were not synchronised with each other so when the pilot pulled the stick the rudder gave too much output than it would normally give, thus causing the plane to swerve up and then down.

[panictactics]

'Pulling the stick' doesn't control rudder, idiot.

[Firefox90]

Stick, pedals whatever. I just translated a text from swedish to english.

I've been flying simulators for over 6 years i know that the rudder is controlled by the pedals so there is no reason to call me an idiot.

And by the way, judging from the comments on your account by other youtubers you won't be here so long so sayonara.

[thefsxflyer]

For the people that are laughing. I will laugh at you when you die in a plane crash! It will be funny when you are the only one that dies.

[khalilovH]

@thefsxflyer

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOL

[Deltapilot96]

@thefsxflyer he didn't die he survived with a broken leg and an injured arm

[iflyem3535]

@thefsxflyer I'm pretty sure that the pilot didn't die here.

[stenhammarledsbo]

@thefsxflyer He didn't die! ;)

This was one of the first test flights with Jas 39 Gripen, and I think they got some kind of technical problem that made the plane to act like this.

But the pilot survived and the plane was in very good shape afterwards.

[Maverickf22flyer]

The plane had flight control malfunction..., the pilot did his best...!:P

[armanys2003]

nothing to lol about...

this looks bad and it seems flight control failure: one of pilots' worst nightmares.

[Kobeydurham]

lol!!!!!!!!

[davecarlbench]

fake

[thefsxflyer]

how?

[zrathore]

John McCain is a piece of shit.

[stlswat20]

where did you get that idea, and wtf does that have to do with this?

[panictactics]

At least he rode it out to the fireball stage. Real men don't eject.

[ODZADZE]

this is softvare problem with wly-by-wire sistem,causing crash in test flight!!!

[sas378]

The Gripen is a unstable a/c which means it cant fly witohout the computers. It "invertes" the movements from the pilot. The "elephant ears" is working stand alone from eachother and by the help of the computers it tells what to do to keep the a/c flyable. There fore if the pilot tells the compter to turn left, the computer calculates and tells the "elepaant ears" what to do. The movie shown here is a test flight of this new type of steering system and the comp. did some misscalc.

[SXMAviator1013]

what was wrong with it?? why was the jet swinging like that? mechanical problem or what?

[Marky571]

DO A BARREL ROLL!

[furbieguru]

FURBIEGURU APPROVES OF THIS MESSAGE

[RubenCraninx]

He was lucky he wasnt landing on a highway, Sweden has shelters near highways that can be used as rearming bays. The Grifen needs only 5-6 person to fully equip the aircraft instead of other NATO aircraft that will take more than 12 person

[kaleunt08]

is this an eurofighter

[FlyingSwe]

No, its the first flight of the Swedish JAS 39 Gripen.

[Steffen8000]

TO-> justalilrandom

Someone doesn't know what he is talking about, thats a swedish jet (JAS-39 GRIPEN) and the JAS-39 is way younger than the fly-by Wire system, and is actually not one of the first to have that system. The first to have the Fly-by wire system was the F-16. Many plane type's before the JAS-39 has been built with that system. SO BE SURE TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT BEFORE POSTING!!!

Nice evening Everyone.

Steffen8000

Have

[Senseimatty]

That's not very accurate: the first aircraft was the Vought F-8C Crusader. The Panavia Tornado is fly by wire too and is far youger than the F16.

[TntColHugo]

That landing could ruin anybody's day :-)

[Skastraspunto]

pwpw malaka

[ceristjohn]

For 'Greenleader78' - the pilot broke his elbow & had some bruising. Not a fatal accident (the Gripen hasn't yet killed anyone). See 'Accidents and incidents involving the JAS-39 Gripen' in Wikipedia.

[HydroBlast56]

wow really?

[flugfan10]

this fighter isn't so good now

[ballistic76]

I think he stalled the plane right before the touchdown.

[justalilrandom]

erm no the fly by wire system failed, it was one of the first aircraft to use such technology so there were bugs

[BilldalSWE]

One the other hand, when systems are working properly and you really whanna turn, the manouverability is extreme!

BTW the pilot survived whitout even a scratch

[BilldalSWE]

As previous comments sais it was a computer failure which caused the small "front wings" to cease working properly and when that happens(which is VERY unursual since there are 2 more backup computers) there isn't much you can do.. The JAS39 is what u call an "unstable by nature" plane which is a 100% dependent of its computers. The wings changes their position several 100 times a second to keep the plane stable so try doing those changes by yourself..

[greenleader78]

pilot induced oscillation blamed for accident. Pilot bought the farm.

[costateguise]

why does it say (a very bad landing...for a pilot) obviously its a pilot who else is it gonna be?! and there is obviously servere winds and thats why he crashed, gettin blown about all over the place.

[Santiagosony]

what an idiot ....

[9thcannon]

Yeah, it scissor-kicked in the third lap and the tail-rotor stalled...(you can tell by the discolouration of the pilot's tongue)...

when his primary buffer panel failed and he popped the nollie, he was toast... really too bad, i hope he's okay...

-->That's what the rest of us hear... please shut the fuck up...

[dimitrisdrs]

swedish jas-39 gripen,prototype in 1989.

it was a test flight and a ''fly by wire''failure

[deeejaychrissyb]

Im afraid to say its a jet so no torque buddy. Prob a control surface failure or system failure. Shame

[schwantz037]

Yep that is what i would call a bad landing

[abo944]

Unstable approach.

Looks sloppy and slow, flares too high, left wing stalls and drops, he powers up for go-around (check out the afterburner burning) and its too late, corkscrew roll across the deck ....... sad, hope he got out.

[ccoraxfan]

Yeah, you could call that a bad landing I suppose! Does that engine have a bit of torque or something? Never seen a plane corkscrew like that before!

[keegan773]

More of an arrival than a landing

[PaDbass]

was any one killded

[skare91]

wow.... thats a Saab grippen and it got its design-malfunctions. the seat ejects sometimes even when you don't pull the handle.

[SirQmmiseta]

landing? no. crash? hell yeah :DDD

[emiliano8505]

what are you laughing idiots!!

[weirdo666666]

lol smooth

[uteligger66]

lol, never fly Swedish planes..

[iftyshifty]

I dont think you can call that LANDING. or maybe thats the way they do it in some countries.

[LtJon25]

lol ill look into that lol

[Mikeishere1st]

I'm not certain but, seeing how it was wallowing in the air, I think he was just going too slow for that aircraft.

[tilly23]

Thats no Typhoon, its a Grippen, build by Saab. You can see it at the jet intakes.

[JNT11593]

YOU'RE right it is a SAAB JAS-39 Grippen (you can also tell it's one becuase it's single engine the EF-2000 is not)

[aceflyer89]

thats why there is a thing such as GO AROUND dude if you cant fly WALK

[JohnFerns]

kinda looks like a eurofighter a bit.... im only saying so dont bite my head off if u dnt agree

[coastalman226]

I heard that it's a Typhoon, Guy's were getting used to the fly by wire control's here, it was still under development at the time of this crash, FROM WHAT I HEARD.

[tescopink]

you could call it a bad crash instead of a bad landing

[sicchevelle8]

lol crappy eurotrash excuse for an f-22

[patana07]

Looked like he over-compansated at the last second there. Whooooa hooorsy whoooa!

[Senseimatty81]

I quote: It's not a bad landing, a crash landing!!!

[dkorda]

holy shit...

[cricketinsane]

damn....

[Fredamg]

Thats not a bad landing thats a crash landing

:P

[abelroshni]

well, he survived a spectacular crash..the Swededs probably make their planes like their cars...pretty damned solid.

[addew2]

jas gripen...

[SenorSpode]

The F-16 and F-22 prototypes had similar issues, too: Both had porpoising tendencies in ground-effect. Essentially, now they have computers that fly and stabilize them; The pilots' inputs direct the plane, of course, but the computers maintain stability at all times.

[TonyAirlines]

DO A BARREL ROLL!!!!!!!!

[mrspenn16]

Ooooops!

[CharlieVictorRomeo]

This is a Saab JAS 39 Gripen. This is the 6th flight of the prototype, a failure of the flight contol system caused the crash, Feb 2, 1989. THe pilot Lars Radestrom was unhurt excep for a broken arm. Radestrom crashed a second Gripen on August 18, 1993 during an air show over Stockholm. He survived that one also, this second accident was blamed on "flight control system high amplification"

[musefeederwolfmother]

the words too much and time spring into mind

ne1 betting tht hes american?

[ubcs109]

its a JAS......so no, i doubt hes american, but seeing as ur from the uk, i wouldnt expect anything less then a gay comment like yours about americans

[musefeederwolfmother]

im frm fukin scotland

its only english folk who say there frm uk or britain

[ubcs109]

so why does ur profile say ur from the uk

[musefeederwolfmother]

because the geniuses that made up this thingy put it as 1 country which they r not the uk is 4 countrys

[tims18]

no one qualified to fly a military jet could be that bad, surely. jet's fault I say

[tobymoua]

he died...

[mladjo23]

grippen

[LONGIRAFFE]

do these aitcraft have fly-by-wire because it looked like very bad control surface response. maybe not pilot error??

[Pater260450]

kurwa jaka kraksa

[Pater260450]

o ja pierdole on juz jest dead

[oskioscar]

no nie, spoko, gosciu nadal zyje... ale pilot z niego to raczej chujowy:P

[reaverswe]

Its a Saab gripen swedish crash landing.. I think something was wrong

[FoXakaFoX]

oh fuck. that was terrible to whatch.

i hope the pilots or the pilot is without any hurts!!

[JIBB01]

OH SHIT I JUST BOUGHT ONE!

[eddmaster9]

OMG!!! :O

[omarnumba2]

thats pilots fault big time

[joelnorberg]

This wasnt a pilot error it was a test flight of SAAB JAS 39 Gripen in Sweden in the erlie 90's. It was a computer malfunction. Until today thertes only been 5 crashes of the plane ever, this one included.

[guilhermetrancos2007]

I think this airplane was one Dassault Rafale

[Sahagunense]

wasn't it a harrier?

[Secretboy8]

i liked the part when the airplane flipped LOL!

[benash04a]

Saab viggen???

[Agent0range67]

No Jas 39 gripen during a test flight.

[trasko666]

The plane is shit ..dont buy it

Thank god you said that!!!, I was
