Crazy Pilot takes off on 20m runway

[Tressiensia]

this thing is all wing and no fuselage. that man looks like a stick too.

[cirebackwards1]

That runway is more than 20m. Are you blind?

[Tressiensia]

@cirebackwards1 Runway is, but the T/O looks like 20 meters.

[leneanderthalien]

This aircraft, a Italian built Tecnam P92 is not a stol, only a conventionnal european ultralight (minimum speed 65km/h) : the take off is only short because the strong wind+Rotax 912 engine

[Yugoslavia923]

Hallo, mein Name ist Andrej Ich komme aus Mazedonien, und ich leben derzeit in Edmonton, Alberta, Kanada, und ich bin ein Segelflieger und ich frage mich, wie viel kostet das Flugzeug Kosten / Modell?

Vielen Dank.

[MrFly757]

Pilot pushes throttle up. V1!!! ROTATE!!!! VR!!!

[YaYoAr]

@MrFly757 its V1 ROTATE V2 (V1,VR,V2)

[MountainDweller67]

OMG...what's the rotation speed rating for this aircraft? 15-kts? Geesh! Bet you see a lot of THOSE in Bogota!

[HumeAndBean]

Is that a skyfox?

[hd5770Gamer]

FL240 isn't that a little bit too high for a plane like this?

[christiananarchist]

The 25 knot headwind is what made his day. Of course, I'm sure the STOL capability is very good too...

[Born2BwastedUSMC]

1:53 to get to the point.

[UTubeGlennAR]

Proof positive that some people do have more money than brains?????

[hyboost]

Looks like some nasty cloud cover. What is the maximum wind speed this plane can fly in? Around 40 MPH?

[leneanderthalien]

@hyboost

Minimum speed is 65km/h, take off at 75 to 80km/h

[videocommenter67]

General, your plane is ready. : )

[3dwardXP]

looks like that thing can take off at about 5 knots lol

[dutchbonnet]

He did have a good strong headwind to assist. The airframe was trying to lift off before he got in (check the way the nose was tipping up).

[FSXfan007]

crazy and skilled are very close tom each other, you know...

[genogeno1234]

Is that the Storm Rally with the Rotax engine? I just got checked out in one around a year ago. Very nice plane

[rayquan172]

not crazy at all

[thebuckstopshere79]

lets see him land on the same length runway though. THEN i will be impressed

[arapisg9]

Talk about a quick getaway! awesome flying!

[celeb3000]

@xMJEC no headwind is right, headwind for airflow from front of wing to back provides lift. tailwind provides negative lift

[xMJEC]

@celeb3000 yeah I just realised after I wrote it, my bad.

[avi8torace]

Judging by the tail number I'm assuming this was filmed in Portugal???

Great footage!!!

[HowToVideos16]

WHAT AIRPLANE IS THAT?!

[whealsofsteal]

try doing that with a Boeing 747

[blackedoutx3]

can we say HEADWIND

[robbspace]

in south america they would hire you in heartbeat

[concorde123100]

skilled

[jan8726]

nice runway

[MikemSantos]

Is this between Ericeira and Cabo da roca and controled by Sintra app...?

[bayenne5b]

Look up: STOL Competitions

[GreatWhite85]

@bayenne5b Holy fucking christ man, thanks.

[afgrocks123]

It took the plane 4 seconds to take off! WHAT THE FUCK!?

[360FaTaL360]

1:55 for the Take-Off Thumbs this up so everyone can see it.

[afgrocks123]

That thing could take off of a helipad...

[bodochecker]

like a catapult...

[sleary7878]

Lovely.. the 30 knot headwind helps. Take off is at ~50 knots so he only needed to get 20 knots rolling. Still ballsy.

[holymuledeer]

@telecasterbear it's a canadian unit of measurement called metre. It's also used by other countries in the world as a standardized unit of measuring distances. Hope that helped.

[telecasterbear]

what does 20m mean?

[airwick4u]

@telecasterbear a person is about 1.5-2 m tall, so basically about 10 people lying down head to toe

[robertgift]

Little fuel?

[bryanttillman]

...OK, Jose, she's flyin' mucho bien....let's load up the weed and make the run!"

[bucker26]

Looks like a less than half a ton plane, and the engine sounds like a 2 strokes of maybe only 60 hp.

[wero8a1]

They're not crazy, the airplanes STOL are crazy lol

Greetings!

[thedreamliner2012]

Is that aircraft stock? And what is it?

[indiedavid]

@thedreamliner2012 Looks like a Tecnam Eagle LSA but Paradise and Jabiru also have aircraft that look very similar

[indiedavid]

@thedreamliner2012 Just watched closer, its a tecnam eagle P-92

[fiverats1]

Tailstrike at 3:16?

[MrMadonplanes]

He isn't a crazy pilot, he's a well skilled pilot.

[glavonjagrob]

I can takeoff like him but i can land on just 4m

[64jorthom]

@glavonjagrob Hi, I would like to watch you taking off in that distance. I think you could do it if the front wind is at about 60 mph, by this way, the wind will takie you off. I'll watch your vids later. Thanks.

[glavonjagrob]

@64jorthom OK! The take off on 20m is not that complicated...but i can land on just 4 m!

[59443144]

good Pilot

[mrcheuk40]

the headwind must be high

[daanvanderspek]

@mrcheuk40 yes but also this plane is capable of taking off in 100 meter without winds..

[thedreamliner2012]

@mrcheuk40 Look at that windsock at the beggining. It's almost fully inflated, which, depending on type, can indicate +20 kts. Judging by the quick takeoff, I would say the head wind was 20 to 25 kts with gust up to 30. Hell, just about any small plane could accomplish a STOL.

[plsniper]

The airplane has a very low take off speed that's all. It would be shorter, if the pilot would hold the brakes, apply full power, keep full power for a few seconds and then release the brakes.

[slowpoke96Z28]

thats not a plane! thats a kite on wheels SHAPED like a plane lol. an elephant's sneeze would create enough lift for that thing to fly lol.

[davefordavefor]

@slowpoke96Z28 I was thinking it's more like a tricycle with wings and a propeller. :)

[luisbrrds]

Plane? Ultra light.

[larsonb33]

I could use a man like this for my Colombian import export business, do you know your way to Florida from Columbia?

[TheGentleman4u]

@larsonb33 ...Im the man!

[MynameisElliott]

@larsonb33 Ahahaha.

[3593893]

@larsonb33 HA !!

[3593893]

@larsonb33 To funny!!

[pete5668]

@larsonb33 cocaine? lol

[3801Catcher]

STOVL attempt?

[torch9t9]

Or, as they call this in Alaska, "Tuesday."

[fer1994xavier]

:o



[MrMichaelpsmith]

Light wing loading, good airfoil design, lots of power, and a good pilot. The parking lot takeoff is my favorite. He's up in about 4 car widths! Amazing.

[kellingc]

And I thought a C150 was small.

[mraltay10]

you all guys know that he has a short takeoff because his flaps are down , and the engine pressure of the plane is on his max??

[pogpog28]

L I G H T W E I G H T 

[andresvalentin1]

impresionante viento a contra

[LiQuidNRG]

Tecnam’s are shit.

[Paiadakine]

Nice flying skills. He's living my dream to have my own plane and airport and fly when and how I want too. Thanks for sharing.

[kootenaylad]

Some pretty impressive skills there! A good watch for sure.

[sssoaring2]

i'm sure you could fit that plane on the roof of the house

[TheAtsalakwtos]

There is a lot of headwind.........



[VTSPQR]

Very impressive!!!

[tsbrownie]

I'm impressed. I noticed there's a wall across the threshold? That's scary.

[armbender777]

good coordination u have ' hand and eye..

[doatlife]

ol planeking6 has 2 top comments .. lets chance that for noW! :D

[arturpiloto]

não ha voltas apertadas antes dos 400 pes depois elas acontecem. bons voos mas respeite a maquina.

[DKF22]

this is a toy

[RIcciAir]

i bet he somehow certified his driveway as a very small airport and keeps the plane in his garage xD

[DaBodyGuard13]

Light plane+big engine+decent prop+ground effect=very low takeoff speed.

Notice he wasn't to eager to climb lol

[master117gta]

Approach and landing without flaps? this dude is fucking crazy!

[aussiebug1970]

@master117gta He does have his flaps down - not much flap for sure, but it's there.

[master117gta]

@aussiebug1970 Yes I just realize haha, but it's still amazing :)

[enginotrom]

94 people were expecting and drunk and out of control pilot seeing the title "crazy pilot ....."

[enginotrom]

I could takeoff with that plane in my backyard

[qantas737800]

whats the stall speed? 10 kts?

[dogzout]

@qantas737800 took a look at wikipedia, it's actually 33kts (!)

[TheRoblox11234]

He took off so fast because It is such a light plane... It only has one guy in it...

[rrip1]

I prefer to get off the ground faster than that. 

[MelihAlex]

and now: a engine failure :-s :D

[issueagent]

Youll never get to try that in a simulator...

[TheJonfowy]

Crazy italians. !!!!

[2129261184]

@TheJonfowy They are Portuguese idiot!

[wencroom]

He has done this once or twice before hasn't he?!

[MotorsbyShooter]

Damn good thing the wind is blowing like Hell.

[rfrnet]

how much head wind? 25-30kts?

[BadNiedernauer]

Is it my impression or did he engage reverse thrust BEFORE touching the ground? Another question, does this plane even have a reverser?

[stefankozma]

@BadNiedernauer no reverser, its just a piston! thats just the prop rpm change you can hear when he cuts power.

[DucatiPaso750]

What make and model plane is that?

[sky8ryder642]

wow a homemade runway nice

[1216saab]

anyone can take off like this if the head wind is strong! Its about lift not runway!

[tomview1]

@1216saab Finally some one that understands!! looks like cool fun though!!

[TheJoeWin]

i can land in the back of the truck by crashing into it :D

[k00lkatt]

Beautiful little fun bird. You could find a parking space and just land and grab it.

[zcg3]

Zodiacs do this all of the time...

[planeking6]

ANTI WASTE OF TIME SYSTEM

1:55 FIRST TAKEOFF

2:45 FIRST LANDING

3:00 SECOND LANDING

3:30 SECOND TAKEOFF

4:20 FINAL LANDING

[munky40903805]

@planeking6 thank you sir

[1216saab]

@planeking6 so cleverly done and lmao!

[mossbach]

@planeking6 thankyou man .. there is no sense to see how this guy gets on the plane and take his coffe befor takeoff

[SamuelofR247]

@planeking6 Greatest youtube innovation ever. Every video should have one ;)

[Davmm96]

so i could do that in my backyard...

[1216saab]

Its all about headwind!

[181HondaRider]

@1216saab still just a reg

[tiredlight]

What kind of license you need to fly this baby? A fixed wing PPL or a helicopter license? :-)

[MrMachoMan8]

@tiredlight ha

[NikitaPilotMen]

Portuguese in action! I'm proud of being portuguese!

[boeingdude1]

um.............HOLY SHIT!!!

[accuruneide]

I'm getting to cry. I learnt to fly upon my father's P92 Echo. How many wonderful memories...

Yes! The Tecnam P 92 takes off in few meeters!!! It's an adorable and very fluid aircraft. Love it.

[r472ricardo]

@accuruneide I would like to know how fast this aircraft can get?

[accuruneide]

@r472ricardo well VNE is estimated around 220-250 Km/h, cruise between 120 and 160 Km/h (P92 with engine Rotax 912).

[mammothfire]

This tiny plane must have major problems in wind, it's waaay too light for a plane

[bored1980]

RIP Leslie. He died trying to take off on a 1.3m runway last week.

[r472ricardo]

@bored1980 that man died? When?

[chenoir]

Well, this aircraft is a VLA, with very high lift.And, moreover the wind is very strong (at least 30 kts accordingly to the wind-sock) and it may have used the ground effect, so no wonder he took off that short.

Still it's amazing to watch.

[marlo1204]

paper airplanes need to go faster than that not to stall

[enrique1369]

oh man!

[fukkkkka]

Get up, get up and get down! Jump around!

[FF35Pilot]

he used ground effect to get the plane up to speed after low rotation speed

[paulocamposrj]

Show...Show...

[Spaceace2001]

What was the headwind that day?

[BigCatsWildlife]

To the right of this chat box it says "your reaction" What was yours at 4:24?quick duck to the ground, lol. Looks like a close wing/head tappin pass, lol.

[mrdanieldao]

great vid!!

[MrViralProductions]

reminds me of gta sanandreas....

[davidm540]

Can i try it with a 747 at the same runway ?? ,

LOL P.S. Great video (Y)

[natureman70]

amazing! good job man! that's real STOL! tomorrow i will check it out with my C-172 :-)))

[navistars]

what plane is it ?

[MrBako63]

@navistars It's a TECNAM P92 ECHO SUPER with a ROTAX engine (912 or 914)

[navistars]

whta plane is it ?

[eliezerlorentz]

muito bom... mas o vento deu uma ajudinha né !...

[Caipijito]

This one could land in my backyard

[svorkoetter]

Stall speed's probably around 35 kts, but look at that windsock. He had 15 kts of airspeed before he even started rolling.

[planeking6]

That's not a runway, it's a driveway.

[bayusuputra1302]

@planeking6 that's not a driveway, that's a backyard..

[zitoze]

is good for internacional cocaine trafic

[ez2bhardcore]

drug runner ...

[williamwilbur]

At 4:25 I thought he was going to get knocked over!

[williamwilbur]

0-60 knots 1.5 seconds lol thumbs up!

[TheMegaArchitect]

Hey ! the pilot isn't crazy, He did his job.....

[bamclarty]

Why did he land that far down the runway?

[foxlimacharlie]

legal.. tem que ser bom pra pousar em pista assim.... abraços

[FurballHero]

Not that impressive, The aircraft has an aprox 40 Knot takeoff speed.. so in a 20 to 30 knot headwind this is very doable and easy. Looks like a riot though! great for training.

[azzy314159]

Is there a pitch control on the prop? Or are they fixed and no feather?  He seems to lose speed on landing pretty fast!

[FurballHero]

@azzy314159 because he's in a huge headwind.

[PhrynosomaTexas]

He keeps flirting with undershooting this approach.

[planeking6]

@CalebFilmsPresent It's a Tencam P92.

[CalebFilmsPresent]

what is this aircraft?

[catumbe]

i bet with two people i wouldnt perform like this, but is good for who one wants to feel power and have some emotions, and about the weather, is getting worse, there´s coming a cold front.

[awesomeskierboy]

that runway definitley isnt 20 meters

[skaterman337]

How much Headwind?

[sergio6625]

it must have been also in a nice headwind.. (over 15kts, judging by the windsock at 0:13 ?)

[saltyflapjacks]

I have about 8hrs logged in a P92. Its an awesome little plane. The climb and performance of it is amazing. Dual throttles just sweetens the deal. The only qualm I had with it was lack of a stall horn and pretty bad stall characteristics. 

[KilllerJ]

tht runyway is 20m

[baldeagleism]

Now THATS what I call a quick getaway!!

[tswjxeem]

it's to light of bi-plane. this plane is about 500lbs with the thrust, the plane is light.

[updraft3]

Sooooo craaaazy.....
