Massive Aileron Failure

[martinfreye]

Rubbish.

[d73Hify]

somewhere in canada that was funny...

[chiltington]

Poor attempt at humour.

[lucabrasi1337]

I hope he gets well soon!

[RarePk]

DO A BARREL ROLL

[akilisatolitot]

justin bieber fanatic stop hating the song.....

[noof25]

thats a sketchy plane on the best of days.

[koentjuhhhhh]

Pretty sick to post videos like this.

[mattcfi]

Guys an ass

[AlexSlams]

This Pitts S1C (C-GRJS) is owned by Allan MacDonald of Flying High International. Shit video.

[placeyplacey]

Annoying songs..

[699backstab]

cancer to posters family

[highlo3517]

Skills? Hey look left stick... pull up and regain altitude.... hey look left stick again.... and pull up and regain altitude... and hey guess what left stick bet you didnt see that coming and pull up and level off.

[warmfreeze]

@highlo3517 kinda like nascar ...HEE'S MAKIN ANOTHER LEFT TURN!! :-P

[jwigiMT]

hey here's a question FAR part 61 says that any pilot performing acrobatics is required to have a parachute right? He was pretty high up. Plenty of time to jump out and deploy. Not quite sure if this one is real. But if im wrong feel free to correct me.

[jwigiMT]

@jwigiMT or is it part 91? i forget

[Colt357B]

Videos like this, make me sick

[KiDFRANKKK]

i hope you know hes trollin

[hunterTS4]

that would be called a roll......and BULLSH

[Larryproudfoot]

Mandos, you have a problem, but not a Flying problem, ... a life problem !! Hope by this time you are doing fairly fine. Stop lying to your friends, .... that helps.

[flyergp65]

no one died I checked it out you dumb ass!!

[SenorSpode]

This aircraft is featured in EAA Chapter 1410's April 2009 newsletter, with its article written by the pilot. What is the point in faking obits like this?

[deimos2k6]

limp bizkit suck dick

[Darthbelal]

I'm thinking instead of a smile all the way down, a pilot losing ailerons would've filled his underwear all the way down, but I could be wrong.........

[DrFelegis]

fuck you

[pqwilrj]

OP is a huge faggot.

[lonedoghowling]

There is no bullshit on youtube?

[727freak]

BULL SHIT!

[699backstab]

faggots the whole lot of you. religion is evil

[lumpy3553]

Be fair guys , this person probabally did loose his buddy ! I wouldnt want to be his buddy either if he made a stupid video like this of me ! !

[bagelsareawsome]

Hmmm All Aerobatic are required to were parachutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bagelsareawsome]

Hmmm All Aerobatic are required to were papachutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GetSum951]

and I suppose he lost the rudder too?

Hmmmm I call bullshit.

[GutpileCharlie]

I've seen this a number of times. From the video......I call bull shit.

No accident report? If the a/c was out of control, why didn't the person taking videos keep on recording.

This is sick posting this kind of shit.

[stopglobalswarming]

Limp Biskit sucks

[maverickthebastard]

You fucking wierdo!!!!!!!!!!1

[belanger20]

bullshitter

[OlRooter]

Stupid phuqers. Fake as shiat.

[eckels3000]

ur so full of shit, weirdo, this is probably pictures of you.

[king7wood]

Oh, the humanity!

[cosgarcia]

Misleading Title

[paulsnyder]

how do you lose aileron control> haha

[sxmadrid]

Attention seeking sicko - has no buddies.

[SenorSpode]

No documentation of either aircraft depicted as having crashed. Stop wasting our time.

[metube336]

"Music" sux too...

[mathyu0179]

 how fucking gay

[WolfgangPain]

@ejuoi yes he was rofl

[reversecuban]

I know this airplane (1981 Pitts S-1C) and I know the pilot, both are alive and well here in southern alberta, how pathetic.

[JackerNo2]

I saw the ayleron fall off. Biplaines shoud not turn like dat they r not allowed two.

[Phreedz]

@JackerNo2 when did you see said aileron fall off, and they are allowed to "turn like dat"

[ejuoi]

dude where you raped as a child? why would you make a FAKE video of a friend dying?

[slacker361]

what is the matter with ppl rolls is not aileron failure geeeez

[ginza0088]

God awful "music" (if you can call that music)

[nimrob]

moron

[nitojo7]

were the rest off this vid, like the crash portion. What a tease.

[bronco8585]

Then there must be aileron failures every day! haha. How can we believe this??

[childsca]

Even so the person wouldn't have died. He was plenty high up and in a slow enough roll he would have jumped. There is a reason you always wear parachutes :D

[xulasx]

almost made me cry -.-´

[Mr0peter0]

BULL SHIT he was doing a roll

[Phi750]

GRJS

From Alberta Canada

2003 11 27 was the last annual !

[Mr0peter0]

annual what?

[Phi750]

last annual inspection

maybe was the second roll

after they cut the record

[rafvdbosch]

ye ur rite its aerobatic anyway

[yes333yes]

sooo he lost control due to aileron failure? Was the failure due to mechanical problems or pilot error? And is your answer just conjecture or the findings of a report? Sorry to ask some many questions but it is intriguing. I'm respectfully sorry for your loss, especially if you had to witness it!

[RobertGary1]

Not a US registration so I don't know how to bring up the accident report. Did the aileron jam in the deflected position? I would be interested in reading the report.

-Robert, CFII

[kieranprotsmith]

twat prick what a crock of shit

[pabletediaz]

FAKE

[nz3rdsqr]

i know the feeling lost a mate at the start of last year. heli vs plane. no one waked away. three pilots dead. worst day of my life.

[stuka101]

RIP unlucky he didn't recover. More training needed perhaps. non the less RIP

[TJYYGZUB]

sorry man if you did lose him. RIP.

[rednekk58]

sorry for the lost of a friend.

[pilotjanmanpeterpan]

It is not a good thing to play with the dead you will go to hell bitch!

[sergiomorales]

if u are a pilot, and u cannot recover from that! u deserve to die :)

[Dooobs]

haha

[unclesara]

fake

[RippedWookie]

You probably wouldn't have the slightest clue you dumb shit. That's a nice response though, you sound like a faggot ass 16 year old who wouldn't even be eligible to attain a license or know enough about aerodynamics to have a clue about what I was talking about. Please do yourself a favor and stop posting comments that I would be so unfortunate as to read.

[JaleelJohanson62]

Very sad, but somebody has to push up the daisies in the spring.... lol

[RippedWookie]

He should have been able to recover with that massive rudder and power...

but RIP anyways.

[quantumleap7219]

I still can't stop crying. What a tragic and horrible death for your good friend. I'll never be the same after seeing this video....so graphic was the crash.

[av8rdav]

I'm gonna sue you for wasting 60 seconds of my life!!

[siresoul2]

the guy said aileron failure ok that could be alot of things

[abarcafuck]

don't try at home HAHA

[phonix032]

hes probably pulling immelmans up there in heaven...........RIP have fun

[johnnyjet33030]

This is not the crash-these pics are before it happened on a different day. Its a memorial to the lost friend.

[rreidnauer]

Perhaps then this video should be properly titled.

[FSXisFUN]

why would you lie about something like that?...

[Macsgrafs]

total BS

[AdrianNtart]

WTF what so according to this guy... the aircraft rolled cos he lost aileron power? :S

[acp58]

"Aileron failure" - bad joke. A Pitts need aerobatics!

[tjunior6252]

retarded

[camp69]

Fairly nice barrels, too much slip though. Definitely not snaps as would happen with aileron failure.

[Bloodgod40]

This is BS. If he really crashed there would be an incident report on any of several online databases that list any and all air crashes in the world. His tail number did not throw up any incident report. The tail number of the other plane shown towards the end of the video didn't bring up anything either.

[stiksnpix]

yeah...god allmighty find something better to do with your time, for your own sake lol

[CrabtreeGuitar]

I like how some people have multiple accounts just so they can vote thumbs down. Guess it fits though.

[robertgift]

This video is aircrap.

Nothing wrong with that aircraft.

[FBK289]

@robertgift no i didn't notice any incident in these videos either but it is a video dedicated to a fallen friend, why put someone down for that?

[smith45acp]

@FBK289 Because it's a lie?

[ahamay2012]

What a bullshit! You fool us!

[skiflight76]

Like shess0501 said, Pitts C-GRJS is still flying in Canada. On a side note, would you really put limpbizkit music at the beginning of a memorial to someone? ...... didnt think so.

[adam3176]

The plane looked fine to me!

[Lamorock]

First off that is a fully acrobatic plane, Control surfaces that bind or lock tend to happen at full travel although that is insanely rare. That roll rate is no where near full travel. An Aileron did not break off. So no cable break no flutter. And to top it off if that guy really did crash which there is no proof because of the video, why was he not wearing a chute. Any pilot with a brain wears one if they are going to play around, especially if you own a plane capable of 6+ positive gs

[bryannastebbing]

i think its a fake we will never know il look to see if there are any other videos

[tailwheelflier]

shame he didn't counter the rolling action by pushing forward,,and pulling back as he was rolling,,,keeping it flying somewhat level until he could "unlock" the aileron.  That really sucks,,,,got me thinking,,,with that kind of altitude,,,you have plenty of time to freak out and get really freaking scared. Suck's in the worst way.

[bryannastebbing]

if his aileron was stuck why didnt he counter it with the rudder?

[ReisendeEuropa]

in most sport planes there simply isnt enough rudder to completely counter the ailerons.

[PilotJamesD]

thats the way id like to go

die doing something you love doing

[GigibenRoma82]

great thing... people die and we a thinking how we can waste our time tryng to find a way to break the balls to next one....sorry 4 my english but... i think it is stupid.. r.i.p GOD beneath him

[savatage75]

no pilot chute????

[dratorent]

if i have to choose

this is the way i want to die

fly hi

[bobdagangster]

obvious troll is obvious

[yakcrasher]

if you guys want to argue then prove that he did or didnt die okay

[Marksman42]

Really? What kind of friend says "I'm sure he had a smile on his face the whole way down". Wow.

[bamasbulldogs]

Thats the way I feel, If I die flying, well its a good way to go. Doing what I love most!

[meggark]

Agreed, but when things go wrong it's still terrifying.

[toiletwhopper]

hes not dead.

well he might be but his plane didnt crash.

[hotyute]

he doesnt even say a fucking name, no details or nothing, use your head for once

[hotyute]

wtf that guy didn't die, that plane would never have had an aileron failure so easily

[qolaxbenchwarmer07]

What are you an A&P? chords break buddy....

[hotyute]

he didnt die -.-

[qolaxbenchwarmer07]

how the fuck do you know

[hotyute]

no one died idiot i know this guy is just a fucking random guy who posts shit to try to make ppl feel sad...totally random, go try to look up this acciedent some where on the internet and u will find nothing on this

[qolaxbenchwarmer07]

lol ok w/e you say..i dont care that much to check

[TonyAirlines]

LOL

[OzParkPilot]

i cant believe you would ever post something so terrible as that if he died.... you suck !

[Georgestuffs]

I doubt this was your friend..

[JetlinerXPilotXFSX]

RIP

[camomule]

I'm a pilot and the pilot didn't die.  Who are you people who take the time to put up this b.s.? That plane could do that all day and wouldn't cause any failure--unless he's like you on your computer...RIP "buddy"

[crazyryan]

prolly due to lots of fluttering in the space of the aileron and wing. prolly why it failed

[Gamernotnerd]

Best way to die, doing what you love.

[jules1200hd]

This video is a misplaced shame. I am a pilot and hooked up on this site to see screw ups for education, and the rubber neck thing we all cant resist.

This vid stuned me, this is an eulogy and needs respect. Why was it displayed here? This is a race track smash site and only attracts ghouls. If anyone knows the history of this tragedy please mail me, the guy deserves recognition and I am curious to know about him. Just another pilot, jules.

[lusomanada]

name of the song please!

[harper222]

Where have you been in the last decade? lmao

[docrw]

It's fake

[SublimeForever]

interesting what you said about having a smile all the way down... you really meant that

rest in peace

[bonham2112]

I take it that all the people hurling abuse at each other over this footage are not pilots.

[marshmellow377]

all i can say is atleast he died doing something he enjoyed instead of stuck in a car or something like that!

rest in peace dude!#

you won't be forgotten.

[fayik123]

it sad when this sort of thing happens. ALot of the time it is usulaly down to poor maintainence. that failures occur. I have often wondered why more pilots in light aircraft dont have bail out gear as it isnt hard to bail out of a light aircraft with parachute. my dream is to town a cessna 172 and if i ever do i will carry a parachute in the rear seat for high altitude water crossings

[qolaxbenchwarmer07]

dude this video is sad....

[paulbryson]

I know this was over a year ago (looked at upload date) but I still feel your pain, man. Take care, and keep flying safe.

[kinza999]

I lost my best friend flying. I saw the whole thing so I know what you're going through.

All the best to you and your friends family.

Pete

[fb2800]

BTW Looks like a Pitts SI do they suffer from flutter or something else went wrong with the ailerons? Pitts are normally rock solid and should take a lot more than this.

[fb2800]

As a newish sport pilot myself this is sad to see. But as romantic as the sub title is I'd be very surprised if this poor guy had a smile all the way down. Pure terror perhaps. but a smile definitely not!

BTW I don a helmet and chute every flight, I'm one of very few that do! In fact other pilots mock me. That's ok, I still wear em.

[madeljacky]

And i agree with you 100% about wearing a helmet and chute. You dont get second chances in this game.

[jeffgooloolie]

Editing out the crash makes this video pointless. I want my minute back.

[radudman]

U piece of shit. go fuck your self. this is a video showing how he misses his friend, not showing u how he died. fucker.

[marshmellow377]

alright no need for the abuse, cunt

[marshmellow377]

and what you chatting about it is how he died?

[radudman]

i believed i responded 2, jeffgooloolie's comment did i not? if i responded 2 urs the sorry, but he was being a dick, he goes :editing out the crash makes this video pointless, i want my minute back." so i commented back on him. he is a dick.

[marshmellow377]

ok sorry for the abuse in the comment i left i appologise

[radudman]

You are forgiven XD

[ketchikanmike]

Thats why it is important to wear a chute when flying acros, gives a 2nd chance.RIP my friend

[07PaulyShore07]

the failure happened at the end, where he kept rolling

[Claireshome]

Ha! What a loser! With a face like that, he deserved what he got.

[yasserthekid1]

what an asshole.. people commeting like you do deserve that kind of crash

[airplanefreak25]

i agree with you yasserthekid1 =)

[Tribute123]

Rest in peace man... damn thats really bad

[sundog47]

I didn't see the failure on the video.I assume it was edited out.Sorry for your loss. Aeroidiots like myself all know the risk and accept the possibility that some day some 10.00 hinge pin or the like will tip over on us.I wear a chute just in case I don't die. It really makes the relatives feel better.

[kitepilot]

As a former skydiver and a experimental flight instructor and GA Private Pilot I'd like to point out that doing aerobatics REQUIRES a parachute. Not wearing one is like racing motorcycles in shorts, a tanktop and a baseball cap. I bet his family would have prefered that he wear one. Why did he not have one or not use it if he had it?

[WildLomcevak]

As an Air Transport pilot, twenty year aerobatic competitor/instructor, and CFI, no, a parachute is NOT required in a single place aircraft.I believe flying without a chute is dumb, but it's legal.The side G's generated by the rolling motion were higher than they appear, so escaping the Pitts' tight cockpit may have been difficult-no pilot wants to abandon a bird if he feels there is any chance of recovery.Second-guessing a pilot is easy, knowing what you'd do in the same situation???

[kitepilot]

I respect the response thanks. I will look at the AIM for the requirements, Im sure you are correct for single place. You are right as far as most pilots go but as a former skydiver I am a bit different in that respect. I meant no disrespect to anyone and I hate monday morning quarterbacks. You are totally correct about the sideloading Gs too. I worded my response poorly. I feel bad for this pilot that went down. Terrible loss. You can get another plane but you only get one life.

[agcatdriver]

I'll save you the trouble, look at FAR 91.307 (C). Shortly stated, all occupants OTHER than crew members are required to wear parachutes during aerobatic flight. I will agree though that its just not smart NOT to wear one. Had your friend been wearing one, he might still be hear with you today. Hindsight is 20/20, though. Sorry for your loss.

[Adveniotu]

He's right, not only are chutes not required in single place planes, I believe the crew does not have to have one either; just passengers. I fly with a chute 100% of the time, and make my passengers wear one as well. This is unfortunate.

[SineCalvin9]

RIP... but, parachutes are good. i never fly acro without one.

[phml123]

ki podre!!!

[anticommon]

durn, get a parachute incase you fall, and a large stepladder, we need to get to heaven here.

[marshalbuff]

Ye man RIP

[4860555]

damn...rest in peace
