"Gear not down, gear not down" you can tell it's a British aircraft, love the accent.

Finally someone who actually knows what he is talking about!

Right on!

@Janspeed69: Reminds me of the 'Falcon flightsimulator' my brother and I used to play on my dad's Atari 1206 ST (it 's bit late... could be that the type isn't correct)

As kids of 5 years old or so, we new how to fly the thing, but that was it. The only thing we didn't understand was the 'warning' sound, ofcourse, speech-modules from that time weren't as good as today, but until my dad explained what the voice tried to say, we understood it as 'bonnie'

I remember that game!

It is, Simply because this accident happened in a BAe Hawk in the NTFS in Canada.

The noob who said it is an F-16 should stick to trainspotting!

Oh and btw, the aural warnings you hear are from a Hawk too.

Thanks

Brit planes use male voices, hmmm. American and Russian aircraft have "bitching betty" a stern female voice :).

@TheEpicBlob The gear was up. Maximum gear speed in the Hawk is far below the 293 knots when the accident occurred, and the accident investigation clearly said it was up. The warning message is "gear not down" - the aircraft generates this when a sink rate is present, close to the ground, with gear up, to warn the pilots they may have forgotten to lower it. I worked as a test pilot on the simulators for these Hawks; that's how I know.

@NMoulana totally agree man! This is as close as I ever get to the real thing! Fuck planes!

[TheEpicBlob]

@LooseRivet2103 Does it not say "Gear not done, Gear not done"?

As if its just after departure/Touch then the gear would still be down prompting a reminder to retract them?

I may be wrong :D

T6NL is a code for an airplane engine over temperature condition. "T" stands for temperature, the number six refers to stage six, "N" stands for shaft rotation speed in the engine and the "L" stands for low pressure. Stage six refers to the engine temperature and low pressure shaft speed.

T6NL can be caused by many things such as an object being sucked into a jet turbine (such as shrapnel or a bird strike), In some cases it could be a major flight failure such as this one.

Oh my god was the jet ok?

"gear not down, gear not down" sounds like my bossy gps in the car....

"eject at next intersection....."

this video is so trippy, I love the sounds. I watched it when I was high and I can never forget the last seconds when you can see the grass as the planes smashes the ground. This is awesome footage, one of my favorite videos on youtube.
