  • "English is the universal language of aviation no matter where you are in the world. " No it isn't. I'm a VFR pilot in Germany and I never communicate in English, it's all German. I could use English if I wanted but it's uncommon. English (really: any ICAO language) is mandatory for IFR, but not so for VFR, and many countries in the world prefer the local language. The more rural the airport the less likely English will be understood.

  • Where are all the parachute hating pilots in the comments? Usually even a success story isn't enough to deter them from bashing anyone who considers an airframe chute or even an emergency bailout chute.

  • 1st he says calmly that he had to pull his parachute but the second time he's like "Papaloony is about to die, ya ho's. Answer, BITCHES " !!!!!!

  • @keven50

    100 degree bank after the collision, most likely not on purpose. I'd say the panic paid off. It's a lot easier to pull the red handle than learn how to fly a crippled plane in the 8 seconds it takes to become a lawn dart. He walked away without a scratch.

  • Don't know why he used the chute, didn't look like the plane was structurally damaged nor out of control after the cable strike. Wonder if the pilot just panicked.

  • Rough landing.

  • @lavakava Tis true! My plane will sure as hell have one of those...maybe even two!

  • @stevenfirst

    Safety and human life is far more than $10000. If the aviation schools, FBOs don't want to pay $10000 for parachute, then they better fork in $300000 for a diamond aircraft.

  • I really want to know what happened to the glider that dumbass was pulling seems like it would have been dragged down

  • Because then old planes would have to be retrofitted with new equipment to stay legal and who is going to spend an extra $10,000 on a $15,000 aircraft?
