shame on an IGA posted:Take a look at 9:00 That's not too bad, the pilot pulled up and to his left to avoid the risk of flying into a boiler explosion. It's still too drat low. Check the accuracy against a speeding car at 4:12 Now those are some boiler explosions. 0:38 is particularly spectacular. I'd be tempted to fly through that too. Me-163 at 1:50 ! e.

e: ^^^^ I thought that that looked like a 163PainterofCrap posted:I'm looking for that footage of a Jug that flies through the explosion it triggered. Can't recall if there was ever a follow-up story to that footage. Oh man this one also has a guy almost turning his plane into a u-boat while trying to strafe a parked floatplane

This poo poo still happens. We had an F-15E fly right into the loving ground practicing strafing about ten years ago. That was one of only two times I've watched JPRC kick off for real (the other was Bergdahl).

This may be apocryphal, but I’ve heard that after reviewing tapes from Operation Anaconda, a bunch of pilots were post-mission surprised/concerned to realize how many bingo and break-off alerts they’d blown through while doing CAS.

I know in one of these reels I've seen aircraft strafing a German airfield, and the filming plane has to pull up to get over the taxiing Ju 88 it just strafed

I'd bet money that for the next 7 years everyone in his unit would ask him to judge how big random spaces are and if he could fit an Apache through it. "God drat, look how big that crack in the sidewalk is, think you can fly through it?" "Those cars are parked pretty close together, think you can fly between em?"

He wanted to fly B-17s but washed out because from what it sounds like he wasn't good at taildraggers (my dad said all he ever said about his B-17 training was that he landed "short of the runway")

"Oh yee of little faith" This one's always been a close second (volume warning): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3rR8OIkSpA Apache crew shows off for troops at a FOB, performs a 'return to target' maneuver, forgets the air is thinner at higher altitude and doesn't grant as much lift, pancakes into the snowpack, severs the tail, and cartwheels. Pilot and gunner survived with 'minor injuries.'

Oof that video makes me so loving angry; that battalion also ruined multiple aircraft due to widespread poor understanding of an aircraft warning system during that same rotation. Doing airshow poo poo in RC-East is about the most obvious bad decision making you can do. I flew with them out of Sharana during this tour for about a month where the parking ramp is 7300' MSL and many of your local tiny FOB/COPs/FARPs are above that. An excellent reminder that dipshit aviating continues to be a primary contributor to avoidable accidents.

I think a confluence of unit culture, mid-combat-tour comfortability, and every flying organization having someone who has previously gotten away with taking a risk they didn't understand. But drat, this example is hopefully the stupidest thing we will ever see a 64 do.

I think gravity was roughly constant throughout his flying career, which makes it all the more confusing that he'd choose to load full of pax and tail stand like that.

Being a Hind pilot means not having to give a gently caress, apparently. That's how I fly attack helicopters in video games, so they're just living the dream.

http://avherald.com/h?article=4d7a6e9a quote:On May 23rd 2020 Pakistani media are reporting quoting sources within the Civil Aviation Authority, that the aircraft touched down on the runway with retracted gear during their first approach, climbed again and positioned for another approach. Ground observers reported sparks from the aircraft when it touched the ground. Later in the afternoon/evening local time Pakistani media reported scrape marks were found on the runway indicating that one engine had contacted the runway first, then some distance later the second engine, too, with both engines now scraping over the runway until the aircraft became airborne again. I am not a plane person, but I though that landing without the wheels down was something that doesn't happen very often with the Big Planes?

So they gear-upped an Airbus on the nacelles, presumably crushed the poo poo out of the accessory gearboxes, dumped all the lube oil from both engines over the city as they went around, and then stalled it into the ground when the engines inevitably lost thrust because they seized up. Lesson: When you gear-up land an airplane, keep it landed. You already hosed up, but you hosed up in a mild, survivable way. Don’t gently caress up in a spectacular, dynamic, smoking hole in the ground sort of way.

No loving clue what was going on there Approach asks if he's going to land on his belly when he's coming back in after losing the engines, which kinda sounds like there was maybe a gear issue to start with, beyond forgetting to put it down. Who knows though, that's just inference.

Who knows though, that's just inference. Pilot never communicates an issue with landing gear. Controller only asks after his first (engine scraping) landing attempt, presumably because he saw the sparks. CCTV footage of the plane showed it managed to deploy landing gear before it crashed.

Will an airbus allow you to select a landing flaps setting with the gear up?

Arson Daily posted:Will an airbus allow you to select a landing flaps setting with the gear up? I think it will, but I believe it throws out some kind of configuration warning in that situation. In addition, the GPWS will give "TOO LOW-GEAR" at some point, so unless the crew had the GPWS overridden, there should have been more than one warning that the gear wasn't where it was supposed to be.
