I had the same thought.Did he actaully pull the power fully on touchdown? He was on the ground long enough to slow down. Seems like power was left in.
Then how do you explain the "climb out"?I think the landing woke him up
If I recall correctly, I believe that one was caused by the pilot having a medical problem.I've posted this one before:
Not "weak", just has limited ability to roll over rough bumps and holes on a grass strip without pole-vaulting the airplane.And they say RV Nose gear is weak...
OMG yeah, I didn't watch the whole video.Then how do you explain the "climb out"?
If you scare the absolute bejesus out of yourself, it helps to take a little time before you try again.Easy landing to save at multiple points and then why did he just fly away?
Yup. Good point. Been there.If you scare the absolute bejesus out of yourself, it helps to take a little time before you try again.

I wonder if he was flying by perceived speed, instead of using the airspeed indicator.Amazed it didn't end up badly with as many bounces from the PIO as they had. Almost certainly had too much power left in, with likely a stiff headwind. Plane still wanted to fly with the little bit of power left in.
He certainly got his currency requirement in one pass, lol.How many take off and landings can he get credit for there?
No.Does an rv9 require flaps during takeoff?
Embarrassed? At one point he was so low I thought he was going to end up in the power lines.OMG yeah, I didn't watch the whole video.
Um, that was bad. Easy landing to save at multiple points and then why did he just fly away?
Looks more than 10* to me. Too much energy in any RV is a recipe for float or in this guy's case enough for that bump to make him airborne which coupled with poor technique turned into a PIO.Looks like he had 10 flaps in. In my 9, if you have an extra 200 rpm it’ll stay in ground effect and not land. Especially if you don’t have all the flaps in. Terrible technique. Most of us 9A people never touch the nose wheel down until you have to let it settle.

In my -8A, I flare every landing and touchdown is at stall speed, no bounce. Short final is right around 63 knots.- YouTube

It’s best not to flare these planes. Landings are smoothest when you fly them into the runway. Touchdown for me is usually 10 knots above stall speed.

No and no. He should have carried less speed and power, kept the nose higher (bring it to critical AOA in the flare) and not reconfigure until at taxi speed. RVs use so little runway that there is no need to dump flaps.Should pilot have retracted flaps immediately at touchdown to reduce lift and bouncing? Dangerously low climb out. Does an rv9 require flaps during takeoff?
You must have watched on mute because the power up for the go around was pretty clear and obvious.Maybe the throttle was stuck. It looks like the same power setting was used for the landing and the go-around.
Would you want to face anyone who just watched you do that?why did he just fly away?
I did find this just now in the comment section of the you tube video:If I recall correctly, I believe that one was caused by the pilot having a medical problem.
OK, here is the real story behind the accident.
The Pilot, Mr. Daryl Dyer, the owner - operator of the Fisher Celebrity, was an
experienced pilot, aged 60, who was flying to the airshow. He had been under
treatment for a condition the nature of which I have not been able to ascertain,
but it involved his being prescribed, and taking, at least two prescription
medications. These two medications, it has been reported, can result in
neurological issues. In addition, he had undergone a PET Scan two days earlier,
and had been administered appx 1 litre of a mild radioactive fluid that acts as
a tracer for the PET Scan.
He came in for the landing, and, in his own words, " .... when I was about ten
feet from the ground, my brain shut down, it refused to make any more decisions,
leaving me to be a passenger waiting for the crash......"
He suffered only minor injuries, but his pilot's medical certificate was suspended
for six months. He has since repaired the aircraft, and resumed flying it.
TMPAWHow in the heck did they have that much excess energy after coming if for the break?
