Holy moley.

My ears hurt, but if you can do it safely why not?

Looks like fun. Well within the capabilities of that aircraft too.

Man, that guy must have really had to take a whiz.

At first, I thought this thread was referring to the descent rate of a Cherokee in a slip.

The pilot of the turbine Caravan where I did my skydive told me of an airplane where they put the prop in beta and point the nose straight down. Is that what is going on here?

 

[Captain]

Prop in beta in flight = OWT

 

[Skylane81E]

Prop in beta in flight = OWT

Depends, such beasts exist.

Nice landing. Do you suppose he has flown that profile before??? Time is money and when you have a bunch of skydivers waiting to pay you, this is the result. You gotta know he goes home with a smile on his face every day!!
