Dukes of Hazard in a Citation? Yeeeee haw!

Hope they weren't hurt too bad.

That was an impressive jump.

I've seen that video before. I didn't realize he was an instructor. How'd you like to have a cigarette burning next to you during your lessons? :lol:

If the student /co -pilot smoked I bet he didn't mind a bit.....

Personally I would not get into a plane /car or anything else with a smoker.:no:

My first lesson (back in the olden days) the instructor gets into the Cessna 120 for the first time, looks around, tells me to taxi over to the FBO. He hops out, runs in, and comes back with one of the ash trays from the lobby... :rofl:

Archerfield Airport (ICAO: YBAF - 27°34′13″S 153°00′29″E) is Brisbane's secondary airport and is located just 11kms (6.8 miles) south-west of the city's Central Business District. Click here to view the airport on Google Maps.

It carries the largest number of general aviation movements of all Queensland airports, has the most aviation operators and flying schools in Queensland and is the home to over 200 aircraft. This, along with it's close proximity to Stradbroke, Moreton and Fraser islands, has made Archerfield Airport a favourite destination for corporate aircraft, charter, flying training and all kinds of maintenance requirements.

Archerfield Airport has a multi-runway configuration comprising two parallel runways in two different directions. Parallel 28/10 runways and their complementing full-length taxiways have sealed pavements. The main runway, 28R/10L, and its supporting taxiway are both equipped with pilot activated lighting to aid night time flying. The 04/22 crosswind parallel runways and taxiways have sealed runway thresholds.

Runways

28R/10L - 1,481 metres long, 30 metres wide, sealed, PCN of 6, PAL
28L/10R - 1,100 metres long, 30 metre thresholds, 18 metre wide central section, resealed March 2005.
22R/04L - 1,245 metres long, 30 metres wide, unsealed.
22L/04R - 1,100 metres long, 30 metres wide, unsealed.

BTW, is that a DC-4 on the east side of the field by the Cessnas?

I don't know what they said in the Brazilian video but I can tell you what the lady says in Spanish
after witnessing her husbands plane being hit by the SUV that ran the stop bar.


She says something to the effect of "SOB car".

You be the judge!
Did this crew forget to lower their landing gear at the outer marker or did they decide to keep it cleaned up till just before touch down.

I'm wondering if ATC wanted them to keep their speed up, so they waited until they slowed down enough to lower the gear?
 
How to fly like a pro: Kirby.

Canopy pops open shortly after takeoff. Fly the plane. Get it under control. Try to close the canopy. Once. No good. Ok, fine. Fly the plane. Land the plane.

Only thing I can fault is closing it while still rolling out (I would have waited til I was stopped), but his tailwheel and intuitive skills are much more honed than mine.

 
Was that Vandy?

Seriously, the pilot pants had to need cleaning after that!

My three recommendations are cut that grass, cut down those trees and watch your density altitude.

I only have one: Get a bigger engine! (Of course, that other stuff would help too...) It doesn't appear that the grass is really that long or thick, though.

It was a girl (lady pilot). Her side of the story is in this thread from June:

Wow! I have to wonder what the more experienced pilots were thinking?
I noticed after watching the video a few more times that the tail wheel appeared to come back down pretty hard, so I'm wondering
if this is what the more experienced pilot meant by putting the nose down (to get the tail wheel out of the dirt).

She did indeed... but decided in retrospect that the whole thing was a bad idea. Sometimes it just takes a real good scare to drive this stuff home.

"Oh dear... Have to 'fess up. Things do come back to haunt one, don't they? This was me, Selina, in GYYF. Of course I have already received this video a few times in the last couple of days. I think it was 1999 or 2000.

What can I say? It was hot, I had 2 passengers and thought I knew more than I did about short field takeoffs. This little field is just outside of Victoria B.C. and once we were in the air we headed straight to Nanaimo's LONG runway to land and assess damages. The only victims, other than my pride, were the gear fairings as I did a bit of landscaping on the way out.

What was I thinking? I sure didn't use correct short field procedures and quickly ran out of room. I knew I was in trouble and also knew I was committed to the takeoff. As we lifted off my right seat passenger, a more experienced pilot (as was the second passenger in the back), was quick enough to yell at me to push the nose down and was ready to do so himself if I didn't. That instinct to pull up is strong especially with the tops of the trees coming at you.

Just about the best learning experience I've every had... And probably the scariest.

Coincidentally I met the owner of this little field this past weekend at a fly-in and we had a little reminisce about my "incident". The field is still in use although I think they have removed a few more of the trees at the end. I don't think I'll be tackling it again although a little voice inside says perhaps I should go back without passengers and do it properly!"

Still, every time I see that video, I'm in disbelief that somebody can be that stupid.

Oops! How did I miss that one?:dunno:

We had this one on page 4 of this same thread. In this case, the NUT was the guy on the ground who grabbed the cable, which pulled it into the rotor's path. see frame grab here:

Well at least I now know who the nut was that took that helicopter apart. :goofy:

It was a gal, and her story is posted here somewhere. They immediately diverted for an inspection of the aircraft and they did hit the tree.

Sorry, I fixed it now. TangoWhiskey also pointed that out. Man, I've had bad luck betting on pilot's gender on this forum. So far I'm 0 for 2, even though I'm betting in 95%/5% odds of guessing male correctly, and still lose. :mad2: I'm definitely not going to a casino until things change.

You can go to the casino, just don't go to the bar looking for a date unless you're really really open-minded. :)
