2014 is turning out to be a bad year for forced landings and crashes

 

[frfly172]

No injury reported,that's a good thing.

How many club lengths of relief does one get from an airplane?

 

[N801BH]

How many club lengths of relief does one get from an airplane?

Depends if the hazard existed before the tee shot..... or after........

With the aircraft in the water it's a two stroke penalty and ya hafta take a drop...

 

[Texastaildragger]

No relief, play it as it lies.

I like how the article said it "landed upside down."

That'd be a real trick in a Piper Sport!

 

[SixPapaCharlie]

it's a gimmie

 

[SixPapaCharlie]

It had to be intense getting out of this.

 

[ChemGuy]

if that happens you have the rest of your life to get out.

 

[SixPapaCharlie]

Not so sure

 

[AggieMike88]

"landing at Addison" and "Piper LSA".... someone better go count the aircraft over at US Sport Aircraft at ADS....


Should we be adding a "Spare Air" to our MELs?

 

[Pedals2Paddles]

FOUR!

 

[Fearless Tower]

Maybe he can use a mulligan?

I've done wreck diving, but I still be in a new environment trying to get out of this one!

I hope my diving experience will help me if I ever find myself in this situation.

does water count as a prop strike?

 

[SixPapaCharlie]

Good question.
I bet it does. Water has lots of surface tension and can be hard

 

[Anthony]

Ohhhh, Billie, Billie, Billie Barooo..............

 

[Shepherd]

Good question.
I bet it does. Water has lots of surface tension and can be hard

And is totally non-compressible.

 

[Clark1961]

And is totally non-compressible.

no it's not! the compressibility of water is about 3 x 10^-6 v/v/psi

(the engineer in me made me type that...)

and yes, the compressibility is important when dealing with large volumes and large pressure drops, something like the east Texas oil fields...

 

[timwinters]

You're a frackin' nerd!

 

[Clark1961]

You're a frackin' nerd!

guilty as charged

I've derived, coded, and utilized the relevant aquifer performance equations...

and I don't do that stuff anymore...

You're a frackin' nerd!

Hah! Well played, sir! -Skip

Ohhhh, Billie, Billie, Billie Barooo..............
