Abort the landing and then...???
That’s what I was thinking. You can see the instructor or whoever the zoid in the right seat is, to be monkeying around with the power as they were approaching the trees. Didn’t seem to phase them.Dumb asses.
Why even turn back at all? No altitude to make any kind of turn back in either location. Dingus is right!What a dingus. Why not just turn back over the runway...
I mean right when it happened. He went full power and turned towards the trees expecting to be able to climb over them instead of correcting back to the right.Why even turn back at all? No altitude to make any kind of turn back in either location. Dingus is right!
Yeah I don’t know. Not sure why they even elected to go that direction. If they were just aborting, then keep it a closed pattern and go around. Safest thing to do in that situation.I mean right when it happened. He went full power and turned towards the trees expecting to be able to climb over them instead of correcting back to the right.
. resulting in a spin.
Incipient maybe?Not sure it was a spin. Maybe got into an accelerated stall though.
Incipient maybe?
I was suggesting that it might’ve just been the incipient phase of a spin, but maybe he couldn’t get it up...didn’t look like either of them could get it up....whats that big word mean, he can't get it up or sumptin?
maybe they have left turning tendencies
Natural born NASCAR drivers I reckon
Then, it appears the IP pulled power QUOTE]

Yes, but they did save a little gas not going to and staying at full power. They can always look at the bright side, their click count for their video is climbing (I say this as this video was on the red board a while back and the occupants were ok).
You don’t say....That's not the way to do it
Does anyone know if they survived?
Just read through the comments and somebody said the instructor passed and the student was in intensive care and that was written over a year ago.Does anyone know if they survived?
There are times to be patient and let a student learn from his/her mistakes. That was not one of them. The minute they turned significantly off runway heading I would have taken the controls and debriefed what just happened.This video made the rounds some time ago, as others have pointed out.
Plenty to criticize, but I think flight instructors may tend to have a slightly more generous view as to what happened.
Why? Students may not fully realize how instructors have to sometimes walk a fine line: grab the controls too soon, and the student does not get to see the consequences of his or her actions or inactions. Too late, and the result may be a violation, damage to the airplane, or rarely an actual accident.
Here, it looked like the instructor was loathe to take over, possibly verbally coaxing his student to come back to the right, who appeared to be allowing the left-turning tendencies of the plane drag them towards the trees. I think the instructor may have assumed to the end that they could power themselves out of trouble and get over the trees. With tragic results.
Lots of speculation, of course, but that remains my overall impression.

And yet another pice of evidence supporting my "no camera" rule in my airplane. When I ball it up the damn thing's not winding up on Youtube.
