Hmm , J200 . Appears to be a relatively soft landing , but interesting that strut appears to have collapsed ! Bob

Not a soft landing, a lot of downward force to collapse that wing.

Doesn't say anything about engine failure in the report ...

Not in that report i referenced but it does in other reports.

 

Says the engine started loosing power, then made loud noises and stopped quickly. That's not running out of fuel last i looked.

Better tighten the power back up then. big_gun.gif.bf32cf238ff2a3722884beddb76a2705.gif

But dazza I thought when you "let it loose" that was full power?022_wink.gif.2137519eeebfc3acb3315da062b6b1c1.gif

He took out his shiny new car and let it loose down the long straight.

You all know the deal,ask the cops, it's their theatre.

Cops don't care. They only investigate further if some one is killed and they need to make a coroners report. You've told us it was not the aircraft, not the engine. So tell us which of the following it was not: Wind, weather, fuel, bird strike, sun glare, medical issue, pilot error or other.

So once again the strength of a jabbawocky saves a pilots life

landing in a wheat field caused the front wheel to collapse and the wing to separate from the fuselage. Imagine the mess if it came down in trees!

I think most of us would have ended up up-side when landing into long vegetation. I say he made a bl**dy good landing and probably broke his wing strut though a very, very low speed stall and almost vertical, but flat, descent into the wheat.

It depends on the vegetation.

But generally a wheat paddock is nice to land in and I would aim for a wheat paddock before I aimed for a pasture paddock, my reason for that is that a wheat paddock obviously has had a tractor and implement over it whereas a pasture paddock can look flat and level but can have a lot more ups and downs and hidden nasties. Yes wheat can hide nasties too but on average it is less likely. I landed in our wheat paddock yesterday, just for the fun of it:ecstatic:

So many folks who flaunt their ignorance it's a worry. I know of three aircraft that landed in wheat (or similar) fields and got wrecked. Two due to rocks and one due to a log. If a Jab went into trees it would do a lot better than most other aircraft. Jabs are know for their tough fuselage.

Hornet STOL vs J200...........I'll bet you wouldn't have landed a J200 in your wheat field by choice ever! I know I sure wouldn't! The J200 has the shorter wing that the 230/430 so is even less STOL(ish) that the J230 which IMHO is as close to STOL as say a C172 is.....

 

Also its just started Spring...so to most would a wheat paddock would look like a soccer field in need of a mow at this time of year I imagine

Ummm as a jab driver I'll take a wheat field every time over trees......I mean if I was able to guarantee between the trees then Ok....but no matter how well publicized the crashworthiness of a Jab I never want to run one head on into a tree trunk or major branch.......That choice is about survival and bugger the impacts to the aircraft.....
