red750 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Amazing accident video from inside the aircraft - 2 cameras. Caution - a bit gory at one point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDu0jYiz-v8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumman Ace Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Why would he continue when it was never going to climb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest David C Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 This video has certainly gone viral .... It should have been obvious to any pilot that if your lightie needs more runway than a 747 on a hot day it's time to shut the throttle . What a ridiculous display of irresponsible piloting .

sixtiesrelic Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I like the excuse. Sounds like the pilot told the non flier that one. I have seen that 25 seconds seems to be about the norm for a take off. Time them yourself. Jet or Cessna... they seem to be around the twenty five seconds.

What a ridiculous display of irresponsible piloting .Dave C I seem to recall seeing this footage somewhat earlier, but that's by the by. I'm only on the outside looking in (ie a non-pilot) but am I interpreting incorrectly somewhere? It looks to me as though they're well & truly airborne, but for some reason the pilot either cannot, or chooses not to, ascend to a safe altitude. And they were all very very lucky.

siznaudin Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Interesting to see what the "..further examination" reveals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Rough calculation shows density alt would have been over 9000', looking on google and estimating the lift off point from the video (which is hard to tell) looks like they took nearly 1km to lift off... or lifted off and touched down again for a bit .............. no flaps set either?

mnewbery Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 http://www.avweb.com/blogs/insider/AVWebInsider_IdahoCrash_207189-1.html ... Yes I think it's required viewing, along with VFR into IMC. Maybe we should have a new forum called stupid pilot tricks?
