In before the guy ranting about "rich guys" and their "elitist toys" who should kill themselves by ditching in the water.
IIRC that was quite a purse-swinging thread a while back. |
|
I like how the guys are just sitting there playing volleyball like nothing's amiss... until the plane flips the fuck over, then they seem to act like "hey, this is not a normal thing!"
|
|
Other than the kid getting a minor conk on the head, it was a good landing. The pilot walked away uninjured.
|
|
Overhyped.
Textbook emergency landing.. If the surf had not come in he would not have flipped over. More crowded of a crash sight than I would have picked, but he may not have had a choice |
|

Dumbass reporters. If you hit someone the spot you landed wasn't clear.

Source I can't see the video but I have to question landing on a beach with lots of people around. View Quote It looked like he made an effort to avoid the people. The beach was empty where he touched down, and he steered into the water. Why don't you help the dupe police have an easy day, and fix your title. It's a beach. Nobody is going to search for "beachy". |

About 2 people, 3000 miles away, that I have never met (fuck, I don't even put any thought into family I never met).

THEY WERE IN THE WATER http://www.ntsb.gov/_layouts/ntsb.aviation/brief.aspx?ev_id=20140727X14613&key=1 "The private pilot and the pilot-rated passenger were not injured; however, a father and his daughter in shallow water near the shoreline were fatally injured." "The pilot saw groups of people along the beach, and attempted navigated around them. He then aimed for a spot where he thought there were no people, and landed in the water near the shoreline." "At the time of the accident, the wife was near the shoreline, "catty-corner" to the water, with her husband and daughter about 10 to 15 feet directly behind her in about 2 ½ feet of water. The two had been standing, but bending to use strainers to collect shark teeth from the bottom." |

View Quote The reason I was pissed because I can see myself and my daughter playing the surf, so I can relate. The other reason I was pissed is the pilot thought he could thread the needle between groups of people on the beach instead of ditching. Why didn't he ditch in the water? He was scared the plane would flip and his life would be in danger. So, he decided to put other people's lives in danger. Which is bullshit. |

We have a guy here who landed his plane on a road after an in-flight problem.

But that's kinda hard to do when your engine goes out and you're not near an airport. At a certain point you just have to take a bite out of the shit sandwich and try to put it down where you're least likely to die. |

Your first duty as a pilot is to make sure that you and your passengers if you have any make it out alive in an emergency. What happened was tragic, but there's nothing anyone could have done.
On a fixed gear aircraft, if you ditch in the water, you're gonna be cartwheeling the second your gear digs in. Cartwheel fast enough and you get knocked out by G forces or the aircraft gets ripped apart, and you wake up disoriented, upside down, and with no way out... Or you don't wake up at all. He took a bite out of the shit sandwich, and unfortunately someone else got killed. It's not like he aimed for them. Hell, he probably didn't even see them. Downward visibility sucks close to the ground. |

If that was my son , I would dragged that pilot out of the plane and punch him in his face.

In before the guy ranting about "rich guys" and their "elitist toys" who should kill themselves by ditching in the water. IIRC that was quite a purse-swinging thread a while back. View Quote This isn't some rich guy with a plane. It's a POS banner plane that lost the engine and TBH, the guy probably should've put it in the water given the amount of people on the beach. He was probably a low time pilot though, since that's who dose those jobs normally to build flight time. Before you ask what I'd do, I'll tell you. I had a guy get his chute hung on the tail of a plane I was flying for a skydive place and lock the rudder and elevator, only leaving the ailerons. I had a chute and thought about bailing out, but there was a good chance it would've crashed into one of a number of neighborhoods below. I stayed with it and landed it safely because in the end, it's my responsibility to not hurt other people. This guy took a huge risk to save his own but when he could've just as easily put it just off the coast and not risked any lives on the beach. |

Got to do what you've got to do. View Quote Not in this situation, he could've and should've gone in the water. It was nothing but luck that he didn't kill someone on the beach. I get it though, they aren't really that high to begin with and a bit of adrenaline sets in and the first thing you do is look for a place to land. Either way, he's lucky he didn't hurt anyone. |
|
IMO, he should have ditched in the water or gone for the 2+ mile long, 4 lane road that is about 30 feet away from where he put down.
Where a lot of people are walking around seems like the very last place you would want to land a plane. Just glad nobody died. Kid gets to tell a heck of a story too. How many people have been hit by a plane? Given California's knee jerk reactions by government, that is probably the end of planes towing banners over the beach. |

Few years back, a male beach jogger with ear buds in was beheaded by wing of an emergency landing due to prop bladder burst that covered windshield in oil. IIRC, he was the lone Joe on the whole winter beach.

Quoted: Quoted: Really only two reasons why an engine "loses power", contaminated fuel or no fuel. Yes, really. You should look at the statistics of aircraft crashes, especially light civil aircraft crashes. It was covered in the light civil portion of my aviation management classes. I know it doesn't apply in this case, but in most cases when a plane crashes and there's no fire then it was out of gas. |
