Fenestron Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 most stupid pilot i've seen. stupid maybe....... skilled beyond most.....definately. What we seem to forget is that the video was completed without a crash, and that in itself proves that the aircraft and the pilot were well capable of carrying out those manouvers. the rest (ie damage to the aircraft) is pure speculation beyond that. If anyone by chance is the engineer on these aircraft that push the limit's please raise your hand and tell us how bad it was, or wasn't.

OTTO Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Hey Skids Up that's where you go to become an "unbelievable" and "tricky" pilot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splitpin Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Sad to see videos like that. My first question is "WHY DO IT?" Second is how many young Bucks (young, dumb, and full of ***) see a video like that and say "Hey, Cool flying Dude!!" I can do that!. Next thing you know, "SPLUTCH" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elvis Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 A little searching NTSB Identification: NYC89FA220 . The docket is stored on NTSB microfiche number 43340. 14 CFR Part 91: General Aviation Accident occurred Wednesday, September 20, 1989 in TUCKERTON, NJ Probable Cause Approval Date: 9/9/1992 Aircraft: MBB BO-105CB-4, registration: N5353V Injuries: 1 Fatal. THE HELICOPTER ENTERED A SHALLOW CLIMB & STEEP TURN AT LOW ALTITUDE. ALTHOUGH THE PILOT INITIATED A RECOVERY, THE HELICOPTER STRUCK THE GROUND BEFORE HE RECOVERED. AN INVESTIGATION REVEALED NO PRE-EXISTING FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION WITH THE ENGINE OR AIRFRAME. A PERFORMANCE STUDY SHOWED THE MANEUVER HAD A MAXIMUM BANK OF 98 DEGREES & A MAXIMUM ALTITUDE OF 75 FEET AGL. RECOVERY WAS NOT INITIATED UNTIL .5 SECONDS AFTER THE APEX OF THE MANEUVER. The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident as follows: THE PILOT'S DELAY IN REMEDIAL ACTION BY DELAYING THE PULL-UP FROM A DESCENDING MANEUVER.
