that looked a lot worse from where i saw it, in the runup bay of 29R.
good to see both exited and walked away with no obvious injuries.

Great work.

What's the chance of having 2 camera rolling for th same incident??

[KrispyKreme]

Wow, well done to the pilot .. i have to ask..but has this tape been sent to the ATSB ? i assume it has

You would think pretty slim, but these days the chances are getting better!

That was as close to disaster as you ever want to get!

Kept his cool though. Well done!

[flog]

Don't forget to turn the master off...

[Merlins Magic]

WOW...Thats amazing. Did you see the setup in that Bonza.

[airman1]

Nice work to all involved! Where is the DR he will be drooling over the bonza setup for sure

[glekichi]

Is it just me, or did he actually wing-drop stall onto the grass?

He was just applying 3-pointer short field taildragger techniques.

If everyone in GAAP did nice tight circuits not wide B747 circuits this would not even rate a mention the runway would be in glide distance from mid downwind as it should be.

[Dave Incognito]

Regardless of your circuit size, a normal powered 3 degree approach is going to mean you are beyond gliding distance of the black stuff at some stage...

[PlankBlender]

Can anyone who knows the locality try to shed light on what the pilot seems to attempt in the seconds before the rather sudden arrival?

I'm a bit puzzled by the angle of bank so close to the ground Where is the trying to turn, towards the taxiway just behind the waiting Bo?

[GAFA]

Great job, looks like he come close to the sports fields at Condell Park High School.

He had to fly between the toll hangar and the hangar next to it. He was literally below the level of the buildings and flying between them, hence the HTT guy thinking he wasn't going to make it. The angle of bank was to turn right towards the clear area of the undershoot for 29. If he had straight lined it, he would have hit the fence and the road / poles etc behind it.

A hell of a job in my books.

i have been roasted a few time by CFI's for teaching, try to make every approach a glide approach. once the power is back to slow down on mid downwind, the throttle shouldn't be touched again until you need it to taxi. unless of course the student is going for CPL and higher.. then ill teach the 3 deg approach.

its how i was taught all those yrs ago, and its saved my arse once. and i teach it to my students. fortunately the CFI now approves of my technique.

Nooooooooo!

The Dr has seen both the downtime and the bill when one of those big TVs goes blank!

But when I win Lotto ..............

[Mr. Hat]

Well done fella.

You'd expect the engine failure from the Skyfox operating there with the sewing machine up front, not a good old Lycoming. Great video from the chopper, makes me want to do a conversion. Good idea with the camera setup in the chopper, not a bad idea for all lessons if the student bothers to watch it afterwards.

Yep, I agree. If that had been the case here, the only worry would have been coming in too high over the runway, rather than whether he'd make it at all. Nevertheless, the plane and the passengers came out in one piece, so that's the important thing and a job well done.
