This “fast taxi” is called a landing.
He landed flat and maybe slightly fast.
Started heading for the weeds and panicked on the go around.
By your own admission you took 60 hrs to solo on a rotorcraft.......

Wouldn't have happened if they started him off on a Tiger Moth (and not because it's got a stick).

Why would it be better if he soloed in a Tigermoth, as opposed to a Cub or a C150? In the US a Tigermoth would be an extremely rare airplane.

I think it would be better to take after me...my first solo was in a 707 after 1 hour of training :}

Let us not forget this

What are you on about you turkey

Poor chap just got totally disorientated. Let's hope he gets a sympathetic debriefing and carries on, despite his minor injuries. After all that is what insurance is for!

With 4,000,000+ (yes, 4 million) miles driven and less than 20 hours in my logbook, I struggle to steer with my feet.
Sadly, I don't get enough time in the aircraft, for various reasons.

Students make mistakes, some big, some small - making him feel bad about his actions on an anonymous forum only makes YOU look like a douche bag.

I remember my first solo many moons ago. I kept on muttering "Oh f##k" as I climbed out and "Oh s##t" as I turned downwind. Once downwind my nerves settled. I wouldn't want a camera in there with me recording my words and no doubt visible signs of abject terror! I look back on that day with fond memories now....

I think we should all take a moment and wish the pilot a speedy recovery, both physically and emotionally.

If you are reading this, thank you for allowing the video to be posted.

I hope you manage to get over the accident and back to flying.

As for the event on the runway, I wonder if the squealing tyre noise was an inadvertent brake lock up or just the nose wheel complaining.

Far too many keyboard warriors on here for my liking.

I think it's fair to say that the person suffering the hardest over this unfortunate incident is the student himself, does he really need the extra grief? This stuff can have devastating consequences on people and I find in aviation incidences people ridicule far too easily.

You sir, just made a complete goose of yourself :ugh:

So you never had a billycart as a kid? :E

But a billy cart steers opposite to an aircraft. Oops!

How do you solo an aircraft that required more than one pilot?

Looxury!
I had to lick tarmac clean first, then my instructor beat me to death before sending me solo in a 747 without any training at all! Tell that to the kids these days, nobody would believe you...

Lol - the yolk???

DF.

It is quite obvious to anyone who has an instructional background he started to do everything he was taught.
Landed a little flat, started to drift to the side of the runway, after reducing throttle, (But may not have closed it fully - possibly causing more drift) doesn't add enough rudder.
So initiates a go around.
Doesn't correct the yaw and then uses aileron to try to steer away from the hanger, while accelerating towards it.
Poor chap becomes completely overloaded and is fortunate that the aircraft hit the hanger side on so the aircraft and the soft skin of the hanger acted as a crumple zone.
This should be seen as a learning exercise for us all not just in the lessons this video shows but also when going around is not the best option and most importantly that the rudder is so seldom used by a huge amount of pilots in GA from beginners to pilots with lots of hours.
Unless pilots have real experience of stick and rudder aircraft and tailwheel aircraft then they see the rudder pedals as brakes and footrests. Rather than a powerful control surface with multiple secondary control effects.
Good luck to the student, I am glad he wasn't too badly hurt, that he provided us all with some valuable learning experience and hope that this doesn't put him off flying.

Well said, SM.

I'd be more concerned about the instructor/s who taught this guy and especially the one that authorised solo flight! I mean we are talking about a C172 here one if the most benign training A/C on the market! You are meant to be competent to go solo. To stuff this up so badly means someone out there needs some attention also!
