Stabilised approach ... NOT

(Presumed) outside view of final turn and landing (commentary in German): |
Superbly done! There goes a man who knows his aeroplane!
|
Mmmmmm.... Not much room for error. :=
|
Do not err then young aviator.
|
Probably one of the good ole boys from the Bose ranch.
|
Those Skyservants look really cool in a bush kind of way.
|
That looked great. Smart piece of aviating skill I'd say.:ok:
|
Looked good, under positive control.
Don't think that they had enough time to call finals though :) |
Yep Bose knows how to train !!!
|
Very, very cool. 10,000 feet + to ground level in less than 4 mins.
I've seen the drop plane at Headcorn/Lashenden release jumpers and be back on the ground before all the canopies have landed. Impressive stuff. :ok: . |
Cool, yes, impressive control as well, I will grant that but I have to question his sanity - what was it they said? Human Factors? I'll-show-you-what-I-can-do-i-tis - I'd hate to be around when one of his motors goes tits up as he's turning onto final - before he knows what's happening, he'll be doing a pretty decent impression of a pavement pizza.....
Having said that, if one motor DID let go at a higher altitude than, say, 100 feet, this guy has his plane so well under control I'd no doubt he'd bring it down. In one piece. On the asphalt...... |
Very impressive stuff. Having a shoulder harness and leaving it behind your back seems silly though.
|
There goes a cocky pilot that doesn't bother to fasten his 4 point harness, let's hope that he doesn't have the accident that is waiting to happen. :ugh:
|
Beautifully done by a pilot who really knows his aircraft and his airfield. I have done exactly that more times than I care to remember and then I would have go back to work and push buttons for 11 hours between London and Los Angeles.

Is flying like this necessary? Maybe not, but then there is a lot of art around which is not necessary either - 'doesn't mean that we don't appreciate it for it's quality! The jump club always expressed appreciation that i got the 185 or 206 down from 10500 feet in 0.2 hours ('cause they paid for the plane by the tenth), without abusing the engine to do it. My flying was not that artistic, but I did beat the jumpers down a few times.... |
It looks very dangerous to me. That toy duck hanging from the compas must obscure his vision.

I knew one pilot who would drop the skydivers and deliberately shut the engine down - allegedly to save fuel, but I think he was just enjoying himself. The chap was 70-something years old and had over 10000 hours on type (AN-2).
|
Me and my mate were meat bombing some years ago. On one of his lifts the last jumper, as he went out the door, switched off the mags and took the keys with him! No big deal as they were overhead the field, but demonstrates how mad some of these jumpers are!
|
Had similar, Mr Shaggy. In my case my load pulled a gear CB (C210) before exiting :rolleyes:
