No magenta lines here. Hand flying, nothing beats it. :ok:
In a week where there have been videos of poor decision making below MSA, sadly here’s another one. Accidents just don’t happen, they are caused! |

Here's some background on an earlier thread: https://www.pprune.org/african-aviat...rcenaries.html I guess doing a circle at 100 feet RA is not the riskiest thing he's done in a plane. :eek: |

Wasn't Niel [sic] jailed for 17 months in Zim? Or does 'nearly 18/12' mean almost 18 months? I thought he looked familiar in the video.

Are you all really so impressed with doing a 360 degree turn back to final without a seatbelt? You guys need to get out more! |
Has the link gone AWOL?
|
Does anyone know what is the real reason for a 360 below MSA ? was this provided for ?

360 on short final ? for Africa, not that unusual. especially over water , (but not always )

gearlever : I mean there are not so many 727s still flying. Note that this 727 is African PBN certified .. ( the Garmin 196 taped on top of shield ) .:E |

Cessna SEP landed before still on runway it would seem. |
360 above or below MSA, what's the difference?

70 Mustang Quote:
" I would have made left turns! " Left 360...closer to land and shooting. Right 360...more over water and less shooting. . |

Fair play to the guy, he came out of the 360 still with the RadAlt saying 100'! Mind you I remember a Skip that got retired for doing a 360 going into HER at 200'. The FO was most put out!

Here we go again! Get on with it people, the Captain obviously made a decision at the time to do what he did based on his experience and the environment, is that wrong? No in my opinion! Was it dangerous and stupid, probably not considering the information already available. If there were pax in the back, yes what he done was absolutely stupid. A freighter operating into a war zone, all bets are off survival is paramount - screw the rules it’s a survival game. Kids of the magenta! Old aeroplanes with clocks will always sort the big dogs out who can piss in the long grass without getting wet. |

He did have an option to use more height, didn't he? |
He should have climbed to 200 feet! :E

Glad to see someone who actually knows how to fly . My congrats to the skipper . Most pilots nowadays would crash or stall halfway through the turn.

It is crazy how many people here (and that makes it worse) think how awesome it is. Remember that BA 777 which lost both engines on approach to LHR? Those guys should have done some 360 to show how big balls they have. Honestly I think most of you forget that purpose of commercial flying with people behind is not to show how big balls you have. |
