Speaking of landing on the freeway
Except the landing went ok, but the takeoff did not.
After safe emergency landing, pilot crashes on takeoff http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory...izarre/3421136 |

oups.com... Link to another take on the story with video: http://www.wafb.com/Global/story.asp?S=4038264 What is the squealing sound towards the end of the video? |

I'm pretty sure that wasn't added after the fact, you can lock the
wheels up on a Cessna pretty easily. I assume the PIC (passenger in command at that point?) knew it was going to end badly and locked 'em up to try and slow down before hitting the trees. Sounded similar to what I've done in my 152 if I ride the brakes too hard just after touchdown. |

Sounded similar to what I've done in my 152 if I ride the brakes too hard just after touchdown. I agree that it sounds like locked up brakes, but it's not heard until the aircraft has stopped. I guess it could be the sound delay from the distance the taping was done from... |

What is it with these fuel starvation incidents? Never ceases
to amaze me that such a preventable thing continues to occur. I mean, its not rocket science... 1) know how much useable fuel you have in the tanks. 2) know what your fuel burn is per hour. (be conservative and add extra for take-off and climb) 3) divide 1) by 2) ... that's how long the engine will run. 4) subtract a half an hour (just make it an hour for IFR or night) 5) add result to your departure time: that is when you need to be on short final SOMEWHERE.

Speaking of landing on the freeway
What is it with these fuel starvation incidents? Never ceases
to amaze me that such a preventable thing continues to occur. I mean, its not rocket science... No doubt. I'm AMAZED at how often perfectly good airplanes get bent up by running outa gas... While that wasn't the cause of the accident here, it was a contributing factor. There are so many things that can go wrong (that you don't have control of) you'd think every pilot would concentrate on things they CAN control like fuel on board. Oy. That incident is not going to help the cause of other 210 owners come policy renewal time. I've been told by insurance people the 210 is expensive to insure, although I can't figure out why it'd cost more than a 182/177/172RG... |
