Dumbasses. It's a miracle that plane didn't flip over or worse.
Looks like he didn't even have a prop strike. Very very lucky.

This video has come up bevore and as I recall, there was no intent to
land on the car - Contrary to what the "commentator" claimed...

What I don't recall is what they were really trying to do before the
contact between the airplane and the car.


Ah, OK, maybe it was just supposed to be a buzz job or an attempt to pass
something from one vehicle to the other...

It was a mid 80's production, 84 or 85 with the new panel.

The Continental injection system was adapted to
turbocharging. It uses a fixed fuel metering based on rpm,
throttle and mixture setting. There is an upper deck fuel
pressure bleed on the turbo, to raise fuel pressure when the
boost is at above ambient [TO MAP was 39.5 "Hg.] But idle
mixture is set for sea level.

The problem was I had been recently flying another model
with Bendix injection, it has pressure balance mixture
control.

Live and learn.

Yeh stefan, you've trolled me good there.

Flown into Meribel or Courcheval, have you?

Yes. Courchevel, Meribel, Alpe d'Huez. Actually, it isn't that hard if
you're used to fly in mountains, to spot landings and have some
knowledge of local wind systems. And being mainly a glider pilot, the
lack of a go around option isn't a real issue, either.

Tell us all about it.

No. But if you're really interested, nothing prevents you to gain an
"autorisation de site", i.e. the sign-off for one of those alitports. If
you're reasonably current, three hours would should be plenty enough.
One of the clubs below will be happy to help you:

Please explain to me the problem in landing up hill and taking off
down hill.

Where did you see that? *Don't think the video showed or mentioned the
aircraft, the closest we got was a shadow of it, and it looked more a
3 axis machine to me, MX or something like it.

I watched the author's videos and read most of the comments and also I
too have a trike and I can see the pentulum effect half way thru his
video. I also happen to know that he is an ultralight pilot and that
he has a Sabre trike. He doesn't have a PPL.

I'll believe you, but the shadow of the aircraft on the film looks
distinctly like a square wing to me, which is why I thought 1st gen 3
axis ultralight like an [Quicksilver] MX. Must have been an optical
illusion I guess.

End of the day, doesn't matter and I don't even know why I'm debating
the point, it was obviously a fully open ultralight aircraft of some
description, and even that doesn't matter, because it's an aircraft
making an emergency landing which is exactly what I posted the video
as an example of.

He doesn't have a PPL.

I didn't suggest he did. Neither do I.

Yeah, I'm not here to debate that either. Just wanted to add my
observations.

Swiss Alps in a Baron

I read about that airport once. You need special training before
you're allowed to use it. The high end of the runway is higher than
the pattern altitude.


I took a Turbo C-206 out of a 2200' grass strip (Branson Field) on a
hillside that led downhill directly to Lake Norman in the Pidmont of North
Carolina. There was a storage building right at the edge of the water so
you needed to be a good 15 feet in the air as you crossed the shoreline.
All takeoffs were downhill; all landings were uphill, no matter what the
wind was doing. There were trees on both sides but the strip was a good
200 feet wide so you didn't feel horned in.

I'd never flown a 206 of any kind before and had no checkout. I did have
a few hundred hours in C-210s so I didn't feel completely out of place.
So I cranked it up, did my runup at the top of the hill and poured the
coal to it. The damned seat slid to the rear of its travel!

Talk about a wild ride down the hill towards that storage building.
Stopping was not an option. I was stretched out trying to keep my feet on
the rudder pedals so I couldn't see where I was going. At what I hoped
was the correct time, I staggered into the air and leveled off as soon as
I could so that I could slide the seat back forward.

All I can say is I was glad nobody saw me. I started paying a lot more
attention to the seat locking in the track after that.

And the T206 has a healthy requirement for right rudder. How tall are
you Mortimer?

gatt,

If you liked that landing, I think you'll really like this landing. I
suppose these guys do this day in and day out up there in Alaska, they
are bound to get good at it.

I would have to list this under "Stupid Pilot Tricks." I agree that the
airplane was very resilient, but would order a complete inspection of
the airframe, a new engine and prop and a license revocation for the
pilot.
