Just like a trucker, this pilot puts his ontime performance ahead of safety and tries to land instead of just going around and trying the approach again - which he would up doing anyway... http://youtube.com/watch?v=ueJeC2pxxbM -- F ools E gomaniacs & M orons A ssociation > Just like a trucker, this pilot puts his ontime performance ahead of > safety and tries to land instead of just going around and trying the > approach again - which he would up doing anyway... > > http://youtube.com/watch?v=ueJeC2pxxbM There was this: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-plane-golf-course_web_02mar02,1,103 1622.story No injuries were reported after a small plane made an unexpected landing Saturday afternoon at a golf course in north suburban Lincolnshire. Officials said it was unclear why the plane made a non-emergency stop at the Crane's Landing golf course, which is operated by the Lincolnshire Marriott Resort. Further details were not immediately available, but the incident is under investigation by the Lincolnshire police. But it's even more strange... here is where it landed: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=68+marriott+drive,+lincolnshire ,+IL&sll=42.19473,-87.93071&sspn=0.010015,0.015728&layer=c&ie=UTF8&ll=42.19449,- 87.921417&spn=0.010015,0.015728&t=h&z=16&cbll=42.194724,-87.9276 Here's the nearest airport: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=wolf+road,+wheeling,+IL&sll=42. 19449,-87.921417&sspn=0.010015,0.015728&layer=c&ie=UTF8&ll=42.118408,-87.902555& spn=0.020055,0.031457&t=h&z=15&cbll=42.11792,-87.90825 Just follow Milwaukee ave north from the airport to the golf course. > Just like a trucker, this pilot puts his ontime performance ahead of > safety and tries to land instead of just going around and trying the [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > M orons > A ssociation I don't see anywhere where that could have gone better, except right where he accidently gets the right wing too high and the wind gets under it. Approach was fine until that point, ands when that happened he did indeed go around. Can't quite tell if he actually touched down or not. Of course, trying to land in that crosswind at all may have been ill advised- certainly looked to be about the max you could cope with. He may also have been near fuel minimums, and perhaps could not loiter until the winds were projected to drop a bit- if they were going to drop at all, they may have been projected to increase. Comparing a commercial pilot to a trucker- not an apt comparison, in my view.

I don't think he touched down, but from what I could tell, the left wing did drag on the runway. Could have turned out much worse. >Of course, trying to land in that crosswind at all may have been ill >advised- certainly looked to be about the max you could cope with. IMO, from right after where he passed over the camera, you could tell that the plane was rotating badly and IMO, the pilot should have aborted the attempt and gone around for another try. >He may also have been near fuel minimums, and perhaps could not loiter >until the winds were projected to drop a bit- if they were going to >drop at all, they may have been projected to increase. Just going by thunderstorms here in GA, there is really no way to figure that they will do. One minute can be perfectly clear, few minutes later raging storm and few minutes later clear like nothing happened. >Comparing a commercial pilot to a trucker- not an apt comparison, in >my view. Just my opinion, but same mentality - more concerned with getting in ontime than in safely. Speeders & Drunk Drivers Are MURDERERS (a.k.a.

Only about 20kts.

Yeah, the opinion of one who refers to "yawing" as "rotating" and suggests that a SOP approach technique is cause to abort a landing must be must be posted to Usenet lest the community conclude the poster has exhausted the subjects of which he knows nothing, yet remains "knowledgeable". ----- - gpsman >>Of course, trying to land in that crosswind at all may have been ill >>advised- certainly looked to be about the max you could cope with. > >IMO, from right after where he passed over the camera, you could tell >that the plane was rotating badly and IMO, the pilot should have >aborted the attempt and gone around for another try.

Saw the news footage on the local Faux News channel. Nasty. According to the report, no one was seriously injured. Darwin is thinking "Heilige Scheisse...wieder der Fehler. Eine Bier, bitte...oder einer Whisky." Makes me wonder whether after landing the pilot went up to beat the crap out of the air traffic controller for sending him on that runway. However, I doubt that this qualifies for a GPSTroll Award...it wasn't a Lahndartz Landing, and also did not occur in a crowded area. >Just like a trucker, this pilot puts his ontime performance ahead of >safety and tries to land instead of just going around and trying the >approach again - which he would up doing anyway... That pilot is far too skillful to have come from the GPSTroll school. A GPSTroll student would have crashed and burned the moment the left wing touched the tarmac.
