Separate names with a comma.
There is little to no G in a dive only when you pull out of the dive. Are you suggesting he blacked out under low G and work up as the G increased...
No. Transponders are but that is a different device altogether. I can't imagine a 50's jet will have a black box recorder. I thought that the...
Also pilots don't like to accept pilots fuck up and try to blame anyone or anything else; bit like motorcyclists in that respect.
Take a look at 0:25 on that last vid, there was a hasty pull back on the stick, a high speed stall and the jet mushed / pancaked in to the ground....
Another 100ft and he might have got away with it ?
He was low and slow without any options waiting to crash.
There is such a thing as a high speed stall, which is different from a low speed stall, although the term high speed is misleading as it still can...
Do you get sheep south of Kendal, except Wales of course which is full of sheep ?
Good point but I would never take it for granted. Whenever I come across a sheep on one side of the road and a lamb on the other I slow right down...
Mechanical failure is always a possibility but I can't see it in this case.
There is a sheep just about to jump out 200m ahead on the left.
There is logic in retesting at an advanced level to maintain standards. There is logic in doing periodic refresher training. Retests are...
I agree, but I think it will turn out to be a correct finding.
Probably to regain airspeed after the top of the loop. Pulling back without airspeed would have created more drag than lift.
And the last vid has the sound of the jet engine right till the end.
Yes. It was on the brink of a stall due to high angle of attack, the wings rocked slightly due to pre stall buffet (?) just before it mushed /...
The first vid on this thread shows the pilot rolling 90deg left on the climb so the plane of the loop was performed at 90deg to the entry. This...
Shoreham air crash: Man films Hunter hitting A27 road - BBC News Looked like he was low and slow and on the point of stall to me.
I agree it is a training issue but re tests would be counterproductive. Filtering is a high risk activity which we need to recognise as such.
The pilot generally is the weak link, but I am sure it will all come out in the wash.
