While the account is an interesting read and eagerly soaked up by the spectating public, if I am ever captain of an airplane that wrecks I hope my copilot/passenger would have the common sense to stfu and for Godsake keep all your hot air off social media until my attorney approves, til the NTSB has interviewed you, and as a courtesy; til I give the ok.
Won't have to worry about Dan talking to the NTSB. He wouldn't talk to them last time. Why would he this time?While the account is an interesting read and eagerly soaked up by the spectating public, if I am ever captain of an airplane that wrecks I hope my copilot/passenger would have the common sense to stfu and for Godsake keep all your hot air off social media until my attorney approves, til the NTSB has interviewed you, and as a courtesy; til I give the ok.
According to the account, he was the instructor, not a passenger. And he's not going to talk to the NTSB because he's Dan GryderWhile the account is an interesting read and eagerly soaked up by the spectating public, if I am ever captain of an airplane that wrecks I hope my copilot/passenger would have the common sense to stfu and for Godsake keep all your hot air off social media until my attorney approves, til the NTSB has interviewed you, and as a courtesy; til I give the ok.
Oak-ay, but I think he was just stumped by the tree-mendously bad situation he ended up in.
Nobody except Dan, but that would be true even if he wasn't on board.I guess it's safe to say no one here knows what happened
Now you are just flaming himI'm gonna go out on a limb and say that you wood be too ...
this is what? number 3? i bet he will talk to the FAA.Won't have to worry about Dan talking to the NTSB. He wouldn't talk to them last time. Why would he this time?
Doesn't look like it was locked to me:Tailwheel question. What is the process on such a plane to lock the tailwheel? Is it a failure prone point? Is it a checklist item?
I agree, pretty certain I can see it swiveling side to side as the aircraft passes by.Doesn't look like it was locked to me
Now you are just flaming him
Been a long while since I flew a Model 10, the big brother to the 12, but I seem to remember the tailwheel lock was a lever control on the center pedestal and was required to be locked for takeoffs and landings. I believe that there was also a prohibition of three pointing the a/c on landing due to some momentary blanking out of the tail with the flaps down and in a certain speed range.Tailwheel question. What is the process on such a plane to lock the tailwheel? Is it a failure prone point? Is it a checklist item?
Not quite all…somebody on BeechTalk pasted a D.G. Facebook post…Dans whole reason to be in that aircraft was to do training on use of checklists. That says it all.
"I am once again pretty disappointed with a non CFI, non MEI, part 121 FO YouTuber that never checked out in a BE-18 or an L12A.
FACT: The L12A will climb 400 fpm with full flaps extended, and the tailwheel doesn’t need to be locked for takeoff or landing. Tailwheel lock is a work load reliever for long taxiways where no turns are required. I never locked a tailwheel for any BE-18 takeoff or landing and this has zero to do with what happened.
We typically don’t lock tailwheel for any L12A operation, but some do, just personal preference."
To go along with your statement, Dan and others are pushing this 'Advanced Qualifications Program' (AQP). The commercial aviation community does benefits from such a program. Pilots flying less then 50 hours a year in the same plane are getting information overload. AQP used by recreational pilots will create confusion in the cockpit. Pilots will be so busy trying to remember everything from their last Bi-Annual and worrying about forgetting something important they forget the most important thing... FLY THE PLANE YOU'RE IN.Dans whole reason to be in that aircraft was to do training on use of checklists. That says it all.

Don't worry about turning off the air-conditioner, looking for aircraft 10 miles out, making the perfect radio calls and all the if-then do this or do that. I had a Bi-Annual that the instructor was all into training me and having me perform procedures that didn't apply to the fixed pitch, single engine, fixed gear aircraft we were sitting in. Example: Gas, Undercarriage, Mixture, Prop (GUMP) check. There's an abbreviated 'Before Landing Checklist' mounted on the panel that I put my finger on and do the basic checklist. It has worked hundreds of times just fine and I have never forgot to turn off the air-conditioner, adjust the fixed pitch prop and extend the fixed gear even once. Most interesting, the fuel selector was on both when the aircraft took off and was still on both when arriving at the airport traffic area.
There’s really nothing in AQP that the FAA doesn’t already encourage and/or allow GA pilots and instructors to do.
- Data collection and analysis to validate individual and team proficiency, and the AQP itself
- Training is systematically developed with an audit trail for all training and data requirements

There’s really nothing in AQP that the FAA doesn’t already encourage and/or allow GA pilots and instructors to do.
It could be argued use of the WINGS program provides a systematic solution with an audit trail.
All DG’s attempt at AQP was to use the term as his own brand differentiator. ‘Look at me, I’ve taken something the airlines do that may/may not cause improved safety and stuck it on uTube so you’ll smash my likes while I smash my head.”
Agreed, but he is getting the information out on a different social media platform. I participate in the wings programs frequently, unfortunately most pilots at my airport don't even know what the wings program is, they might know Dan on youtube though.
So his target audience for a better training program is pilots who have chosen not to be knowledgeable about training?Agreed, but he is getting the information out on a different social media platform.

Except DG never isn’t selling WINGS. He’s selling himself.
You mean other than stealing evidence from crash sites?He isn't doing anything negative
I would tend to disagree with that, but…He isn't doing anything negative,

lol. He seems to care about making money caring about decreasing ga accidents.Seems the only person I have heard saying that was another utuber that seems to have a hard on for him and wants to promote himself.
Not that I know who is lying, BUT DG story is polar opposite.
Amazing how many people on these boards are condemning of others before they even look in the mirror. I'm not talking about this discussion, but in general on many message boards...........
How so, I haven's seen him tell people to be reckless in any manor. He seems to care about decreasing GA accidents, is that bad??
Well, he's getting some sort of information out.Agreed, but he is getting the information out on a different social media platform.
That's called a "lose-lose" situation.most pilots at my airport don't even know what the wings program is, they might know Dan on youtube though.

It appears to me he’s creating a more adversarial relationship between pilots and the FAA.How so, I haven's seen him tell people to be reckless in any manor. He seems to care about decreasing GA accidents, is that bad??
