Really bad landing...

[Lndwarrior]

Bounced landing did not go well. Don't know all the details but the rental plane ended up on it's back and the pilot walked away.

Apparently the engine had just been over-hauled. Accident occurred at Cloverdale Airport on the Jan. 15, 2018 weekend.

That's all I know about this. Strangely it never made it into the newspapers (which may be a good thing for our little airport).

Another reason why I don’t like to “save” a landing. Just go around.

What a sad looking little plane now. It looks like a puppy that just got his nose popped with a newspaper.

Yeah now you know dem nose wheel/ struct shouldn't touch before the mains. Now look what you done did.

Didn't fare as badly as the twin in the background of the third picture.

That's a King Air 1/2, you've never seen one before? They only made a few of them, very rare. The KA 90 was what evolved from the KA 1/2.

Our local FBO has had not one, but TWO off-airport landings with its rental fleet in the past couple of weeks. One Cherokee in a cornfield, one Luscombe 11E (look that one up) on a ball field. The Cherokee looked pretty good, the Luscombe might need more than a buffer.

Ouch.

Pilot walked away = good. Plane not immediately re-useable = not great.

Wonder what his airspeed was crossing the fence

 

[N659HB]

Landing with a tailwind?

 

[Paulie]

So much for that overhaul. Get to do it again.

 

[Zeldman]

Wonder what his airspeed was crossing the fence

More importantly, what was his ground speed on downwind..??

That one caught my eye pretty quick. I really want to hear that story....

Laden or unladen?

Laden or unladen?

The question George Bush kept asking the soldiers.

Another bounced landing ,don’t know why people are afraid to go around.

 

[Skip Miller]

Hard landing?

May be he was trying to get 3 landing out of 1?

I’ll bet his Angle of Attack indicator would be pegged at “Full Aggression” after landing that hard.

"Anger of Attack"!

At some point you have to draw the line between “bad landing” and “plane crash”...

 

[James331]

Holy bounce batman!

Seriously. lol.

The one behind it doesn't look too great either.

Had to swallow hard when I read that.

 

[overdrive148]

Now look what you done did.

Ya plum done gone dagum did it now, son!

 

[Zeldman]

Hard landing?

I hope that was some sort of test and not a revenue flight....

 

[bflynn]

A bounced landing is really just repeatedly throwing the engine down on top of the nose gear until it collapses.

I thought it was the famous King Air 45.

I thought it was the famous King Air 45.

And here I thought it was the 33 1/3.

Hey,
You forgot your tail.

Got your nose!

African or European?

 

[Skip Miller]

I believe it was a test flight where the vertical speed got away from the pilot flying...

At our little airport I constantly observe trike airplanes landing flat. Especially Cessnas. Doesn't the new generation CFIs teach full stall landings with the nose wheel being held off?

When I train tow pilots to fly my straight tail 182 I notice the same trend. I tell them if they make flat landings I won't keep them around.
