Austintatious Posted August 9, 2019 Report Posted August 9, 2019 (edited) I swear that left main gear is flapping in the wind... but it still didnt collapse after he touched down the second time! EDIT: Turns out it was in the process of collapsing as the video cut out. Edited August 9, 2019 by Austintatious Quote
Yetti Posted August 9, 2019 Report Posted August 9, 2019 so is that logged as 1 or 2 landings 3 1 Quote
ExpressJetter Posted August 10, 2019 Report Posted August 10, 2019 (edited) Was it the and accelerated stall or the prop wash of the tri- motor? Video seems to say accelerated stall but idk how true that is. Edited August 10, 2019 by ExpressJetter 1 Quote

bradp Posted August 10, 2019 Report Posted August 10, 2019 Reference the beechtalk crash talk m35 thread - pilot says it was a wake turbulence encounter. I believe him. Trimotor and that AN are pretty similar. 1 Quote
carusoam Posted August 11, 2019 Report Posted August 11, 2019 Reminder... Don’t be slow, and banking, while behind a trimotor... or any other plane... or by yourself... +1 on the post recovery thought process... no go-around... the plane might be too broken to fly... +1 on maintaining control... no secondary stall... Best regards, -a- Quote

Trimotor and that AN are pretty similar. Certainly looked like a wake turbulence encounter. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Quote
jetdriven Posted August 12, 2019 Report Posted August 12, 2019 A 30+ degree bank at 50' doesnt help his situation Quote

In the comments, the pilot said the wake turbulence caused the excessive bank. 1 Quote
jetdriven Posted August 12, 2019 Report Posted August 12, 2019 Im gonna go read that BT thread. But 30 degrees of bank significantly reduces lift, pulling back only does so much. I'd imagine he has a lot of right aileron in as well, but it wasnt responding. Quote
FloridaMan Posted August 13, 2019 Report Posted August 13, 2019 Sun n Fun had me take off behind a flight of two Wacos years ago. It required significant control input to maintain control and really got my attention. Quote
Guitarmaster Posted August 15, 2019 Report Posted August 15, 2019 We normally think of wake turbulence encounters in terms of big jets, but small planes can really pack a punch in the right conditions.Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Quote
