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.

He should have used the BAPS(Beechcraft Airframe Parachute System) after the bounce.

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.

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,

Certainly looked like a wake turbulence encounter.

A 30+ degree bank at 50' doesnt help his situation

 

It looks like the bank was around 15 degrees and the WT pushed it to 30. In the comments, the pilot said the wake turbulence caused the excessive bank.

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.

We normally think of wake turbulence encounters in terms of big jets, but small planes can really pack a punch in the right conditions.
