    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "PATRICK LADD" <pj.ladd@btinternet.com> what this pilot does when the engine quits.>> Yes John, I noticed that. He was not far above the tree tops but it looked as though there was just about enough room to dive left to the road. Shows the downside of openair flying. No fuselage to protect you. He was really unlucky to collect all those imjuries though. Cheers Pat

    Subject: UL crash video
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Richard Swiderski" <rswiderski@earthlink.net> When I saw the video & watched him fly so low over congested & populated area I said to myself, this guy is trouble waiting to happen. We all have seen many fellow pilots fly like their plane is never going to have a problem. I personally refuse to fly into a strip that requires me to fly low, over houses or even trees, on take off. If there is not a place to abort at every moment up to the point I have enough altitude to do a 180 return, then I refuse to operate out of that field. -Richard Swiderski -----Original Message----- From: owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Larry Bourne Subject: Re: Kolb-List: UL crash video --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Larry Bourne" <biglar@gogittum.com> I dunno........?? I've got a few hours in a Quicksilver 2 seater, and it was tough to get used to[Richard Swiderski] landing procedure. Coming in on final at 300 ft, the instructor told me (and showed me) to wait till the numbers were between my feet, chop the throttle, point the nose down and keep the Hall airspeed indicator at 45 mph (if I remember right) and flare at the very last second. It was a little (??) hair raising at 1st, and we came down very steeply.......I'd guess at a 45 deg angle, and we'd touch down not much past the numbers. Not much of a glide ratio there.

    Subject: Re: UL Crash / BRS
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: ray anderson <rsanoa@yahoo.com> Mike, Records show ultralight saves with a BRS as low as 25 ft. The video shows more than ample altitude for a complete deployment. In most properly placed chutes, the rocket deploys upward, with instant stoppage of downward travel. Whether over bare land or trees, it's better to descent vertically than fly head on into anything, without a lot of strong fuselage in front.

    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "JIM HEFNER" <hefner_jim@msn.com> Guys, I agree with your comments, but as I watched this video I could hear engine hesitation starting at a point where he could have easily turned to his left and put it down on a couple of gravel roads running off to his left if he was paying attention to the engine sound. If I hear anything unusual in the sound of my engine, which has only happened once, I'm immediately looking for a place to park it in case it quits, but this guy seemed to be oblivious to what was happening until it quit and then he was clueless what to do, but by then he was over too many trees to do anything about it most likely. Banking hard left at that point would have caused him to loose altitude even quicker. Usually 2 cycles will give you a few seconds of warning with a hesitation, especially if it is fuel related, which this looked and sounded like to me, based on the couple engine hesitations I heard in the engine sound on the video. Really unfortunate, but as you said, a good piece of teaching video. As was also eluded to, if I were flying regularly from that strip, I would have made a habit of doing a left turn over those roads short of the woods, just in case of an engine out during climbout. As was noted, altitude is our friend and paying attention is also our friend. Flying over friendly terrain that gives you options until you get high enough to have more options is a smart way to fly with 2 cycles in my opinion. Regarding the BRS notion, I think he was hitting tree tops so quick after the engine quit, plus his panic reaction to the engine out, freezing his reactions, he probably would not have had time to pull the BRS lever in time to help much. If he could have pulled it, it would likely gotten tangled in the trees and at least kept him from hitting the ground so hard, but none of that should have had to happen in this case in my opinion if he were paying attention to how his engine was sounding and if he flew a smart departure pattern with a left turn before the woods until he got high. These are both good lessons learned from this video in my opinion. I'm fortunate to live in the desert so there aren't any wooded areas like that, but there is plenty of cactus to make for an unpleasant landing.... Fly smart by listening closely to your engine sound and make sure you have options during climbout, either one, would have saved this guy a lot of pain and suffering. My 2 cents worth only.

    --> Kolb-List message posted by: russ kinne <kinnepix@earthlink.net> Pat I must be looking at a different BRS site -- I see 177 'saves' but only 3-4 are Kolbs. No pix. With my confuser skills I prolly just missed it. Is this www.BRSparachute.com? The chute would have helped almost no matter how late deployed. Would stop FORWARD motion even if not time to stop downwards much. And tangling in treetops would help too, even un-deployed. But this is one poorly trained pilot!! -- he did most everything wrong. But lived, at least. I heard of a Navy pilot who had a main gear collapse during the catapult launch on a carrier -- (how's that for an attention-getter???) and was quick enough to pull the ejection handle so he was shot out of the aircraft horizontally -- went into the water about 50 yd from the side of the carrier & was promptly fished out. Then loudly demanded another airplane because the first one quit on him !! Quite an excellent performance -- he had only 1 second or so to pull the magic handle. Now, that's a pilot -- Hope you can straighten out the W&B problems with your bird -- I'm sure you know NEVER to take off with any kind of aft CG -- Egad, man but you've been thru the wringer on this one; certainly hope you get everything righted soon . Also was disappointed to read the account of the UK importer being so stinky. No one needs that.

I'm still learning too. --> Kolb-List message posted by: "JIM HEFNER" <hefner_jim@msn.com> Chuck, that's what lessons learned are all about. I guess everyone can choose to learn from this unfortunate situation or not. Avoiding this potential situation is the approach I prefer and have reconfirmed from this situation... others may prefer pulling their BRS at the last second. Looking at that video a few times, I think if he hadn't pulled full up elevator when the engine quit, he was most likely still going down into the trees unless Quicksilvers glide a whole lot better than I think they do with no power... a pretty high drag plane... maybe he would have been luckier with how he went down through the trees, but either way it was going to be much worse than keeping a landing option open, which is part of basic pilot training. You are right about GRAVITY, so making smart choices consistently can payoff big when you least expect it.

That is why I am also trying to get a 2 seater. Light Sport. You do not need a certified pilots license from what I understand. That is the beauty of Kitplanes.

Day, night, VFR, IFR, xponder, whatever it takes to do what we want. Maybe next year my blood pressure will be too high, and I will skip my physical, fall back to Light Sport, and be glad it's there.

    Subject: FireFly Getting Around
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Jack B. Hart" <jbhart@onlyinternet.net> FireFlyers & Kolbers, I had a fun weekend flying two almost one hundred mile triangular loops from I22. Saturday, I flew from Randolph Co 20.5 miles to Reese Field, a little private strip a little south and east of Muncie. Then 17.6 miles to Alexandria, Indiana to see my old sailplane buddies. Next 29.4 miles to Henry Co Airport located next to New Castle, Indiana and where I filled up with 100 LL and then 29.2 miles back to Randolph Co. Randolph Co. Total straight line point to point trip distance was 96.7 miles. Sunday, I flew from Randolph Co 34 miles to Connersville, Indiana and then south another 9 miles to a grass strip that is inhabited by lots of ultra lights called Nulltown Wingnuts on the chart. They have a fly-in breakfast every first Sunday of the month. I got started much too late and so there was no one there when I flew over so I turned and flew 21 miles to Richmond, Indiana. As I approached there was lots of radio traffic and I discovered they were having a huge parachuting fest. Filled up here with 100 LL. It was interesting that their computer system could not handle filling up an ultra light vehicle. They insisted on a tail number, so I suggested that they use 103-7. But they used the word "can". It seems the system would accept selling gas if it was put into a gas can. Then finally I flew my ultra light vehicle gas can 28.6 miles to my home airport. Total straight line point to point trip distance was 92.4 miles. Average ground speed for the two trips was 46.0 and 46.6 mph point to point with no allowances for deviation around inhabited areas and patterns. Fuel flow was 2.38 and 2.31 gph. Burnt 5.0 and 4.59 gallons of gas. Total time in the air was four hours, five minutes. Today I rode the mower for five hours. Jack B. Hart FF004 Winchester, IN Do Not Archive
