    Questions: Cash and/or merchandise awards? Gas provided? Housing and transpo? Appearance money for "famous luminaries" and winners of the Sport 100 and Sport 60 races at Sun 'n Fun? Would a Yak-52 even go 100 miles at the 80% power rating? In the same day? Should be a perfect event for nearby Yak-50 owners to show their stuff.... Craig Payne cpayne@joimail.com

    Craig: I think a 52 can do it. From personal experience it only take 15 fuel stops to fly across the country and from Philly to Jackson Hole is only 11 stops!!

    From: "Mark Scrivener" <mark_scrivener@yahoo.com>
    My condolences to the families. Very sad. The news report (which could be inaccurate) says the plane banked hard left after takeoff and dove. This sounds somewhat consistent with engine failure as you would have lots of left rudder in, so when the power stopped (assuming you were too astonished to take your foot out) you would find yourself turning left. Looking at the pic of the airplane in the video you can see a large buckle in the fuse just below the canopy. They must have impacted pretty hard. I wonder if trees prevented making a safe landing? RECOMENDED READING: several months back the AOPA had an article on engine failures during takeoff. The big take away was the stall happens very fast - you are slow, heavy, and high AOA. To avoid the stall you have to aggressively push the nose down. The article recommended simulating these emergencies at high altitude . Apparently in a 172 the stall came in just a few seconds after removing power. Engine fails, pilot goes "oh S&!t, what just happened?" Right after he gets past the denial and starts going through the mental check list "nose forward, fuel, mags, etc, the plane is already in a stall. Remember - complacancy kills.

    Subject: Re: Video report on the Illinois 52 crash
    Having experienced two engine failures on TO. You are dead on! I highly recommend 20 or so hours in a glider to round out your flight experience. I strongly suspect I could have been a mort without it. Fly the airplane first and manage the emergency second. That means getting the nose down the heartbeat that all does not appear well. I fly with some nose down trim to help with that instinct all the time.

    Tim, You are correct for the 50, she will fly at 60 knots but not the 52. At nearly 1/2 ton more in wt., you need to get the nose down. You cannot make a 180 back to the field in a 52 at or below 700 ft. A 1000 ft is closer to getting you there. The "deuce" has a glide ratio of a rock! You have to convert PE to KE by dropping the nose so you have to convert altitude to airspeed.

The rest of the story has not been published yet. Doc Subject: Too hot and too heavy Gang, Below is a news video link of a Bonanza departure crash. It is not pretty. The first part is of interest to us, followed by the usual "grab somebody to interview" crap. I have not checked the accident report, but it appears to be a density altitude incident with additional pilot error. Maybe not, but it still serves as a none-too-gentle reminder.

    Doc, Lowering the nose is key...not slamming the stick forward. In a lot of the airplanes I have flown from jets to props, a slight chnage in AOA will help tons. A big change in AOA, either way, will normally get you in trouble. By the way, this discussion has NOTHING to do with what happened in IL...no one knows yet so I will not even begin to speculate. I too, offer up my prayers to the family. Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=132766#132766

    Tim, Agreed, we have no idea what happened in IL. But what we do know is enough to remind us that loss of power on takeoff can be one of the more deadly emergencies. (This is not to say they lost power, just the accident profile begs the question). "Aggressively" pushing the nose over was the wording I recalled from the AOPA article - which was based on a 172. Obviously "aggressive" is a subjective term, and different aircraft will require different reaction times. However, the point is airspeed can bleed quickly in this situation, and lowering the nose to obtain best glide must be done promptly. Again, my thoughts and prayers are with the families. Hopefully the NTSB report will shed further light on what went wrong and how others can avoid this fate. Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=132774#132774

    Very sobering video. Don't think this could happen to you? Well said to say this reminds me of a very poor takeoff I committed just this Saturday. It was hot, high field elevation (4900 ft), near max gross, and a direct cross wind. Other factors were the photographer sitting in the back seat (front right seat empty, making the CG more aft than normal, but still within limits) and a dip in the runway (that I failed to account for). As we rolled down the runway I was shocked to discover becoming airborne too soon due to the dip. We were too slow to fly, but fast enough for ground effect. Complicating matters was the cross wind which made the airplane want to crab immediately. I was caught off guard and allowed a wing to dip dangerously low. Fortunately the wing did not strike anything and I was able to keep it in ground effect until we had a safe flying speed. We dodged that bullet and proceeded to have an uneventful flight. However, the takeoff served as a stern reminder that takeoffs are serious. Be careful out there! Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=132780#132780

    AOA can be controlled smoothly in most airplanes. In the jet that I fly, when we do stall in the sim, we do not lower the nose at all..just push the levers up. In the Extra-300, same thing. Yak-50...same same. These airplanes have some excess power. A C-172 is a typical GA pig..it needs more power to begin with. Get to your best glide speed as soon and as SMOOTHLY as you can. Do it to abruptly, and I think you create a new set of problems. I see new hire FO's horse the airplane around all the time...big inputs mean big corrections..big corrections can lead to bigger corrections the opposite way....and it becomes cyclic. Another tip, is when you fly, look around for places to set her down in and around the airport in the event the engine takes a nap. The -50 uses little runway so straight ahead on my field works fine (depending on alit). I now climb out steeper for altitude that I can trade for AS if I need it. I am trying to keep my patterns tight and come off the perch at idle. (But idle is NOT the same as a windmilling prop). I have escape routes in the event something goes wrong. When you are flying into a new field, look around while you are in the pattern...or come in a 500 or 1000 feet above pattern ALT and do some airport FAM. These motors are bullet proof but not immune to simple and fatal failures. Take care of them and they will take care of you. When they talk to you...listen!

Turns will kill you! You just have to go out and try it and see what it is really like. Get some altitude, put the airplane in take-off configuration, and yank the power. At altitude it is not dangerous and actually experiencing what the airplane does is about 1,000,000x better than listening to others tell you about it. Personally I find that it is very natural to maintain an approximate AoA when the power goes away. It isn't a push -- it is more of an "unload". But none of what I say means a thing until you go try it out yourself. > > The -50 will fly a very low airspeeds while maintaing a ton of > control authority. Any airplane will fly at any airspeed if you stay under critical AoA. > I would highly recommend everyone taking an upset training course! > Best money I have ever spent on training and learned way more than > I thought I would!

The media was there to take pictures of airplanes because one of those dangerous experimental KitFoxes from Cameron Park crashed at nearby Placerville earlier in the day. (It was a bad aviation day at Cameron Park.) As for the Banana, the bone-head loaded four big, fat guys into the airplane, loaded up with a couple of cases of water, filled the tanks and then took off on a 100F day *DOWNWIND*! Even so he probably would have made it if he kept his head but I suspect that the gently rising terrain at the N end of the runway (the runway and overrun slope up there) panicked him and he tried to make the plane climb more steeply. <sigh> We don't need this kind of help here. > > > Gang, > > Below is a news video link of a Bonanza departure crash.
