    Subject: Re: ditching a low wing radial
    Hmmm, as a long-time Yak list lurker whose true home is on the Rocket forum....(but who's a part owner in a Yak 3 in NZ, close to being finished).... I've had two real no-$%@# engine failures. (Carb ice issues - sorted now.) First one, a long time ago now, I was mainly lucky - was pretty inexperienced, but I knew enough to keep my airspeed up, did OK, but thank you Lady Luck. After that I practiced FLWOPs a lot. Second real one was in a very narrow canyon, in the mountains. Managed to slew her onto a river bank with almost no damage to aircraft and none to self. STILL quite a bit of luck - but constant practice allowed me to be in the position to benefit from luck. As one of my warbird CFIs likes to say, "the more I practice, the luckier I get". I was AMAZED, both times but particularly the first, how my mind just went blank, and I forget nearly everything I'd been trained to do. Panic can really do a number on your training, so it's gotta become AUTOMATIC - which means, as Barry says, constant practice. And, I'd add, an appropriate mindset. The thing with piston warbirds is that they are reliable - but they're not perfectly, 100% reliable. Engines do quit, for all sorts of reasons. I was shocked, the first time it happened, at how bad my mind was at reminding me what to do. The only thing I knew, cos I "knew it in my bones" - was airspeed, airspeed, airspeed. It was so shocking and frightening - partly cos in both cases serious injury or worse seemed inevitable - that I forgot the stuff I'd been taught about landing with a failed engine. Just clean forgot - only remembered on the ground. Made me realise that the key is to practice over and over again, and again....and again.....so that even in a panic situation, you STILL remember the basics. It is indeed really good for one's general flying skills, albeit that it requires careful engine handling. It's also worth remembering - and practicing for - the fact that flying in inhospitable terrain may mean getting the aircraft into a spot which isn't big enough for an actual landing. In general, whatever one is flying into, if it's flattish, and one has zero rate of descent and minimum airspeed on touchdown, it'll generally be survivable. (Not sure if that applies to trees though!) Ditching? An important issue. Water is WAY harder than I used to think. (Trust me on that :) Ditching a heavy warbird, actually any aircraft, is a big deal. Worth really thinking about, and planning, again so it becomes automatic, so when the real thing happens, and the white noise takes over one's brain, it's still possible to get it more or less right. A lot of aircraft do turn turtle, although a retractable has a good chance of staying right way up. (Will still be a big deceleration though, which can cause all sorts of injuries - another reason to use a helmet.) I won't try and issue a lecture on how to ditch - there are many people who know a lot more than me - but again, practice and mindset, I reckon, is crucial. I fly over Cook Strait, in New Zealand, every week or so. Often I take the direct route, which means quite a while over the sea. In the spirit of "I'd rather be over-prepared than feel very silly", I always wear a life jacket, take a raft and flares, have a knife in my pocket to cut straps etc and (this is an easy step which could make a huge difference), a canopy-breaking tool, and always have a tiny "pony bottle" in the leg pocket of my flight suit. It's a small scuba bottle that gives me about 20 breaths if I need it. (eg, getting out of an upside down aircraft that's full of water, possibly while injured.) It's standard issue for most military flight crews flying over water, and I figure the aircraft doesn't know if it's ditching with a military pilot or a civvie :) I'd do the same if I was flying over Lake Michigan, or whatever... And, for what it's worth, Elmar, I'd NEVER take the trees over water. Unless they are remarkably small trees, or have clearings in them. Flying in inhospitable terrain can mean some very difficult choices if the fan goes quiet - but trees are, in general, kind of the very worst place one could force-land, I think. There are a number of problems with crashing in trees, mainly complications of, um, gravity and physics. I reckon a pony bottle and a good axe, plus disciplining oneself to undo the canopy just before ditching, would make the water a much less dangerous option, particularly in an aircraft with the stall speed of a Nanchang/Yak, which makes for a pretty low speed if done more or less into wind. (Although beware the wind/swell interaction - best not to land right into a swell, whatever the wind is doing.) There's no exact right or wrong answers, of course - just lots of free opinions - and people who've survived - and got hurt - in both situations. I hope that' s helpful. Not looking to spark any arguments, just sharing my thoughts...

    Subject: Re: ditching a low wing radial
    Elmar, Quite frankly I'd go for the water. I can't see where the cowl or the cockpit would effect the out come any differently. I live in Florida. If I only have a 'choice' of trees or water, I'll take the water any day (close to shore, cause I can't swim far) :-] In a lot of ditchings, the cowling may or may not stay in tacked at impact. It doesn't matter the design (radial or otherwise) either. As for the CJ canopy, I would love to have a mechanism to be able to jettison it. If it does not lock back good enough, it could slam forward at impact. Other than that, it might take a ditching OK. Not all aircraft ditch the same. There are many variables in a ditching. "Sea state" is one. Airspeed and aircraft attitude another. And aircraft design. You can have two different aircraft in the same weight and airspeed class, one will take to water like a duck while other makes a ditching very dangerous. One only has to look at the B-17 and B-24. Ditching a B-24 with its very light sliding bomb bay doors that would crush in at water impact, usually meant the fuselage would brake behind the wing. One vet told me of his B-24 ditching off Italy in a clam sea, that the airplane broke and sank with-in 10 seconds. There is a story of a B-17 ditching where the airplane had to be sunk by naval gun fire! A good friend of mine ditched a F4U. (Last person to do so) I asked him about the ditching. The sea was about calm (less than 2 foot chop). Since the engine quite at low altitude, he didn't have time to pick a good ditching heading. He tighten his straps and open the canopy. At impact the airplane swung around. He did not get injured in any way. He undid his straps and stepped out. A near by boat picked him up before the airplane sank in 90 feet of water. There is a very good video of a T-28 ditching into Tampa bay in April this year. Just a couple hundred feet at most from the end of the runway. Smooth water, GEAR AND FLAP DOWN! (he had an engine failure). The pilot stalled into the water from about 5 feet. At impact you could see the cowling fly off. The airplane went inverted and stayed that way. The water was very shallow at that spot, so it did not sink. Both pilot and GIB were fine. I am personally aware only one ditching that ever went wrong. During a S&R mission with CAP in CT, my crew and I found a Piper Cherokee in the bottom of a pond. The 4 occupants (1 man 2 women & a dog) had drowned. The airplane had very little damage (someone told me it was repaired. I doubt it). The reason they drowned, was because the door was held shut by the collapse of the leading edge root fairing, that had folded back against the door. (They could have kicked out side windows BTW) In ancient times back at Pan Am, once a year we'd spend a whole day on ditching (After all we did a LOT of over water flying). And any military pilot, can tell you, specially the transport ones, they go into great detail about ditching (You see they don't have those nice bang seats). Guys who come up though the "non professional" ranks usually don't get exposed to that type of training. Anyway if its trees, rocks, or water, I'll go for the water. If its a field or water - - most likely the field. (After all the EPA will be breather down my neck). ;-\ Jim "Pappy" Goolsby In a message dated 5/31/2011 2:15:05 A.M.

    While I personally hate anonymous posts and therefore rarely recognize them, the one by N395V says it all here. My guess is "ditching" into the trees has a somewhat lower survival rate. I have no idea what your friend is talking about when he says "due to the design of the cowl", makes no sense to me. I live in the western Rockies....lots of dry lake beds and ag fields....good places for "off site" landings around Salt Lake...but east of here it quickly gets pretty inhospitable for a forced landing....without a definitivly better option in sight, I'm taking the silk elevator. Gear up v. Gear down....when you look at the Yak-50 engine failure video from England, I can see very little reason to ever try to land with the gear down....you stop quickly (less than 100 yards) with minimal damage and minimize the chance of flipping on your back. Speaking of on your back....the guys survived the T-28 splash down even when the plane went on it's back...not something as likely to happen on dry ground. In fact, I just ferried a CJ over the Sierras. My options were pine trees, maybe highway 80 on some stretches, and lakes...which were partly frozen over. In my mind if my engine quit and I couldn't get to a straight stretch of highway, I was jumping. I envisioned myself ditching in one of those lakes, surviving the ditching, and then dying as I struggled to get through the ice in the lake.... Barry -------- Barry Hancock Worldwide Warbirds, Inc.

    Subject: Re: ditching a low wing radial
    Spitfires and Hurricanes had about a 75 % fatality rate in water ditchings. T he radiators grabbed and the aircraft would plunge under water, giving the p ilot a face full of water at about 80 mph. They were instructed to open cano py before impact. A Pitts went in the water and Assumed a vertical position, went all the wa y under , then popped up with canopy above water, still vertical. The un-inj ured occupants only then released the canopy and escaped. If my Sukhoi quits over water, I will bail out if able.

    Subject: audio systems for helmets
    From: "Joseph Colquitt" <jcolquit@law.ua.edu>
    In answer to the query about helmet audio installations, I have had good experience with Headsets Inc. They installed an ANR system in my helmet for me - reasonable prices, professional work, great to respond to queries. They later modified the system when I asked for a change. I moved from simple battery power with manual switching to auto-shutoff. Both have bailout cords and the ANR works well for me. There are others who supply audio systems and parts, and modify helmets with whom I have had NO good experiences (although others have). Headsets Inc 's website link is below. They have always been very responsive to me (and others that I know of). http://www.headsetsinc.com/ I have no connections with either outfit other than great experiences with one and lousy experiences with the other.

    From: doug sapp <dougsappllc@gmail.com>
    Paul, I think I would have to agree, dam trees always seem to be firmly attached to the ground! Also very few ditchings result in fires. I'd much rather take my chances with swimming after a *controlled* approach to a (hopefully) flat surface at *minimum* touch down speed. Trying to pull off a controlled approach with minimum touch down speed into rising terrain is not easy. Add trees and a few big rocks and you have really got your hands full. At least with water you can normally land into the wind and can arrive at the touch down point at the speed and attitude of your choosing. With big water where you often find high waves or big troughs, things can be different. As Barry stated, you must *practice*, it's even better if you can get some instruction. Those of us who already have that hat would encourage everyone of you to do simulated engine outs so you will have some familiarity with the procedures when it happens to you. Those who that think it won't happen to you are wrong, it's a matter of time, if you fly you WILL have some type of emergency that will require you to know your engine out procedures and while reading the available info and knowing your aircrafts numbers is a good start it is simply not enough when everything goes quiet. I was indeed very disappointed to discover that even with the offer of free fuel and free instruction, there were no takers for engine out training at ARS X. What does that say about us? I would be interested in reading your opinions. Hats off to Elmar for starting the thread about ditching.
