Had he loaded the ILS approach. He would’ve had some guidance especially if he had ForeFlight. Great job by the controller, but sad situation.

This trilingual Aerobatics CFI taught 5 kinds of EFATO on runway too, not just at 2k feet high in 1990's and did this crazy video in 1995. He was my Bush Pilot CFI too. See this 40 minutes video.. No BS. He never crashed in 11 emergencies.. ruclips.net/video/1wd36uFPjbg/видео.html

Something happened at Roy E. Ray Airport in Mobile County Al. In the 80's. with Cessena 182. Pilot was the first one out. His first jump. No injuries.

Suggestion: Put your name and phone number on that part, so if you lose it again and someone finds it they can call you and return it.

I was just out there 3 or so weeks ago. Gear goddamn checks, people. That actually was a perfectly good airplane.

My mother did some sky diving in the 1970's, this was in the days of round cutes and student sky divers made their first jump solo. Her instructor was later killed after a sky diver's parachute deployed prematurely and became entangled in the tail. The drag caused the plane to stall, but the instructor went back and managed to cut the parachute free but the plane pitched up violently. The instructor knew this was because his weight had shifted the plane's CG far to the aft so he jumped off, allowing the pilot to recover the plane. The plane landed safely but though the instructor deployed his chute right away, it wasn't even close to deploying fully before the instructor hit the ground. It is very likely the instructor knew they were way too low for his parachute to work. I think they were bellow 200 feet.

Nice work man👍

Sounds to me like people are jumping out of the wrong kind of airplane, or simply aren't setting their gear up properly. Or both. There should never be the possibility of chutes opening by accident, and striking part of the airplane upon exiting should be impossible. I know there are aircraft designed in such a way that jumpers have nothing they can hit...why are they jumping out of aircraft unsuited to safely exiting?

I remember vividly my fifth jump at Ft Benning. Due to weather we jumped Hollywood that day. I get JMPI’ed. Make a wonderful jump. Get back to the chute shed. Go to turn in my equipment. Jump master asks a few questions. Normally when asked to check the color of the tape on our handles it’s a moot point. Today however I notice at this moment that my tape colors don’t match what’s being noted as normal. I raise my hand. This elicits many looks my direction with awkward faces on each. See I should have had Blue on one handle Yellow on the other. I had Blue and White. It wasn’t till a CW5 (this is the first I’ve ever seen one in person) comes out of a back room and explains the situation… See what I just jumped with was a static display (demo) reserve. It wasn’t meant to be along with the jumpable ones… but it somehow managed to make its way. I was so excited to not have found out prior to when I did. How horrible it would have been to count to four, check main, need to deploy reserve only to find out there is no spring in the pack tray to push it out… Tera FIRMA wouldn’t have cared one bit.

If you want to hear a beautiful plane, can't hardly beat the Beech 18 as far as I'm concerned, which isn't too far I guess. I wonder if I've seen this one over Superior?

I saw the vids of this. ty Kerry

Pin checks are most important in those small Cessnas. Did you find your free bag, or did you have to replace it along with your cutaway handle?

Jumping out of a perfectly airworthy Airplane...Nope, not me sir....🤔😳🙄🇬🇧

Reminds me of Saturday mornings, decades ago, just chillin' with my chums, chutes packed and playing hacky-sack on dew-covered municipal airstrips while waiting for pilots to start showing up, begging for lifts and stuffing too many jumpers into the empty fusilages of the willing. Tiny single-prop Pipers, Cessnas, Beachcrafts--barely enough room to breath. Tumbling out at altitude, giggling all the way... Thanks, Kerry!

I only have 64 jumps and 25 hours in small fixed wing and 150 hours in light rotorcraft, but the scariest scenario for me was material out of the bag during jump operations. I never saw it, but I was always scared of it.

Baldwin Wisconsin? I have skydived there probably jumped from the same plane.

Good stuff right there. I jumped for several years. Had some interesting occurrences, for sure! Learned out of a Cessna 206 and with the cargo door being behind the wing and near the horizontal stabilizer, I was concerned about hitting it on exit. My instructor brought a broom on a jump, gave it to me, and told me to try to hit the tail with it on exit. Wasn’t even close to hitting it. (Then I had to figure out what to do with the broom!!). Having a ‘chute open in the plane or while exiting was always a legitimate concern. Obviously. (Knock on wood…never happened.). Again, good stuff and thanks for posting.

I had a parachute on my hang gl8der. Never in years did i ever have to use it. I always wondered what it looked like. So i went out front and looked at it. A loop of strap was around my foot . A big thermal picked it up and drug me into a bizy intersection. Boy was i stupid

I have 3 kids from pre-mature deployment!

"High-g" implies _spiral dive_ rather than flat spin (whether or not it developed from one). Also, stable-design (ie typical) planes can't enter or remain in a flat spin (which is more like a sycamore seed falling) without significant control input (or I guess control surface damage) "conducive" to maintaining it. Prior to U.K. safety rules changes, I was trained in and (deliberately) experienced loads of both descent-modes (spins & spirals) in gliding and a few instances in powered light aircraft. BTW: It's amazing how many g's a glider can pull in spiral dive - my max. ever (which was under instruction) being about 5g - right on the glider's permitted wings-load limit. Making it hard to breath and me a little light headed. Big long wings can make for really tight turns at speed!

I have zero skydiving experience and I intend to keep it that way. But from the edge of my bed I feel like somebody should make airplanes for skydiving with better exits. Like a ramp out the back underneath, with a tail design that is out of the way. This seems simple, a bus with wings and a back door, and a high tail. But I'm not an aircraft engineer either..

You've had 31 reserve rides? Yikes! I've done almost 6000 jumps over 50 years with 4 cutaways. But then I'm a Style and Accuracy guy and never had to worry about my rig being grabbed by someone else in freefall. Blue skies, Bud. Toronto, Canada ( "Meat-bombs", never heard that one before, brilliant!)

Thank you for explaining what happened. I understand now what happened. The news report I read made no sense.

Unless it was a dire emergency, I would never jump out of a perfectly good plane, and I would think twice about it in the emergency!

Jeez... I guess you can be the best prepared pilot in the world and all that goes out the jump door when you get some banana brained jumpers who do some crap like this.

4:39 Is that skydiving hand signal? Like "hey, my main is bad I'm using my reserve." Or are you giving the guy that accidentally dislodged your cut away handle the finger?

Sad that she and her father paid the ultimate price, but if there is a good side to this at least she didn't go down in a residential area. It is evident that she was not at the skill level for that aircraft and was not willing to admit it. She had enough video evidence had she really critiqued herself. Lot's of blame to go around here, but she was at the controls!

How did the shoot damage the tail.? In the video it looks like it just slides across it. I really glad the pilot was able to parachute out and everyone was okay.

I don't understand what the hurry was for her to use AP???.... Ijust dont get it. I'm not leaving the ground until I master basic flying. Any updates???

That is NOT the video of that jump... the whole video is on Teem Friday Freakout. His main container opened during climbout

Kerry, am pleased to see you still at Baldwin. Been long since we flew together, about 25 years by my reckoning. Tried searching for N17393, "The Beav" but no luck. "39B"" is here in Colorado somewhere. Looking forward to following your posts. Stay safe!

Subscribed. I am a pilot and Skydiver.

So-called 'skydiving' is a ridiculously stupid, bad for the environment, waste of time and money, pastime! Anyone who engages in it is stupid beyond words! Signed: Ex Paratrooper.

The 1st vid clip shows no visible damage to the elevator or rudder. No metal is shown coming off the plane or fabric stuck to the flight surfaces which could have impeached movement.

The Cessna 206 comes in two variants. The C206 and U206. The C206 has its starboard side door at the strut. The U206, U for "utility", has the door aft, closer to the tail. The drop zone I first started jumping at had a C206. Have also jumped out of the U206. The U has a nice large door in comparison to the C. But it is also closer to the tail. I would need to check my log book, but I might have jumped out of that plane prior to it getting the turbine conversion.

Stupid sport. Training methods stink. Equipment is very faulty from what I can see. Sorry

Simple solution: Convert the tail into a 'T-tail', so that there is no chance of any parachutists hitting the horizontal tail surfaces.

Well done! It's great to hear that super experienced skydivers like you are eager to hone other skills too!

Why would the 206 pilot need to climb to the back to the jump door? He has his own door right beside him, just like nearly every Cessna single other than the 195.

the jump master is suppose to be checking everyone as they get in the plane and watch to make sure everything is where it is suppose to be. as for as main and reserve parachutes, my jump master told me the first one is for fun and the second one is for real.

How does a cloth parachute damage a metal flight control surface via the impact only? That's my interpretation of the explanation I'm hearing. I can understand a parachute tangling and preventing the control surface from being moved, but that's not what was said. I'm confused.

The paint scheme on the photo of N29173 reminds me of Pilgrim Airlines. Grateful everyone involved made it out safe.

Dropping meat bombs?😳😳😳

Still think v-tails or t-tails are best for skydiving aircraft. The old Shorts Skyvans were also great, with their rear ramps.

I am kind of glad I am no longer flying the Twin Otter at the local jump zone. I used to look at those props, there is no way I could get out of that plane.

Amazing!! I had a cut away on a halo jump in 94!! Watching my main tangle and non deployed makes you love your reserve!! Great channel!! New sub here!

Once again proving it is safer to jump out of a plane than land in it.

Pedestrians have the right of way. Plane hit him, and is at fault.

Someone told me about the time he was flying jumpers in a fabric covered plane. One of the jumpers somehow tore the fuselage fabric and a section was long enough to wrap the empenage. He manged to get it under control and land safely. He was feeling like a hero. Then the owner chewed him out for not using his chute and letting plane go., as now the repair was going to cost him vs an insurance payout for the plane.

Seen a few accidental deployments on the step.Did I hear you right ? You used your reserve 31 times in 38 years of jumping. Lots of sloppy packing...D-7516..
