How to Beach a Turbine Grumman Mallard

- Watch as we beach one of our 1947 Turbine Grumman Mallard at nearby Rankin Point. The use of Beta and Reverse on the PT6A-34 engine helps us back the plane on the beach. Pitch locks on the props keep the props locked in the reverse position helping us move away from the beach easily.
Love the sound of those PT6's and the distinct prop sound.
Looks so easy on calm day with no wind!.. but glad to see you have the procedure down pat now, Dan. No more hats being blown across the sand-bar :-)
Way to cool video.....................thanks for posting, look forward to more of them too

Great video, thanks for posting!
Such a beautiful bird , so bad there are just a few
They don’t make them anymore ?
@@MalditoLocaDeLosMina not at all, only like 10 flying in the world
Sounds like someone doesn’t want to make money anymore
@@MalditoLocaDeLosMina these are from the 40s-50s the reason why they lost their popularity is the amount of fuel burned to go slower than a landplane. Id love one, but you have to have the right mission
Skillz baby 👍👍👍
So I’m ignorant to this subject. Can someone explain why is the rope tied from tail to wing float?
Pitch locks. Im so doing this on my 206.
And if there’s a strong wind? That must make it a lot harder.
@pumarolz Frakes Aviation makes NEW ..if you have the jungle. ONLY reason I play Lottery..
With the landing gear, do you ever fully beach the aircraft? For things like maintenance, etc...
Does the FO wear stockings in case of Stingers ?
Paul Radford yes
@@thatmallardguy7955 Good thinking. I thought that might be why.
3:17 release the brake and taxi out
Nice job n beautiful bird! But I didn't see the use of an after shutdown check list! Complacency is a bad habit to adopt in aviation.
Or you could just drop the gear and roll up on the beach...oh wait, it’s not a goose...never mind ....lol
