- An Ilyushin IL-18 Coot ( Alada D2-FFR) Operated by DHL aborts takeoff from the 8202 ft long airstrip at Cabinda, West Africa. The pilot has done an excellent job; - there's a busy public road beyond the boundary fence,less than 50 metres from the end of the runway.
Please don't ask me why he aborted; Sorry, I simply don't know.
I have been advised that in point of fact this is a (former) IL-22 airborne command post stripped of mission equipment - note the fin tip pod which regular IL-18s do not have. Thanks to MrZlodeus for this info
This old coot remained in service; spotted at Luanda on 13th July 2009
The strength of the landing gear is amazing when you think of how much force is on them when running into the soft ground, let alone the torque caused from trying to stop. Wow.
There is something with these turboprop multiengine transports. They are absolutely beautiful!. Nice drift at the end BTW
"We're too heavy."
"Proceed."
"Our wheel is on fire."
"Proceed."
"We forgot the vodka at the terminal."
"ABORT!"
2:39 "Who the hell forgot to load the vodka?!?!?"
😡
Two moron racists - ABORT.

The reason people make vodka jokes about Russians is because the best vodka in the world is made in Russia.. its not intended to be racist, just funny a bit silly
@@Maloy7800 are you that stupid?
well thats one way to put the fire out

Well, if you can put out fires with sand, you could use mud as well, preventing Oxygen from reaching the points of fire.
@@sarkarkamalsayeed3866 yes you can its called smothering , or dry fire fighting
on the +side, the dirt put out the wheel fire!
Pretty sure that was the brakes...not the wheels on fire!
@@tom201090 Ie a wheel fire
good one
At the same time provided much needed deceleration to stop the aircraft veering into the ditch ahead. The lucky dirt

Great catch! Would you be okay with me featuring this in an episode of Weekly Dose of Aviation? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description.
Yeah Totally Man! Hit it!
No
Il-18 is a Russian plane which was an absolute superstar of this generation.A highest quality plane after all possible features.Flew by Il-18 when i was a child.
Soviet airliner, not Russian! How much Soviet aircraft was scattered across Africa and similar countries for next to nothing in the early 90s.....
Holy Crap! That's not what you expected when you shoot this video?! Very good pilot, well done! 5/5
Impressive responsetime on the firetruck, didn't expect that considering where they are, you can hear the sirens at 1:58 into the clip
It helps not to take off with a tail wind. Look which way the smoke is blowing after it goes all wrong. You can hear the wind in the recorded soundtrack
I like all your video😃
leokimvideo krienų sodinima
great point. 8000 ft seems like alot of runway, but he didn't do himself any favours by the choice of runway (direction).
wind direction is not the issue here. looks like wrong v1 calculation or stopping after v1...

Amazing , fantastic camerawork and in the ideal position! No zooming in and out until the very end. Practically perfect....Oh and I guess the pilot did well too....

Thats exactly what happened and the aircraft is still in service
Thats nuts! An operating airstrip with lots of people milling around right on the edge of the runway. I certainly would not have stood recording this from that distance from the runway.
as Ace Ventura would say.. "LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLike A GLOVE!"

Well I saw this old crate at Luanda airport less than 28 days ago so totalled it AIN'T.
It's russian built, don't forget.
What about now?
It dead yet?
@@kaz633 Most of the info says it's active, but planesporter doesn't show any info for the plans number, so it's probably dead by now.

Well, it looks like you are talking about..... and that is the most thorough and comprehensive explanation I have read so far so thank you sir.
The runway just wasn't quite finished yet.
Amazing capture ! Would you mind if I use part of this video , in one of my next episodes?Of course with a link back to your original video. Peace!
I've flown in a bunch of Russian equipment and I can say that flying in an IL is quite a reassuring experience. They're tough as hell and seriously overpowered (IL-86 is a great plane)
The US Federal Aviation Administration defines it as: V1 means the maximum speed in the takeoff at which the pilot must take the first action (e.g., apply brakes, reduce thrust, deploy speed brakes) to stop the airplane within the accelerate-stop distance. V1 also means the minimum speed in the takeoff, following a failure of the critical engine at VEF, at which the pilot can continue the takeoff and achieve the required height above the takeoff surface within the takeoff distance.
lol pilot yelling like a trucker xD
it's called the wagonwheel effect, it's an optical illusion in which a spoked wheel appears to rotate differently from its true rotation. The wheel can appear to rotate more slowly than the true rotation, stationary, or in the opposite direction from the true rotation. The wagon-wheel effect is most often seen in film or television depictions of stagecoaches or wagons, although recordings of any regularly spoked wheel will show it, such as helicopter rotors and aircraft propellers.
wow, no landing gear collapsing
+Martin yeah, great!
Russian designs bro :D
Landing gear is supposed to be able to take around 5 times the weight of an aircraft, no shit Sherlock!
Define "take", Mr. Aerospace Engineer. Because if you think any suspension can handle vertical loading of five times the weight of a fully loaded vehicle without something giving, you're a fucking idiot. Of course a lot of airplanes DO have landing gear constructed with a "fuse" of some sort built in to help dissipate and slow down SOME of the massive and rapid weight transfer from the wings to the wheels and gear and obviously the airframe itself. But those "fuses" are also there so that its immediately obvious to the ground crew and any pilot who does a pre-flight walkaround and who knows what he's looking for that THE PLANE ISN"T AIRWORTHY until its fully inspected and repaired after a "hard landing". And just because the LANDING GEAR is "supposed to be able to take around 5 times the weight of an aircraft" doesn't mean the ENGINE MOUNT PYLONS or WING STRUCTURE will. You're basically full of shit. The "ultimate test" of an aircraft is the "design limit load test" where the most important parts that either live through any abuse or kill you with them, they WINGS or WING since even a "pair of wings" has to act as ONE STRUCTURE which is where the "cantilever" part comes in, is loaded to 150% of design limit load. Which basically means if the plane has a maximum take off weight of say 100,000 lbs, they build a carefully engineered and constructed and precisely controlled and instrumented test rig that holds the airframe down to the ground, usually by securing the landing gear to the floor or perching the airframe on stands that act as the landing gear, while a bunch of "hoists" pull UP on the wing and load it equally end to end just as it would be loaded if suddenly the plane wasn't flying and "stalled" but the wing was still supported by air underneath trying to "catch" the dropping plane. THAT is the worst-case scenario for any plane and with no engines hanging under it to help offset the lift and keep it straight and no fuel tanks to ballast it, its just a pure wing getting maximum "lift" from above with no chance the "lift" can overcome the "drag" pulling it down. To be FAA certified a commercial airliner has to make 150% of that max load, which theoretically means pulling up on the wings with 150,000 pounds of force but its a much tougher test than any real flying situation that even if possible could load the aircraft that way in. Because as the wing bends upward it becomes "stiffer" the more it bends and it also becomes shorter and its being pulled apart LENGTHWISE to a larger and larger degree. There are RUclips videos of at least a couple of Boeing planes getting the design limit load test. They test them to destruction. The rigs don't stop pulling until the wing snaps. The engineers love it and it lets them see how smart and accurate and precise they are with their calculations because they do all the "test" on paper before the real thing and have their prediction for not only the load reached before failure but where the wing will fail and how. The Boeing guys usually nail it and Boeing planes hit 154-156% of design limit load, they snap in locations where there would still be at least part of a chance of getting the plane down somewhat "safely" or at least controllably enough with a full tail section left and only ONE wing or side of the wing broken that there might be a chance to survive it. Many planes have landed safely sans all or a lot of one wing. Pretty much all American planes, of course. And military aircraft at that. But Boeing airliners ARE "miiltary" airplanes as far as those purchased by U.S. airlines and freight companies, since they're pretty much all financed in part by the U.S. government who in exchange for the "loan" gets to "commandeer" them and aircrews to fly them from their "owners" in case of a national emergency where the government needs to get lots of people long distances fast. Airlines are "common carriers". Another reason U.S. manufacturers have always overbuilt the hell out of them, along with the fact that the same people who build them fly on them and have friends and family who do. Even the overpaid CEOs. But when they test them for design limit load, another indication of just how good the engineers and people building the planes are is that the wing will snap on both sides basically simultaneously. Of course one side actually snaps first and a fraction of a second later the other side does when it gets shock-loaded and overstressed by the "shock wave" that comes to it through the fuselage and/or wing box, but it happens so fast it looks like they both go simultaneously. The videos are amazing. I believe the 777 wing ended up "deflecting" 28 feet at the tips. Meaning the wingtip ended up being 28 feet above its normal, unloaded position when the plane is intact, fully-equipped and on the ground. 28 feet. The Airbus A380 is apparently the only Airbus ever tested or supposedly tested, and it "failed" the test and only made it to around 146% of design limit load. Supposedly by only adding like 60 lbs of material to the wing it then passed a "finite element analysis" test, which means they "modeled" the second "test" on a computer with different numbers until the plane "passed". But if they used the "rig" they are supposedly doing just normal wing "flex" tests for "fatique testing" for their supposed REAL test, their REAL test was a joke. Their rig uses maybe half a dozen hydraulic cylinders to push up on the wing from below. Wings aren't loaded from below. They're loaded from above as the lower air pressure above them "pulls up" on them. Which is what Boeing's rigs do. With DOZENS of attaching points all over the entire wing. Probably about one per square foot or maybe 5 square feet, I'm guessing. Regardless, a shitload more than Airbus uses and its all set up to replicate actual loads in an all but impossible situation. But that's how you design an airplane hundreds of people will be in at pretty much any and every "worst-case" scenario it ever encounters in "real-life" which hopefull will end in it being retired when its lasted way past its designed service life. Airbus builds planes to a price and for a "planned" service life rather than a DESIGNED service life of basically "infinity" IF the plane is never pushed beyond that almost impossible worst-case load scenario. Which is why if you want to keep doing D-checks on a Boeing and tearing it half apart to replace the little odds and ends here and there where cracks and corrosion form during 12,000 or so flight hours or whatever the recommended "total and complete inspection" service point is according to the manufacturer, and you want to keep buying some expensive parts and doing expensive factory-authorized repairs AND new approved parts are available forever, you can keep a Boeing or any other American plane ever made FLYING forever. That's why DC-3/C-47s with hundreds of thousands of flight hours on their 80-year-old airframes are still flown commercially today. The fact that they're equipped with maintenance-intensive and kind of "needy" radial engines that are expensive and time-consumingn to maintain properly but WAY more expensive to NEGLECT helps. They have a TBO or "Time Between Overhauls" of maybe 1500-2000 hours, you have to rebuild them because no new ones have been built for probably 70 years and that's not something you do in a day. So those planes end up with some significant hangar time and a lot of disassembly on the wings already done and plenty of time to give them a good looking over in the well-known "weak points" they have few if any of. All it takes to keep a good plane flying forever is dedication and a little skill and knowledge and desire to find problems in the hangar rather than at altitude.
Russian aircraft are usually pretty robust in that department. They don't seem to spend a lot on runway maintenance, and often their aircraft are bought by operators flying out of third world airports with barely serviceable runways. They gotta be tough. Good news was all that dirt he plowed put the brake fire out, bad news is all that shit flying around didn't do those turbines any favors...
performance calculation wasn't right - ASDA (Acceleration Stop Distance Available) was much shorter than they thought or they aborted the takeoff after reaching V1 speed
Russian pilot adventures in Africa !
Brilliant piece of filming - congratulations. But, how did you hold your nerve for so long...and immediately in front of you? And, were those kids playing on or very near to an operational runway?
I don't know if you are being sarcastic here, but during the days of the USSR, all civilian aircraft operated by the old Aeroflot were compliant with all safety standards of the time and were on par with the rest of the world.
I can return the favour and present you quite a lot of USAF aircraft incidents with failing airframes. And trust me, Russian Airforce airframe failure incidents aren't greater in numbers than that of the USAF.
Shut up commie

your guess is as good as mine, he is standing in a restricted area when he shot this. The cameraman is almost certainly an employee of "HeliMalongo" , a local operator.
I can imagine the pilots: Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+Z, Ctrl PLUS FUCKING Z!!!!
Remember, you're watching a video. The propeller's rpm is a multiple of the video frame rate and so it looks like they've been stopped. I'm sure he used all the methods available to him to stop that plane, and in the last moments, took a turn into the dirt to avoid crashing through the barrier fence and onto the road.
The reason for aborting seems clear to me..they forgot vodka at the ramp

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
So funny.
The first thing I noticed was that the smoke and dust blew PAST him after he stopped. I've done some flying and it is my understanding that you take off INTO the wind. His departure was downwind which would increase his takeoff roll.
Husband: Honey, I cant find my Land rover 4X4 keys. Wife: Just use your ilyushin 18 instead!
Don't forget that the video camera's frequency of recording makes them look like they're slower than they are. As well, he was making a turn, and you use differential power to assist in a turn. You can see he reduces the power on the left side and all the props look the same speed.
Russian aircraft are made well. Sandpit saved the aircraft from serious damage.

I think the brakes on the main landing gear were engaged. The tires on both sides began smoking near the beginning of the takeoff roll. Then the tires on the right main became overheated and burst into flame. The pilot couldn't know the tires were burning but he couldn't get up to takeoff speed because of the brakes. That could also explain why the plane pulled off the runway to the right.
Oh really? That's a perfectly flyable aircraft. How about dismantling a shitload of DC-2's flying over the US? What? No? What's that? HISTORICAL VALUE? I see...
Thank you very much for your kind comment and your enlightment. I am sorry if I sounded rude or something. I certainly did not mean to offend any one. Yet, you are right when you talk about my ignorance about foreign countries and languages. I would be very pleased to learn though if I had a chance. I thought Portuguese was the language spoken in Portugal and Ebolian the language of Embola but I must have mixed things up. I am sorry for that. And I will never hate, only love.
Engine Backfire. If you listen, at about 1:23 you hear the sound of at least one engine backfiring, and then you hear the brakes. An engine backfire in a turboprop at full TO/GA power is cause for an immediate abort. The pilot was right at v2, and being that the brakes on that POS are probably in bad shape, even at the v2 limit it didn't stop in time. A great job by a great pilot... POS plane.
Cody King Source: Commercial pilot for 16 years now.
Cody King Also, for those that don't know, this is actually a jet engine powering a propeller, so in a traditional sense it isn't a backfire... it's called compressor surge, or N2 runaway.
Cody King Wouldn't that plane have had sufficient power in the remaining 3 engines to take off and go around for a landing? Dont certain compressor surges self correct or only require a reduction of power to correct or is that only in a turbo fan engine?? Just curious,not doubting your experience.
Why did the right wheels start to burn? And was engine not delivering enough power? Getting to hot? What could be the cause?
Cody King
That wasnt a compressor stall... that was the tires popping as he was stomping on the brakes for the high speed abort.
The camera man who thought he was a safe distance soon learned otherwise....

Yes, and probably Russian trained Cuban pilots. Lots of Cubans still in Angola since their civil war.

A lot of people believe the SuperJet 100 incident during a demonstration flight in Asia was no incident at all. Airbus doesn't need a competitor...
The airframe design in the soviet union was sound. Most incidents happen due to pilot error and mis-maintenance and not due to bad design. That what I wanted to point out. I come from a family of pilots and during the soviet times the standards were very high, trust me.
il 18 hase a strong front leg, good old machine
Exactly what you expect from a top-notch emergency response crew : stand next to an airplane full of gas and brakes that are 3 million degrees and take pictures.
@Ivo27BG And so say all of us. Twice in the past, I have had to disable all the comments on this clip. and sad to say, all the racist comments are coming FROM one particular country. Let's stick to comments about aviation.
Camera recording and walking SLOOOOWLY to the aircraft is the best way to respond to a situation like this....
did they calculate V1? and if so, why did they abort past it.....? this should not happen
+AV8R I'm guessing that because they're not operating under FAA regulations, they think they can do any crazy unsafe thing they want. They lack a true understanding of the term, "Safety Culture".
I mean... The vast majority of airlines around the world are not operating under FAA regulations, since the FAA's jurisdiction only extends to the USA. I don't think that's the issue here, yes, the lack of regulation is an issue but there are other relevant regulatory bodies
Matthias Heindl There are other regulating bodies, but the FAA and it's European counterpart have a lot of weight and if you want to fly in the free world, you have to do it their way. I'm not complaining, I think it's a good thing.
who cares guys i wish i never asked since it's starting the standard "aviation video wiener measuring contest"
Takeoff has to be be abortet also after v1 if the aircraft appears to be uncontrollable.
I read somewhere that ground crew forgot to take the gust locks before take-off, in this case, the aircraft cannot fly at all. It also means the pilots didn't do a proper pre-flight check. That would explain why the pilot is hangrily shaking his stick at the end : it won't do anything with the control surfaces locked...
hooray for the sand trap
Thank you very much again. You are indeed a very rare case. I always thought school was very boring too and I never liked to study or to read. I'll try to do that from now on. I'll start by reading about your country, Ebola, and hopefully someday visit it and learn some portuguese too, since that the language Ebolians speak. Have a nice day and a nice evening too.
who see in2018?
This might sound so weird when I say this but the Ilyushin il-18 scares me, like the look of it of how it’s designed scares me, idk why but it does.
Good job on whoever deployed the siren! You definitely don't want to turn that off just because everyone within a two mile radius saw what happened and is choking to death on burnt rubber.... The chaos of the situation wouldn't be complete if you didn't tool up to the aircraft at 4 mph and 226 decibels...... Finish your cigarette and texting a pic to your mother before you even think about sending your hand in the direction of the ALLOW EVERYONE ELSE IN THE DISTRICT TO FREELY COMMUNICATE switch!
You can hear the tyres bursting at 1:24. In reality they would of course had burst some seconds earlier (speed of sound being about 350m/s at 30C) as indicated by the smoke.
Yeah I bet the IL-18 was overloaded with vodka...I flew in a Il-76 in Angola and it was...
DHL is German.
When breaking so hard it creates a friction

Hahahaha!
The sand blocked the aircraft and extinguish the fire. A great pilot...
Dont EVER fly African airlines
this is DHL air freight with Soviet made aircraft.
Lol idiot.
thats the tire popping, he didnt have very much lateral control of the plane and was weaving back and forth on the runway. he blew his tires from going back and forth across the runway
lol thats what happens when you try to fly garbage
+Aj Ward That's a really old plane, did you notice the landing gear is still intact?
+Aj Ward Well, it seems to me this "garbage" have done it's job like a champ!
It really is a testament to how wrong most of the dumbasses in my country were about Russian engineering.
I'm a boeing guy but russian planes are built to a much different rigorous spec then american planes.
Aj Ward it looks you only watch cartoons little fella ! grow some balls and watch brand new planes with engine trouble ! those type of engines are very dependable ....probably you dont know about it....cheers !
@funkymonkey969: I have to agree with you. The wind is not very strong but the smoke does get blown onto the aircraft and further past it, rather then away from it. Good eye...
One of the best plane videos on youtube...I never saw flaps deployed.....
nice vid... thx for posting...
good thing it ran off into the sand... helped put out the brake fire... (pilot must've been standing on em :) )
hey... do the FEs have to figure out V1 speeds prior to takeoff in these types?
--Mike
@wilsonjon feathering a prop is a procedure that is usually performed if you have an engine failure in a multi engine prop aircraft, it's basically where the prop blades are rotated so they are in line with the passing airflow, so they are not generating any thrust, but not creating much drag. If the pilots had simply feathered the props, there is no way the aircraft could have stopped in that shorter distance, from what I can tell, it looks like they were reversed
@andaula: reverse thrust on a prop plane from what i understand involves reversal of the propeller blades pitch and so the blades always turn the same way. The prop doesn't stop and then spin the other way.
There is a very good chance the cameraman was himself a qualified pilot ( you need to work for helimalongo to stand there?) and some incident was expected, which is why he was filming in the first place. It's highly unusual for aircraft to take off "south to north" on this airstrip.
Great catch!
Good response by the airport fire department! (I would have videoed them coming.) You can still go back to filming the aircraft.
Anyway to learn what happened?
Russian pilot: this is gonna be a long flight do we have enough vodka on board?
Hostess: 1 bottle
Russian pilot: Abort Abort Abort.
And the camera pans into the pilot in the cockpit. A cool cameraperson indeed.
I love the fire response at 3:07... 2 guys and a fire extinguisher. good thing there was sand at the end of the runway
Thats the best explanation I have heard yet. Thanks.
The pilot always has final say over his decisions, not the tower. If the tower "ordered" him to abort the takeoff beyond the point that the pilot feels it's safe all he needs to do is respond accordingly ("Unable" to put it tersely) and continue along the safe course of action.
Fantastic footage, thank you for uploading!
You are SO right about that. I've just watched the video again and realized I was probably wrong. Around 1:24 you can clearly hear several "pops" which are aparently the tires blowing up from the hard breaking. Another one is heard around 1:36. But again, I'm not sure.
"would u mind telling me what V2 is?"
Easily Googled, but V2 is the speed needed to maintain takeoff after rotation (Vr) even if a lost engine happens after V1. An engine can still fail after passing V1 during acceleration and that is why V2 is marked. Naturally 99.999% of the time these reference speeds of V1 and V2 will never be used for purpose (Vr obviously is always used). But that .001% of the time (or whatever) with an engine fail, they matter. That's why they're used at all times.
I am. And I agree. Il-18 was a brilliant airplane. Still is. And that's some strong ass landing gear which was designed to forgive little pilot mistakes. Like this one.
But what really amazes me is the pilot's quick thinking. He COULD have stopped on the runway (if I can see correctly) but instead he veered off into the sand to put off the burning tire. VERY well done.
Well the aircraft ceretainly wasn't destroyed. In fact it flew out of there a couple of weeks later, and can still regularly be seen at Luanda airport.
Nice to see the professional looking flight crew at the cockpit window! It was fortuitous that the sand in the runoff area doused the overheated brakes and flaming tyres. Uncontrolled fire and a fully fuelled aircraft is a recipe for disaster. All involved are very lucky to be alive IMHO.
this accident happened in Angola in Cabinda city, the aircraft belongs to the same company ALADA ANGOLA
I could tell that his right wheel was running low before he hit the brakes. You see leaning a bit to the right (left side from our view) on the takeoff roll.
That. Was. Incredible! That he kept it on the wheels is a miracle.
That dirt drove on to on purpose is what put that wheel fire out!!Man those engines sounds sweet.
I love prop planes.Did the bearing freeze up or a tire blow out to cause a fire on the wheel area??
Copilot- "Aw man, you know what? I forgot my wallet."
Pilot- "Ya kiddin' me?! Ugh." *Hits brakes and stops plane*
Copilot- "Oh hold on, yep, HERE IT IS! Never mind, we can go now."
Pilot- "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!"
The props can reverse pitch. Meaning the blades can switch so instead of pulling forward they push back and help slow the plane.
Accelerate-stop distance in this case IS the runway, because there is no overrun area, paved and marked with the appropriate chevrons.
He discovered that the runway was to short the plane was simply overloaded.
holy shit that pilot had balls, nice job for saving the aircraft!
V1 is the speed at which you may not be able to stop in time so you deal with issues in the air. At V1 you are also fast enough to climb out wthout one engine so its "balanced".
Wow, thank you very,very much. That explains why he couldn't get her stopped. Thanks again.
I just love how the sand did more help than the workers.....
