You know you’re in trouble when ATC gives you a number to call

[@lasing69]

What happens if you don’t call?

[@zachandcheese008]

They just want to be your friend

[@William43275]

That's the moment your brain says: wel f*ck.

[@Lordfarquad1213]

@@lasing69 A bad day gets oh so much worse

[@ZachPreczewski]

@@lasing69 They can't force you to call. If the FAA wants to file a violation, they will personally deliver it to you. The phone number is usually either a number to the tower or a number to the FSDO (Flight Standards District Office) and it's usually your way out of a serious violation. Calling takes your chances of being violated from like 75% to about 20%, obviously considering the offense required for a pilot deviation.

[@LanceRomanceF4E]

Was on a conventional bombing range in NM on a routine training sortie in an F-111F when the control tower asked for a “fly by” to impress the USAFA cadets that were watching the action on a tour. I flew 300’ at 420Kts for a safe pass and was ready to head home when the tower chief called the pass “weak” and asked for a re-attack. My next pass was 80’ and 540kts shaking the tower like a leaf. “Don’t do that again!” Was chief’s next radio call 😂.

[@afrog2666]

"Hey how bout some more there bud?" "ok dokey" "hey whoa, nah.." 😂

They were lucky, I know some that would have hit the afterburners as they passed.

[@RomNYC]

Aerosucre has become so big, they now have onboard footage. Netflix needs to produce a series on them.

[@Zac1r3d]

definitely👍

[@PHDarren]

The only reason it got into the air was they retracted the landing gear, then it continued flying at an altitude of 8ft.

[@user-ts5qg4mn2e]

Aerosucre always had a problem with climbing. It's because they put too much weight in the aircraft, forcing it to climb skywards very slowly. By the way, all us Four Brothers were at the viewing platform when we saw the QANTAS Boeing 737 plane landing at Perth Airport. It's something we'd never thought we'd see, but it's lucky that they didn't crash. Besides, QANTAS didn't have any plane crashes since 1951, so it's a very lucky landing. Congratulations on making this video. We always watch The Weekly Dose of Aviation, and it's good. Well done.

Ford Tri-Motor 2:20 caused the wake turbulence for the Bonanza.

[@maaltagabriel]

if not even A380s are immune to wake turbulence...

[@tepeassydac]

I'm pausing this to let my heart slow down a bit. Good choices of near-misses!

[@kstricl]

If I had the testbook on tail hook arrestor landings, that is what I imagine I would see.

[@IrishDave]

I don't think the Bonanza at Oshkosh was wake turbulence. It seems like he got too slow and lost lift over his wing and near stalled the plane. Thankfully for that pilot, the landing gear is stronger than anything.

[@wilsjane]

The only way it would have been possible, would have been coming in after a missed approach. Their is no significant wake turbulence behind the point where a departing aircraft commenced its take off roll.

[@IrishDave]

@@wilsjanethat’s not true.

[@SivaKanthSharma]

@@wilsjane but that was an arriving plane

[@davedixon2068]

Far as I could see the Bonanza;s left undercarriage leg was damaged when it hit the ground, it can be seen swinging in and out when it lifts from the ground it may have relocked but the clip stops before it can be seen if it collapses again

[@BN1960]

1:09 Landing. "Flying extremely low" Yeah, you kinda have to in order to land

[@TheGoat29078]

St. Martin is known for this. the runway start just the other side of the fence and people go there for this exact reason. This is not a near miss, happens several times a day with the bigger jets.

[@davidaxman]

I have never seen my dad afraid, only once. We were flying from NYC to Keflavik on Iceland and the turbulence was very bad, without seatbelts you would have flown out if your seat and there was stuff flying around the cabin. It took three attempts before we landed, and it was chilling in the first approach to see emergency vehicles prepared along the runway. I have never landed as rough. I've never experienced applause on an airplane as loud as that.

[@quietdominator666]

I work at a place where those F35s take off and do buzz byes. It’s like an adrenaline rush every time you hear one. You never get used to it.

[@TheNewfiechef]

I was at that airport in St Maarten and it's pretty cool how low they have to fly to land on the airport. Runway is short compared to most airports. They back up to the fence when taking off and Rev the e gives to full speed and then release the brakes to take off. People get blown onto the beach.

The aircraft approaching St Barths is not dangerously low, the round-a-bout is dangerously high.

[@texastrill5473]

I agree with George Carlin. It’s NOT a near miss, it’s a near hit. A collision is a near miss. KABOOM! Look, they nearly missed.

[@mike.47]

1:18 That is a perfectly normal approach and landing for Princess Juliana Airport, St. Maarten. 7:54 Again, this a perfectly normal approach to St. Barts.

[@billy1673]

That St Martin pilot was not in the wrong. That runway is a tourist attraction and the mindless drones line up along the fence to see how close the planes get.

[@alan-sk7ky]

No, they're standard Sint Maartens and Sint Bartheleme approaches....

[@morrisdyer9560]

If you don't hit close to that threshold @ St Bartholomew you may have to go around. Also, according to how the camera is set-up, the plane may look too close. They have about 140-200 feet above that road. Hay, then the beach says hello 🤗

"It was a near hit!" - George Carlin

[@LordDustinDeWynd]

6:14 Good thing jetliners have thrust reversers!

[@weeardguy]

I have no idea if they can be deployed at any moment as the forces exerted during overspeed are (of course) much bigger than in normal use. Though I expect them to be able to take quite a bit of extra torque on the actuators, I expect such an event to result in critical failure of a few parts (I do hope that critical failure of a few parts is preferred over losing a complete aircraft though)

[@Mo_Taser]

Actually, those are not near misses. They're near collisions. If they nearly missed, that would by definition mean they collided.

[@DmdMixZ]

Since you're trying to argue "by definition", here's the definition of a "near miss" from Wikipedia. You're welcome. "A near miss [...] is an unplanned event that has the potential to cause, but does not actually result in human injury, environmental or equipment damage, or an interruption to normal operation."

[@Mo_Taser]

@@DmdMixZ Just because "near miss" is engrained in the English vernacular and has been for decades, does not make it an accurate descriptor. It is still a misnomer. A near miss still implies a hit or a partial hit. Indeed, much has been written about the history of the term, some of which states that yes it is inaccurate, but it has become acceptable due to its repetition over decades. I can live with that. "I could care less" is another example. It's now commonly accepted that "I could care less" means one cares not at all, when in fact it means that one does care. One should actually be saying, "I couldn't care less." These examples come about mainly through the misunderstanding of language which are then repeated. Some catch on, some do not. I actually saw someone say to another, "Get off your pedal stool." Fortunately, that has never caught on. So, relax. You're champing a little too hard at the bit in an effort to prove your linguistic point. And of course, you are also welcome.

[@DmdMixZ]

​@@Mo_Taser "So, relax. You're champing a little too hard at the bit in an effort to prove your linguistic point. And of course, you are also welcome." - Pretty bold finish for someone who wrote an essay while still being wrong. If you bring up whats written about the history you should also know that it is not inaccurate at all and also doesn't imply a hit or a partial hit. You seem to confuse "near" with "nearly" or at least interpret it as this is what it means, when in fact it does not. "Near miss" means that something missed, but was still close to the target, not that something "Nearly missed". It originated in the military where it was used mainly to give feedback on airstrikes and artillery strikes and gives information about the impact location relative to the target location. So yes, you might argue that it's often used incorrectly and out of it's original context, which would make it inaccurate. And yeah, if you want to die on that hill, you'd be right, because for it to be accurate the intention would have to be to hit something. The term itself is not a misnomer tho, which is why it is still frequently used in military and aviation context.

[@Mo_Taser]

@@DmdMixZ You just wasted a lot of effort telling me shit I already know, and I wasted time reading what I already know. Rather than burdening us both again, why don't you just run along.

[@DmdMixZ]

Wondering how you could still be so far off if you already knew "the shit". But yeah, I'll run along now, you have yourself a nice day.@@Mo_Taser
