Great announcement: seeing things like this happen at your local airport(s) stings quite a bit and reaffirms or puts the decisions you've made in the past into perspective of what can/could have happened. Thanks Russ! Stay safe!

I agree with everything in this comment! I think that’s the thing that got my attention to most, that it happened at home! And you were absolutely correct on another score, I’m sure that there’s things that I’ve probably done that could’ve resulted in the same way. Thank you so much!

Thank you! I’m definitely glad everything turned out well too! Take care!

Glad you're ok! It's terrible when it happens anywhere, but it definitely really hits home when it's at your home airport or an airport you fly out of regularly.

@RusscanFLY Ай бұрын

Yeah, when I got a text message, I saw the news report, it was definitely eerie. I even knew all about that abandon airplane, because I’ve actually walked out to it to look at it, especially since I saw the birds flying in and out of the various access points. Definitely crazy.

@Javon_J Ай бұрын

I thought of you as soon as I heard of this. I am glad that you and Charlie are okay. Prayers up to those affected. I am planning to fly this Friday, but the winds are not looking favorable. Forecast winds up to 25 kts from the S to SW, it would set up close to a direct crosswind. I'm always checking weather forecasts way in advance.

@RusscanFLY Ай бұрын

Yeah, the weather supposed to look real crazy this weekend. The winds are supposed to be kicking up, and it’s supposed to be much cooler as well. Definitely gonna be challenging for sure. If you do fly, please be careful!

Yeah, it was so crazy! I got a text message from one of my friends that heard that there was a crash at Doylestown. I immediately started flipping around to see if I can find out more information and saw the news report. So crazy!

Yeah, they do a fantastic job with accident recreation. Definitely not my space, but definitely had to at least report out on this, just in case anybody was worried it was me. I had a few folks reach out and asked if I was OK before I even knew what it happened. Anyway take care!

Hey Russ, We really enjoy your videos! Sad to hear about the incident. Another reminder to all of us to be more careful and that this could happen to any of us.

@RusscanFLY Ай бұрын

Thank you so much! And you definitely speak truth! That’s something that can definitely happen to any of us, and that’s why it’s important to be so careful and make sure we are making good aeronautical decisions. Take care, and thank you for the support!

Thanks for checking in. I know how scary this can be; that was me last August 8th when I lost Millie. Not wind related; engine failure, but it can be pretty scary.

@RusscanFLY Ай бұрын

It’s absolutely terrifying, brother Marty! Here’s the thing, I really did think about playing hooky from work, and going up to the airport. I don’t know what it was like for you yesterday, but it was unseasonably warm, and amazing. The only thing was, the upper atmosphere was highly disturbed, because The Cole Canadian air was still around clashing with this warm air. So I think people got suckered into flying yesterday because it was seemingly a nice day.

@TheGospelQuartetParadise Ай бұрын

Hey there, Russ. Glad you are ok. I had just emailed the news report of this to Juan Browne at blancolirio. I would expect VASAviation will have a report too. Glad you recognized the challenge of those wind gusts and stayed on the ground.

@RusscanFLY Ай бұрын

Yeah, I saw people flying around and was thinking to myself, these folks are nuts! Doylestown can be particularly tricky, because the winds do different things at different portions of the runway. Especially when you’re coming in on runway 23. Take care, and God bless!

Yeah, I hear you, because I do the same thing! I realize when people heard Doylestown, they may be thinking if I’m OK. It’s such a beautiful thing to have people looking out for me, so much love and it’s greatly appreciated. Anyway, you stay safe as well, and thanks for looking out for a brother!

If there is any take away from this, it’s that we need to be proficient at go arounds. An FAA safety rep came to the airport recently and said that most accidents that we had locally recently, are all related to failed go arounds.

@RusscanFLY Ай бұрын

I completely agree with that. I try to do at least one or two go rounds every 20 to 30 hours, just to keep my procedure sharp.

Hey Russ just did my first intro flight over the weekend. Absolutely loved it, buttttt I ended up getting nausea and threw up.. Do you eventually get over being motion sickness during training??? it was only when we did the 45 degree bank turns and kill the engine and nose decent is what got me.

@RusscanFLY Ай бұрын

Good news! What you experienced is completely normal. I can remember almost puking on my first discovery flight as well. The short answer is yes, eventually you get used to it. It will take your ear sometime to catch up to all of the different motion that you experience. if you’re not a person is usually affected by motion, sickness, then you will get past this pretty quickly. So don’t worry, your first experience is not unusual at all. I would say in the next couple flights, you’ll just fine!

@jimmydulin928 Ай бұрын

Your footwork is good, Russ, but gust spread crosswind will drop a wing. We automobile drivers have serious muscle memory to use the steering wheel to bring that wing back up. That down aileron, when we are slow, drags that wing back more than up. Opposite rudder to the stop is often necessary to correct this condition and control error. Good tail waggers (rudder only for proper yaw control of longitudinal alignment (centerline between legs) are already moving correctly and hardly notice the gust attempt to drop the wing. If we do not allow the nose (between our legs) to move off target, the wing cannot go down much in the gust.

@RusscanFLY Ай бұрын

Aw, fantastic points brother Jimmy! And great instruction for all those who watch the video and see your comment. I’ve experienced what you have written in your comment too many times to know that I do not like any Gus factor above 11 KNOTS!. Thank you so much for your continued wise counsel sir!

@geoffreyo7139 Ай бұрын

Glad it wasn’t you Russ! Hope all is well and for a speedy recovery for those folks. Do you mind me asking what are your personal minimums?

@RusscanFLY Ай бұрын

Yeah, thank you for that! I definitely hope they are all well too. I have personal minimum like I really don’t want to fly unless I have at least 5 miles of visibility, and I won’t takeoff our land with more than and 11 knotCrosswind. And lastly, the clouds above the airport have to be at least 4000 feet.

@adjuaadama6623 Ай бұрын

Always use these opportunities to learn and review - even if we don't quite know what caused the actual crash just yet. As you said, crosswind limitations and personal minimums are good conversation starters. I would also address the need to practice go-arounds regularly (often neglected by people outside of the regular training environment), and setting clear criteria for when they should be conducted, as many approach and landing accidents often result from people making the decision to go around too late, and/or they also perform it incorrectly. For example, on final approach I always verbalize and check for: "on speed, centerline, glidepath, fully configured" no later than 300 feet AGL in light aircraft, looking to achieve all of those elements of a stabilized approach prior to commitment. If they aren't, I initiate the go-around from that height. If I'm out of the touchdown zone, I also initiate the go-around - just like the rules for Part 121 airlines. But I learned early in my training the need to assess those things dynamically while attempting to land, as my CFI and I at the time witnessed a crash at Bay Bridge airport (April, 2008) while sitting on the taxiway getting ready to launch for traffic pattern practice. A guy came into the pattern in a Warrior, too fast and high, kept diving into the area like a WWII dive bomber on a straight-in approach, and thus kept floating well beyond the ideal touchdown zone - all the more dangerous for that airport given its shorter length and the fact that RW29 ends on the shore of the Chesapeake Bay. He did perform a go-around the first time he tried, came back around while we watched and tried again, but did exactly the same thing, finally touched down about 2/3 down the runway, porpoised, and then ended up going over the hill into the bulkheads just at the lip of the Bay. My instructor radioed to him and asked if he was OK, and he replied, "not really." And that triggered a shutdown of the airport. We shut down and went over to assist him, other pilots and maintenance personnel ran down to assist, the paramedics raced in, the police, and soon the news helicopters arrived and hovered over us. And it had been the ideal perfect weather day, with almost no wind. I thought I was going to get at least 10 takeoffs and landings that day and wound up with two since our school was based at BWI and we had to sit on the ground for about two hours before they could open the airport again so we could return to Baltimore. The pilot was taken to the hospital but was OK, and even though my planned lesson ended abruptly, I certainly learned quite a bit that day otherwise.

@RusscanFLY Ай бұрын

Wow, that’s one heckuva story! I’m sure that that is something that has stayed with you, and is a constant reminder of proper procedure. I agree with you about the go-round issue. I do try to do one at least every 20 hours, just to keep my procedures sharp. I’ve never actually witnessed a plane go down, but I will say that this one being so close to home, was definitely sobering. Also, I know the airplane that the pilot was flying. It is a very robust Beachcraft bonanza. What’s clear to me, I don’t think it was able to handle those crosswind, but it could’ve been other issues for sure. At any rate, thank you so much for sharing this story. It’s just another reminder that we have to take safety seriously, and we always have to stay on top of our training and procedures. Take care, and thank you for taking the time to provide this very noteworthy information.

@ccflyer737 Ай бұрын

As pilots we need to refrain from Monday morning quarterbacking incidents like this without all the information.

@RusscanFLY Ай бұрын

True. And hopefully you didn’t get that from me in this video. It was really just to let folks know who were reaching out to me that I was OK. Also, since this happened at my home airport, I wanted to say that I knew the conditions That day, and question whether or not it was wise to fly. But I don’t agree with your position at all. I will see that there some people who do it, and it makes sense to digest the accident, so that we can become better pilots.

Direct crosswind on take off? Turn the aierons 90 degrees into the wind...add full power, gradually rotate the yoke to the neutral position, keep the wing down...I don't think the pilot did that!

@RusscanFLY Ай бұрын

Yeah, that’s definitely the properly procedure. It’s hard to know what exactly happened, but I will say that I think they were definitely surprised by the stiffness of the crosswind. Looking at Flight that day the crosswind Gus were up to 25 knots! There are very few general aviation aircraft that can handle that crosswind.

Glad it was an abandoned aircraft. It must be terrible to receive the news that your parked, tied down plane got into an accident.

No doubt about it! I was worried about my friends, Mooney, because it’s tiedown out there as well. When I saw it was the abandoned airplane, I was somewhat relieved!
