Your Awesome!!! Keep it up👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@stevew585]

Hi Tucker, I know you're a very good and experienced pilot, but what confuses me is this. You say you should always have a safe landing site, say in an emergency, but what about when you fly over Canyons, the Hoover Dam, and Volcanos and all those other places experienced fliers fly? There are no nice flat feilds in case of an engine out! What would you do?? Surely this is not safe? Please enlighten me because i dont get it? Thanks

[@abambacare3.087]

You should do another icarus race

[@memeteam6145]

Would you ever give a tandom flight to a south african? KEEP IT UP!!! 😋

[@bobbyh.3911]

Tucker, I think back to when you were having hard pull starts during the Icarus race. The first time I watched that series, I cringed every time you had to do that. Ground starting should never be done and I am sure you would never advocate doing so. But do you think there is a difference, between being forced to start your motor off your back and routinely doing it because it is easier? I think it forces a more serious risk assessment when you are forced to start off your back as opposed to merely being a bad habit or because of neglected maintenance.

there is two places with any prop driven aircraft you don't want to be at: in front of the prop in its path. the most dangerous. airplanes can move suddenly and without warning. especially the old tail draggers that don't have brakes in line with the prop disk itself. those blades are under crazy amounts of stress when rotating so if it decides to throw a blade you are screwed. ground start guy was at both places. even though its a pusher setup its still a dangerous place to be

It is amazing how invisible power lines are in low light situations and impaired visibility situations (like flying into low sun angles). Those two seem to come together at sunrise and sunset. Are you having trouble seeing? Nah I'm good. My opinion, situational awareness also involves knowledge of the situation beforehand. Like the example of fly high first (get to know before you fly low). **T-shirt! "DoodMan, Get to know before you fly low."

[@thephantom1492]

A note about the ground start... You have no mean to control where the motor/propeller will go. You can always try to hold to it and push it away, but it have a mind of it's own. There is an high chance that the propeller catch something and goes flying into deadly pieces, that will fly at you. When you have it strapped in your back, about the worse is that you will fall forward. Since it is strapped it won't move so you keep a proper separation, and the cage help to prevent you from getting into contact with the propellers. In the event that it do indeed explode, it will go flying away from you so you will not get a direct hit. You may get ricochet or parts falling back on you, but that have nowhere the same impact power than a direct hit! In the event of a cage failure, your arms or legs may get into contact, but not your neck. You can survive to have your arm or leg literally cut if you get some quick help. Your jugular? You will be lucky to survive if there is a doctor right beside you when it happen.

[@timcookermann1607]

Wow! New crash reaction video. Amazing quarantine content.

[@fwartl.]

[@docdurdin]

Once again, a great educational tool from someone who understands the dynamics of flight and how fast it can go wrong. I keep wondering if some of these folks ever went to basic ground school where they learn about wing dynamics and the ever-dreaded STALL. Even if you don't have a cabin around you, you are flying a plane with a wing. There is a minimum speed as well as the angle of attack that gives a wing proper attitude to lift. Without it, you are basically falling. That would be a good video Tucker, as you are more familiar with minimums to get a butt and motor up as opposed to an airframe.

Excellent commentary Tucker, one additional observation on the first incident; The guy's fuel tank was knocked off by the impact and this could have led to a fire. I highly recommend that pilots keep a fire extinguisher in their vehicle and make it accessible during flight operations. Pilots who own trucks would be wise to keep one mounted just inside the tail gate for easy reach.

[@jesselowe5346]

Jeeeesus, that last one is rough. I broke my hip when I ate it going about 45mph on my longboard, wouldn't wish it on anybody

[@ricbarker4829]

That final clip, when I saw him flying low over that industrial area, I thought about the "Swiss Cheese Model" as applied to aviation safety. See here if you are interested - www.flightsafetyaustralia.com/2016/09/safety-in-mind-swiss-cheese-and-bowties/ For an accident or incident to occur, there is usually two or more actions or omission of an action that causes it. In aviation, there are many regulations, practices and training (slices of cheese) that if followed should prevent an accident. The holes in the cheese are when these preventative measures are not adhered to or when something beyond the control of the pilot happens, such as an engine failure. When an omission (failure to carry out proper procedures) or equipment failure occurs on it's own, it is usually no big deal, but when two or three happen together...well this is when the holes line up in the Swiss cheese and you have an accident. The first hole in the Swiss cheese for the crash in question was not flying at an altitude that would allow him to glide to a safe landing area should he have an engine failure. All that was needed for the second hole in the Swiss cheese to line up was an engine failure.......with a two stroke engine the second layer of cheese had some big holes in it. Sorry for the long comment, but if you have never come across the theory you may find it interesting.

[@daviddootson9016]

Thanks for your video ,was really intersting and highlighted several things

[@sophtware]

Here's my 2-cents on ground starting (clip 3) vs. on the back vs. on the rack. The problem isn't the method, but the "pre-flight". That is the LACK of a preflight. If you just walk up to your motor and start it, you're asking for trouble. If you assume you'll be ok by starting the motor on a rack or your back, you're still in trouble. I know this for a fact, since I was struck my by prop when starting my motor on a rack. When you use the mantra of on the back or on the rack, you just invite skipping a proper "pre-flight". Do that a few times, get away with it, and guess what, it becomes habit! Now you're really in trouble. I ALWAYS start my motor on the ground, but I NEVER start it without a proper preflight -- TWICE! Also, my throttle doesn't depend on the carb spring to return the butterfly to it's idle position. I know the throttle in this video (I have one laying around), and it doesn't have a return spring. Flying is about minimizing risk. Take away a preflight, more risk. Use a throttle without a return spring, more risk. Like always, fly safe, fly smart, and ALWAYS preflight at least twice before you fly! Love the video series. Keep up the good work!

[@Rodzilla5332]

I can tell you exactly what happened on the ground start guy and I’m not a pilot at all, I’m a gun guy. This is why you always keep your finger off the trigger especially when you are gripping something with your off hand. It’s called a sympathetic squeeze. When you squeeze with one hand especially under stress you tend to squeeze with the other. I’ve seen negligent discharges from sympathetic squeezes. When he cranked his motor and it started to tip towards him he grabbed the cowling or whatever you call it and also grabbed the throttle at the same time sympathetically.

[@michaelkennedy2528]

That ground start video could be another version of that Chopped TV show.
