That Cub approach was wild 😮

[@Chris_at_Home]

I used to have a 7ECA Champ. With no flaps slips were pretty much standard to loose altitude fast.

[@eddiehimself]

@1:31, hearing "don't sink" from an instructor is way less scary than hearing it from the GPWS lol.

[@frotoe9289]

Challenger pilot seemed a little defensive. Didn't much seem to like being offered advice, being told he was low, being told to watch his bank angle. But I'm thinking exactly the same things to myself as I'm watching the vid. Like, "woa... you're not flying a C152" as he lets the wing drop. "red over red, pilot is dead" as we see the VASI.

[@dorkbear]

Excuse me while I extract this seat cushion from my posterior.

[@AndyPat239]

it actually looked worse then it was IMHO, the plane was being rocked by gusts and/or turbulence; the pilot rode it out with good speed and lined it up, once down close to the runway it looked like the gusts were minimal and s/he was able to land uneventfully.

[@joeyjamison5772]

@@AndyPat239 The Aspen Airport is rated as one of the most dangerous in the entire country.

[@AndyPat239]

@@joeyjamison5772 yes i can see the approach can be tricky but depending upon the wind direction and speed the landing should be ok. in winter it would be whole different ball game and I wouldn't want to fly there!

The forward slip is so fun. Turning the plane sideways to the direction of flight with the nose down and having plenty of control.

Wonder how close they were to V1 before RTO

[@coasternut3091]

Couldn't have been too far

[@casperthegm741]

Hard to say for sure but I'd guess it was really close. Must have had some super hot brakes by the time they stopped at the end of the runway.

[@44R0Ndin]

@@casperthegm741 I saw the thrust reversers deploy. If they used full reverse thrust, they wouldn't have needed to ask for much performance out of the brakes, even if the aircraft was at MTOW. Additionally, the thrust reversers are not factored into the runway length and V1 speed calculations done by the FMS computer in the aircraft. This is because the thrust reversers can either fail to work, be forgotten, or even deploy asymmetrically if the wrong kind of failure happens. So the aircraft will calculate a V1 speed that allows it to stop by the end of the runway even if there is no use of the thrust reversers. The way that type certificates are issued for airliners ensures that any airliner will be rated for an RTO at V1 even if the aircraft is loaded to MTOW, without use of the thrust reversers. This is something that they actually have to pass a test for before the aircraft type is granted a type certificate and/or allowed to fly paying passengers. It only has to be rated for a SINGLE stop in this configuration, but it does have to come to a full stop on the runway and sit there for like half an hour (might be a bit less) dealing with the hot brakes, and it's not allowed to have any issues that cause damage to the aircraft beyond what happened during the process of coming to a stop. There's a somewhat infamous video of an A340 undergoing this test where the tires catch fire from the hot brakes, IMO this counts as a failed test and they would have needed to adjust or re-design some things and try again in order to pass that certification test. If the aircraft does this test and the tires deflate, that is NOT a failure condition. This is because the tires on airliners have something called "Fuse Plugs" which are purpose-designed to melt at a certain temperature, and because these plugs are one of the things that hold the air in the tires, when they melt, the tires are rapidly (but safely) deflated. This prevents the tires from bursting and potentially damaging the aircraft. If the tires BURST, that is likely a failure condition, but if the fuse plugs function correctly, the fact that the aircraft might be unable to move after this hot-brakes RTO due to a number of deflated tires is not something that will count towards a failing grade.

And That is How "Slip it In" Gentlemen. If it wasn't clear the Slip allows you to QUICKLY loose a lot a altitude without picking up speed. (or to freaking out your unaware passengers)

[@cadenvickery3382]

Well done,I will acknowledge you since he hasn’t yet

[@KingInTheSoutha]

Honest question, how do pilots know their tire burst?

[@leofrgt]

Vibrations on the rudder pedals and noise from scattered rubber hitting the airframe mainly. A yaw tendency would be felt aswell. It can be tricky and possibly mistaken for an engine malfunction in such fast moving scenario! Hope I gave an idea :)

[@KingInTheSoutha]

@@leofrgt thanks for this, because I have honestly seen drivers who don't notice a blown tire for a long time. So something as big as a plane I would imagine it would be harder to tell, but I think the vibrations on the rudder makes sense because planes are very noisy and bumpy at takeoff, I doubt they would hear the explosion or notice the debris hitting the plane.

[@bigjobbies]

they have tire pressure monitors actually

[@leofrgt]

@KingInTheSoutha indeed, it would depend on the dimension of the plane and the way the tire breaks down. In full flight simulators I had the chance to practice it would feel very similar to an engine surge at first! Maybe you might find interesting that after a certain speed is actually reccomended to continue the takeoff then reject it :)

[@KingInTheSoutha]

@@leofrgt oh yes lol. Petr has spoken at length about how after V1, you only abort the takeoff for engine failure or if the plane is unsafe to fly :)

If you watch the original video of the AA 737 with the rejected takeoff, it took a while for the fire trucks to show up. Apparently the pilots didn’t know that the undercarriage was on fire.

[@bricefleckenstein9666]

You could see one of the tires on that 737 starting to shed the tread (or shred perhaps) before it actually blew. Don't know of the pilots could feel it at that point.

[@44R0Ndin]

@@williamedwards1528 To be fair, when the thing to be responded to is "Fire" and the firefighters and fire trucks are stationed so close to the incident, 4 minutes IS a rather long time.

[@xX_Gravity_Xx]

I don't know that the second pilot or the instructor gave me much confidence. The pilot didn't seem to be listening, and the instructor honestly at that point should have taken control at that point. In trucking, this is analagous to having a student getting ready to go down a mountain in Idaho it Colorado, and telling them that they're in the wrong gear, and going too fast, and having them go "yep yep yep yep yep" and then proceed to barrell down the mountain in the wrong gear, too fast. Just because everything went well this time, doesn't mean it will next time.

[@EleanorPeterson]

The first clip is a good example of how proper training pays off. The pilot(s) could easily have panicked in the 2 seconds (?) available and continued with the takeoff, not solving the problem, just compounding it. The 'V¹, V², TOGA or abort' decision needs to be almost instinctive to be effective, and in this instance it was. A less well-drilled crew might have got fully airborne, potentially doing more harm to their plane, having to land (fully-laden) on an undercarriage with an unknown amount of damage, and leaving the runway in a messy/dangerous state. Now imagine applying the typical car driver's reaction to such a situation. Without the same level of training, rather than stopping immediately they'd have pressed on, thinking, "I can save this... No sweat... It's only a burst tyre... Keep going...", hoping there'd be time to make a better decision later on. There's never a good time to make a better decision. It's the first one you make that matters, and this plane's pilot(s) got things exactly right.

[@pw7040]

[@rtbrtb_dutchy4183]

@@pw7040right. She is wrong indeed.

[@rtbrtb_dutchy4183]

The end result was safe, so I won’t criticize the pilots. But most well trained pilots take off above 80 knots with a blown tire. It’s much safer. You get to land and use the full length of the runway, as well as having a much lighter aircraft. They probably didn’t know it was a blown tire and they thought they had an engine failure at first.
