Very cool video! Love flying behind a ranger!
A work colleague of mine suffered an engine fire during flight, and did not survive. These catastrophes really happen. Read the NTSB report: app.ntsb.gov/pdfgenerator/ReportGeneratorFile.ashx?EventID=20001207X02907&AKey=1&RType=HTML&IType=FA
Of all the so called 'flying cars' I've seen, this is the only one that comes close, and it really flies
2:30 leave the wing root vents open if you prefer, but definitely close the firewall air vent. For an engine fire that vent isn’t feeding the fire, it’s preventing the fire from visiting YOU.
It's possible to have a two engine plane on floats. I want one on a Cessna 310
The outstanding attention to detail and incredible engineering begs the question, why isn't the prop to scale? It looks ridiculous. Three blades, 6 inches longer, increase prop speed reduction 25%, presto! Yes you will sacrifice some cruise speed, but you'll gain take off performance, and won't have a silly looking propeller.
Amazing video !! Just ,, Wow , the love , the care , the enjoyment !! True northern people ,, miss my N. Ontario home sometimes ,,, from Vanc Island
100kts? I'm taught 70kts which buys you time to make the correct landing decision. Height is your friend
Wvil people get punished like this. Chance to repent
This was dumb and poorly done. What about slipping to keep the smoke/flames away from the cockpit. What about diving to snuff out any flames??
At 00:34 Chris simulates an emergency descent which is used to try to put out the flames
While beautiful aircraft, I have to wonder why our AOPA dues go to pay for the production of this type of video. It can't be cheap to make.
Because it is educational to true Aviation enthusiast. I have personally rode in this Gorgeous airplane and I can assure you, normal, modern G.A. nose roller pilots would have a Blast in these birds. Many of todays G.A. pilots have no idea these Great airplanes even existed. As for the cost of these videos, I hope AOPA will continue to use part of my dues to make these type of videos. BTW...if you are ever around Athens, Tn. stop in at MMI and go through the swift museum. I think you will be pleasantly surprised!
out of the park well done
It’s all about the typical mission. Great airplane.
Thanks for this! My first flight in a light airplane was in a Globe Swift. Got me hooked on aviation!
Wish they still made 'em like this.
Steep spiral?
thank you for info
Paul!
BEAUTIFUL
Apart from taking off and landing in very short lengths…what’s the point of these aircraft?
Around 86% of Alaska's communities CANNOT be reached by the road system. These aircraft work in the backcountry region of Alaska, performing vital air transportation services to the off-grid and off-the-road system communities, year round. This also means unimproved air strips and sometimes VERY short pieces of land, obscured by surrounding trees and terrain. Aviation is an essential part of living in Alaska, where everyday life depends on air transportation. Alaska Pilots operate these aircraft to move people, life sustaining/essential cargo and fuel all over Alaska.
One of many advantages of jet engines over nose props
what, they don't put turbines on the nose?
@@ltlwalt yes but that's not a jet. turboprop is worst of both worlds and should not exist. jet price, single engine vulnerability and colonial ugliness and noise
Great video about a great business idea! At the same time this must be the dream job for many pilots. The company seems to respect their pilots, they are flying in dream locations with breathtaking views on the nature... A Win Win situation for all involved! Thanks!
It's so good to see that these great Gazelle helicopters are used after their retiremet from the military and will have a civilan career! They are so capable and maneubverable that it's almost unbelievable. Great Video! Thanks fom a heli freak!
Nice 👍
That's pretty good, but you got to put the flaps down and I would do that before I would do anything else cuz you have to get down now as quick as possible
Depends where you’re at during the descent. If you still haven’t found your landing area, you don’t want to deploy flaps just yet. The moment you do, you start to lose airspeed, negating your best glide speed. You typically want to deploy flaps as you get closer to your landing area.
@@crazypilot4017 You were absolutely wrong my friend. You want to put as much drag on that airplane as soon as possible because you want to get down as soon as possible. It's a known fact in aircraft fires the most important thing is to get down as soon as possible end of story. I don't care if you crash land into a fireworks stand the most important thing is to get down ASAP. Who cares if you're wreck the airplane in your landing, that's not the issue The issue is to get the wind (oxygen) off the air frame ASAP.
You would never ever drop the flaps prematurely. Additionally what he says about 100 kn is also incorrect. Your first step is to set the 172 upward best glide flap up. Then you find a landing spot, once you have a landing spot secured and it's within reach, then you start with the flaps and slowing up. You never want to slow down the airplane until after you have found a spot to land. But 100 knot gliding speed in a 172 is way too fast. You'll waste all your altitude that way! Altitude is the INE thing that WILL save your lufe! NEVER give it up freely. You should be looking for 70 knots, your best glide speed in a 172. Once field is picked out, and you've got it made distance wise, drop your flaps and get it set up to land a normal soft field landing.
@@jmflyer55 I think you forgot something, "You're on fire" meaning you have to get down as soon as possible and that means dropping your flaps and shoving the stick forward. Yes kill the mixture, turn off electric power, shut off the fuel. But you have to get the airplane on the ground ASAP and that requires drag. The most effective drag inducing device is your flaps. And you want to slow down ASAP because the slower you go the less oxygen is going to the fire, what don't you understand about this It's basic airmanship
@@christophergagliano2051 You have it backwards. Yes you need to get down ASAP, but also want to put out the fire at the same time, which requires “emergency descent” to aid in putting out the fire. If you go slow you’re allowing the fire to burn more, vs the faster your decent you’re typically “smothering” the fire out. We actually train to do this in flight school by performing “emergency descents” by descending at a certain speed to aid in putting out the fire, while looking for a place to land, in conjunction with the steps he listed in the video.
It was so nice to see the joy of the pilot Murray flying this "Ferrari of helicopters" after such a long break!! Great how fast he built up confidence and feel for this machine! It's my favorite helicopter for sure together with the BO 105! I am flying only RC helis but I am absolutely crazy for helicopters in general.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!

The AOPA needs to be abolished. The members pay dues so they can be protected by attorneys and politicians because some of their airplanes are NOT airworthy.
That appears to be a standard landing for a Cirrus.
