This Channel is a little out of date. Over the years I have done videography as a hobby and have recently became a business and during this process I have collected 4 separate RU-vid Channels. So now I am trying to clean up my accounts by creating a website and “official RU-vid page”. If you are interested in seeing more of my work, here is a link to my website (still in development) and youtube page.
Website: littlebluepro.com New "Official" RU-vid: ru-vid.com Other RU-vid: ru-vid.com
Thanks, and sorry for any inconvenience!
P.S. If you would like to contact me to get rights to use any of my videos (including the plane crash) please contact me through the information on my website, or my company email as I check these on a regular basis. (I typically don't see RU-vid Messages until months later.)
There's an old Navy saying, "Constant bearing, decreasing range" to indicate an imminent collision. That camera guy either didn't know that or had balls of steel and didn't care.
Know who the pilot is. I’m told this is the third and most expensive, most capable seaplane they have wrecked. Heard the family will not fly with them anymore. I believe the aircraft was rebuilt.
Compare the engine note of the takeoff of a Beaver in the video titled '[HD] Beautiful Dehavilland DHC-2-MK.1 Beaver On Floats Takeoff CSU3', compared to this one. This pilot clearly wasn't at max throttle for this takeoff judging by the huge different in sound.
The aircraft was not nose to wind from start, as you can see it crabbing to port. If the pilot had shut the engine when the starboard float lifted, they would have stopped in time.
Just shows you how quick stuff happens, and you need to be able to make the right decision as soon as it needs to be made. Bet he wished he pulled power and tried another takeoff after that!
A rare case of terrible piloting where absolutely everything he did was wrong. How can someone with such bad skills ever have gotten a seaplane rating? It is painful to watch as in early takeoff run it was obvious he cannot fly floatplanes and missed a hundred chances to abort that obviously failing takeoff.
Maybe just the camera perspective, but it doesn't look like the aircraft was ever lined up with the water runway. He appears to be angling left trrough out the take off.
These small planes seems so incredible underpowerd. Just getting them airborne seem to be almost impossible and also climbing during flight does way to often seem to end whit a stall and then crash.
The beaver is certainly not underpowered. It's one of the most successful stol bush planes ever built. Some were used here in Australia for crop dusting operations carrying payloads of up to 1 ton of fertiliser using rough and sometimes short bush airstrips.
The pilot wasn't giving anywhere near enough throttle for a water takeoff. I grew up hearing beavers take off from the harbor, they were always nearly at full throttle until they got in the air. You've probably heard a Beaver punch the throttle for a takeoff before. If I was you I would have ran out of the way
Cant believe how often people wad planes up. People with common sense, and the feel for how machinery needs to be operated cant afford planes. Book smart people with no common sense can afford planes, and this is what ya get.😅😂😅😂
