That looked like a cub and those have damn near vertical takeoff and landing also if you overshoot you have plenty room to gain airspeed and climbing out
@@adamf6582this is a special "bush plane"... it has extremely high lift wings, flaps and slats, good breaks and wheels, plus the props are reversible, and to top it all off I believe this is the same guy that has been competing in short take iff and landing competitions almost as long as he's had a pilots license...
@@kugelblitz1557well, that is completely irrelevant. He never said he could, and his skills were not questioned. That being said, this wasn't luck. They practice this. There are even STOL competitions. It's also a matter of planning for the right day and conditions, with good amd steady headwind. Also, the plane has strong brakes. Missing short would have been a disaster. Missing long was ok.
@@PhillyAvGeek It’s a Carbon Cub with a minimum takeoff distance of 27m and minimum landing distance of 47m. The helipad was 27m so yes it’s barely designed to take off in that distance but it’s not designed to land within that distance.
@@Finkleberg402 you've got the stupidest comment out of all the comments that exist here. Oh wait, so far. Just incase you were thinking, I was already reading comments from the damn future, that are made after I made this statement. 🤦♂️ What do you think Guinness Book of World Records, should end every record with the words, So Far? Only an absolute moron, would think they are talking about future world records that haven't been attempted yet(sorry, as of yet). Do you tell people that your 12 years old, So Far? Guess what!?! Here's another usless thing to say, I've breathed oxygen all my life, so far.🤯
Not so fun fact: this particular pilot (I personally won’t mention his name) has a rare condition and was born with three testicles, which typically result in a noticeable lower pitch in one’s voice, yet not necessarily in normal speech patterns, but can intentionally be activated NP. Testicles are responsible for testosterone, so maybe there is biological science and unintentional truth behind this attempt (nailed it) and your comment (although a obviously not steel, u might truly be into something ab his “balls”; nohomo of course)🤔? Makes sense; no?

Dubai........the building that stole my heart decades ago,and still dose !❤ Glad to see from my country they really land on top.This man is a master at his landing.👍
This guy has to immediately start training Fighter jets' pilots, cause he truly has unique habilites for taking off and landing 🛬 on an almost not existing Airstrip 😁👏👏👌👌
Everything was executed to perfection. Wind direction and speed accounted for, the flaps, the touchdown spot, the brakes and then the final butthole clench brought the plane to a complete stop just on the edge of the abyss
@@vivaldiKSG i'm saying - no regular cub can land there. - Also i know a bunch of bush pilots who can land this plane there. I could honestly land it myself. My point is : the achievement is not only the pilot (he is good Indeed) but also and mainly the very special build by a very special builder. And nothing is said about him. People keep talking only about the pilot. Remember : mechanics are pilots true Heroes. Mike Patey is - a mechanic, - an engineer - and a pilot. He could have landed the plane himself. He is the true hero of this story.
You realize this isn't Scrappy, right. Piper cubs can do this stuff all day. All the better that an experienced bush pilot was flying this day. If he hadn't stuck the landing he could have just hit the gas and would be airborne in .25/second. I know it looks impressive to most but very doable. He landed on a round spot so he could put is nose directly in the wind hence no cross wind. Trust me the hotel would not have authorized this move if there were more than an inkling of a possibility of failure.
As a fellow tailwheel pilot, this is an incredible spot-landing. Obviously, there is a strong and steady breeze. But that helipad would have strong turbulence past it. Staying above it and not dropping too low is imperative. Not having a normal landing picture due to the ground being so far away was probably pretty trippy. And the takeoff might have been the craziest thing.
@@dron.s.4466 похрду это тебе смысл моих слов бы не понятен.. смотри, ты ведь не считаешь каким то высшим пилотажем то, что ты смог написать свои 4 слова? так вот и посадка ТАКОГО самолета на ТАКУЮ площадку не есть что то из ряда вон выходящее, эти самолеты предназначены для взлета и посадки с таких площадок, и могут осуществить это с площадками меньшего размера, не соврать бы, но им примерно пары метров может быть достаточно
In WW2, it was Canadian bush pilots, called pathfinders, who flew 200 feet over German cities precisely dropping coloured flares for the heavy bomber to aim at. They had the best flying skills at the beginning of the war.
Bush planes are so much fun to fly and are quite common over here in Aus. What you can do in a bush plane compared to any other places aeroplanes in terms of landing and take off is amazing, but this dude is next level yo! I’m talking water landings to slow your landings and thick bush, not building tops haha Huge respect from a guy who flys for necessity in rural Australia 👊🏽
That beeping is the stall-earning alarm. It doesn't necessarily mean you're going to stall; it just means your angle of attack is very close to stalling. Which is the only way to land on that helipad: slowly as possible. Taking off: much easier. Just nose it over and pick up airspeed, then level off. Heck, I could take off from there. If someone else would land it for me first.
This reminds of of time in wild wadi park below it and in front of that wavy building (jumairah hotel). Best time as a 17 year old! That was some 20 years ago😊. Memories!
This man has a heart of a soldier, warrior. The probability of failing is much greater than success, yet he went through with it. The decision to undertake such a risk is a greater accomplishment than the successful landing of the aircraft.
If he fall that will be a failure, but not a big problem. There are enough space to free fall and recuperate, in a normal maneuver that any pilot must train.
Bush planes aren't fast, but light weight and manuverable. They can fly slower than any plan and almost hover like a helicopter flying in head wind. They are designed to land on rough and very short landing strips. This guy has skill!
@@shawnshurtz9147 you literally just agreed with what he said but disagreed with wording.. what you think a competition is something that everyone wins and there's no first place?
@Kyle Bachman ok what I meant to say is he literally landed and took off in twice the distance that the best STAL piolits in the world normally do. World record is 6 feet.
No. - This plane heavy mods are Mike Patey's job. Without him, no success. - Any seasonned bush pilot can lando this plane. - No pole dancer in the World Aerobatics Championship in the last 20 years. - The best pilots seem to be the French.
I actually landed a Piper Cub in a full-motion simulator at the Medallion Foundation in Anchorage Alaska. I landed on an aircraft carrier like a helicopter would land. Straight down hover. I had to keep power on a little to not roll backwards off the carrier deck. I performed a 0 landing. Zero feet. I literally just floated right down on the deck. Carrier was moving into the wind, obviously. With wind, any landing is possible. Taking off is easy. Full flaps and full throttle lifts a Cub right off the ground into the wind. The simulator was fun. Some, including myself, at times got a little air sick in it. Where's the fun if you don't. I didn't puke. Those who did cleaned up their own mess. Seasoned pilots with hours of experience still get air sickness at times in the right conditions. It's not a sign of weakness. It's just normal. That's flight.
That landing was impeccable utter perfection. If the front wheels would have clipped the edge game over. I would trust this guy to fly me to the moon and back
My dad had a plane like that once and damned if I can remember the name of that model, but he could practically float the thing down and land in 15-20 feet.. Best I remember it had something to do with the width of size of the tail fins or something like that..pretty cool to see the red bull team land it on a heli pad💪👍
