It's not spinning though? Eh, whatever. I'm no pilot so if that's a flat spin then that's a flat spin.

There's really no other way for a plane to come straight down with that velocity, since it's literally falling out of the sky.

What do you even do as a pilot to pull out of one of those? Just try to get the nose down? Seems like something that would be super hard to do if you're flying low.

That's pretty much the only choice, but even then it's a crapshoot. The reason flat spins are so dangerous is that there's no airflow going over the control surfaces (planes aren't meant to travel belly-first), so most attempts to yank on the controls simply won't do anything. There is some air going across the center of the fuselage, but it's not necessarily enough to force the elevators in the tail to tilt the plane downward. Some have said that the best recourse is to jam the throttle to full as you pitch down, hoping that the airflow from a spinning propeller (note: cannot be performed in a jet) will be enough to let you tilt down. It's mostly down to luck. You want the spin to be unstable, so the plane will naturally tilt down enough to get some airflow over the control surfaces and let you pull out of it. If you don't have that luck, either jump out or make peace.

Some planes are certified for spin training and it's pretty fun, but nothing like in that video.

If you're flying low, you're dead. Otherwise, you do exactly what the guy in the above video did... dive and try to pull out into a glide and the smoothest crash landing you can manage.

Depending on the plane you might not even be able to do that. Old WW1/2 planes had to have anti-spin ballast and parachutes that could be ejected to stop a spin. It looks like what happened, though, was that they went into a spin shortly after takeoff, so they wouldn't have the velocity or height to pull out of it. Small mercy that they landed on an empty car.

But maybe it was falling straight down and flat and just started twisting a dozen or so feet from the ground? Also interesting that the parachute deployment rocket fires right at the point of impact, but the chute doesn't deploy. Kurieg posted:It looks like what happened, though, was that they went into a spin shortly after takeoff, so they wouldn't have the velocity or height to pull out of it. They were on approach, not takeoff: https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=188000 "A security camera video image showed that it was spinning to the left and was about 45 degrees nose down in a wings level attitude when it impacted an unoccupied automobile in a hardware store parking lot about one-half mile north of runway 35."

Since the truth behind the gif is rather morbid, I'm telling myself that the vehicle owner didn't have comprehensive coverage and now has to deal with the pilot's estate to try to fix their car. Ace hardware schadenfreude, folks. Edit - does a drat plane count as a falling object?

I was just reminded of this. Want to know the most important part of autobrake features? Making sure they're turned on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6ZwS9izm4E There's another Volvo video where a Volvo rep is so confident he stands in front of the car... and gets hit. It's a bit violent though, and I'm sure he broke some bones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYY7OfQ4-5A Mercedes had the same thing happen at an early demo. The car clip starts at 30s if you hate Top Gear for some reason.

I have conflicted feelings about this video. I'm not a violent person nor do I condone violence. However I think that if he took the microphone cord and strangled the guy with the money to death after the "$1000 to kick it up" statement, that he would probably be acquitted by a jury of his peers.

But maybe it was falling straight down and flat and just started twisting a dozen or so feet from the ground? It's kind of a sad story. The pilot had tried to land 3 times, and kept getting waved off by ATC to let commercial jets land, and after the last failed approach the controller had her turn downwind for another base, and the wind speed was about 15 knots and she was climbing out at only about 10 knots over stall speed, so when she turned downwind the aircraft was below stall speed and spun (this is the theory, the full report is not out yet as this was fairly recent). If the ATC had just had one of the commercial planes go around since she was first in line, it wouldn't have happened. Hindsight is 20/20 of course, and I'm sure at the time they were doing the best that they could do. Here is the entire ATC audio, and you can hear how many different instructions they kept giving her, and by the end she was struggling to get properly lined up, and was probably just overwhelmed and made the turn without considering the wind and... welp. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEVLqRIqd84
