Thread: What comes up must go down

http://www.hauraki.co.nz/content/491/stuntplane.wmv

I know its titled stunt plane. But the pilot is still a loser, the gear in the back isnt secured, so he is certainly not prepared for normal flight let alone non standard manouvres, I doubt the aircraft is even aerobatic approved, I would say it is a Cessna 172, a non aero rated plane. (though it doesnt need to be for what they are doing in the vid)

This is the same as filling your disco or defer up to the roof with gear and not having a cargo barrier or tie downs, then driving into water crossing without slowing down (just for fun). You may or may not have some serious consequences.
Good luck only, not good management.
Certainly not professional.

One of our aircraft suffered the loss of its tool kit (through the rear window!!!!) from exactly this sort of (unprepared) manouvre.
I have seen much much more stupidity than this during my career and although this was juust vomit in the end and the manouvres mild....It ticks me off.
Ever wonder why light planes have some seemingly unexplained accidents???
