(Video) Plane crash from inside cockpit
"This is unprecedented footage of a small airplane crash from inside the cockpit from two different views. Miraculously, everyone survived. The pilot will make a full recovery and the rest of us escaped with superficial injuries and feel very lucky to be alive . This trip was much anticipated and due to our excitement we had our Gopro cameras filming at various times. After flying up into the mountains for a hike in the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness we were planning on flying… (www.youtube.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
WX at the time was: KSNT 301951Z AUTO 19008KT 26/M03 A3011 which would make the density altitude almost 8900ft! With 4 pax and likely close to (or above) max gross, they would likely have had little or no margin for error and failing to lean the mixture or a downdraft may have been the final link in the chain. Thankful to hear everyone made it out safely though.
where was this? I don't find a KSNT. curious what the fld elev is.
It was at Bruce Meadows (U63) near Stanley, Idaho. Elevation 6370 ft. Runway length 5000 ft.
KSNT is a weather station just south of 2U7 and 22 nm SE of the accident field.

I appreciate the objectivity of this forum!
Andrew's numbers are spot on. DA was 8900 ft. Wow!
Student question... even though a high sink rate is technically an incipient stall (see Air France), I've never heard a stall warning with level attitude and high angle of attack (i.e., sink). Something about the aerodynamic environment of stall tab I imagine. Anyone?
Abort? He didn't abort because he didn't plan it. Time gets gets distorted on roll-out. You have to know your time and distance points BEFORE pushing the throttle. I'm just as guilty as anyone.
My take aways...
1) Do what we don't always do... calculate V1 and know in how many feet you need to be there. If you don't get there, pull the throttle.
2) If you don't haul back on the yoke and stall the airplane, you can walk away from a tree-top landing. Despite the planning error, the Stinson pilot kept flying the airplane.
