disaster Spin Recovery Was Not An Option

Could he see anything when he was airborne. Like flying in fog

It (a spin) can only go so far until you run OUT of control surface "authority". After that, you're getting a dry cactus up the ass. Thanks monk, for the aviation stuff!

I think we might have witnessed either a miracle or extreme skill… possible luck

He just needed to hit the ground to stop the spin.

Pfff. Real pilots don’t need no stinkin parachute.

Throttle back. Stick centered. Full opposite rudder. Gently pull out of the ensuing dive. Land at airport. Drive home. It’s a lot less fuss.

Video: Chute Save! A Spin In An LSA Nearly Turns Fatal - Plane & Pilot

A video from BRS shows a pilot in an LSA survive a well-developed flat spin thanks to his chute. Watch the spine-tingling video here.

Full quote:

"What do you do in a developed flat spin? If this question sends a chill down your spine, you’re not alone.

The video, which shows a test pilot of an LSA trying to recover from a well-developed spin pulling the chute, finally. According to BRS, the plane suffered only superficial damage. Without the chute pull, the pilot would have had to have bailed out. The crash resulting from the spin into the ground would almost certainly have been unsurvivable. As far as the pilot’s flying technique is concerned, we won’t weigh in, except to say that commenters have tended to focus on his lack of convention spin recovery technique. Power back, stick neutral, opposite rudder, nose down. The video begins with the spin already in progress, so it’s possible the pilot attempted conventional spin recovery prior to the start of the footage. Regardless, he’s here to talk about it, something that most likely wouldn’t be the case without the chute."

They should put emergency parachutes on airliners 🤔

 

[wiggins]

They've been around for a few years now but it's a great concept.

I don't think the idea can be scaled for air liners.

Parachutes are only for pussies. Here's how real men handle a spin.
