kalizzi Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Jan mentioned in his comment on the "Phantom Formation" thread that landing aircraft on water can be challenging, so I said why not try the easier thing, i.e. take off? I used the ORBX Freeware CAG8 Pender Harbour Seaplane Base, and pulled out a rarely used Cessna Birddog floatplane out of my hangar. Rolled off the jetty leaving the passengers behind, not much of a bush pilot here. I thought with seaplanes there is no runway to run out of... or so I thought... The birddog did not achieve the ramp effect that Sea Harries get at take off from British carriers. So I ended up nose heavy. The end of a very short flight. On the plus side I left the crash without getting my feet wet. Great Airmanship? eh? Best wishes.

kalizzi Posted June 3, 2019 Author Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) Thank you all, well wishers, and sympathisers. Every cloud has a sliver lining: I am glad and proud that I qualified for the von Peerhoven academy. //To confess I did try to evade the accident, jammed my feet hard on the brake pedals but nothing happened, I did try the handbrake to no avail either. An accident investigation will blame brake failure for this crash for sure, so its definitely not pilot error.

kalizzi Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 Someone is trying to sell a flight academy with this logo: which shows a head on of an aircraft with only one flap deploying. What that means in practical terms is that this can very well be the last moments of these two unlucky occupants.

flightsimg Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Great! That's a good solution for the Peer Academy to teach how to takeoff, from land with a seaplane! Now you should find the same for a usual GA plane --or whatever land plane-- to safely land on water That should award you a per life membership :):):):) Gérard Guichard, Dijon, Burgundy, France. i5 Intel processor, 4 Go of Ram, Nvidia GeForce 920MX, DirectX 12.0, and FSX Gold Edition with SP1, SP2.
