Maybe I'm being paranoid, but if that thing had been mine, I'd be more than a bit concerned about the wrap "un-wrapping" during high speed flight. If that shit got into the main or tail rotor, things could go south in a hurry.
I thought about that too. Probly against FAA regs or something. Now, I'm hearing it wasn't even his bird that crashed and there was no black box. Apparently there should be a black box on the 76B model.
I don't own a Kel-Tec but still like this advertisement.
Double braids, night shirt, and no shorts? Very cool.
Green socks pulled high and tight? Uhm, ok.
Sitting at the top of the stairs, pointing the barrel at the ceiling, while staring ahead at, what... another room upstairs, instead of arguably the threat downstairs? Wtf.
No LBV, but she remembered to put on her dangly earrings...
At least she's cute.
Edit to add: here's a hotter "Kel-Tec holder"

Two Convicted Child Rapists Beaten To Death By Fellow Inmate - The Police Tribune
Corcoran, CA – Two convicted child rapists died after a fellow inmate used his walking cane to pummel them in their heads. The fatal attack occurred at the California State Substance Abuse Treatment Facility (SATF) and State Prison on Jan. 16, the California Department of Corrections and...

Who says inmates don’t have at least some redeeming qualities....
A happy ending!

If it had been a bit further North than California I might have tried to guess who provided the lead filling for the walking cane?????
She’s clearly looking up at the man who removed her pants, now emerging with a weapon.
That picture is just wrong....there are only two genders when clearly...........
And just in case it is lost on some people it is a joke.
I felt the same way, so I looked it up. I knew it is done on homebuilts, but didn't know about anything else. Apparently it is approved for airliners in commercial passenger service, so I would think it would be approved for this application as well.
Hmmmm, interesting, Thanks.
(Although, I bet prep is imperative to get it right. A well respected, experienced helo pilot "apparently" just flew into the side of a mountain..........mistakes happen. Do I trust that the booger eatin' high schooler that did the prep did it right/didn't "miss a spot" ? No. I'll stick with paint, thanks very much).
HP is only way to dispatch with idiots in the left lane that i have found

I prefer this style of vehicle....
This thread used to be motivational, where my folder full of saggy titties?
I am trying but getting too old for this shit. Last week our chiller plant committed Hari Kari, within 24 hours I sourced a far superior replacement that could be delivered, installed and commissioned within 5 days for $60 000. My management decided to hire a rental unit for $2600 / week that took 7 days to be installed and committed to buy a replacement unit for $80 000 with a 5 to 8 week lead time. They can throw money away like that but when I suggest padding one wall around here for me to beat my head against it gets denied.....
Yeah, I agree on the paint, but from what I've seen it's all on the pilot. Flying in conditions that grounded the Police fleet, and NOT on an IFR plan, and asking for SVFR clearance (you're already on the cusp of screwing up when you're doing that), floundering around trying to get in some clear air. I suspect the final report will say "controlled flight into terrain". I have to wonder if he wasn't pressured by the client to GO. If not, then it would seem to me he was either incompetent, or too complacent having done it many times before.

I wondered why he didn’t just file and fly an IFR? That’s what I kept asking myself when I listened to the tape.
I'm going to amend my previous statement about pilot error/incompetence. They're saying now that at the time of the crash they were descending at 2000 ft/min. While I wouldn't doubt a pilot with his experience could make a bad decision and fly a perfectly good aircraft into terrain, I highly doubt he would lose his bearings enough to get spatial disorientation and lose control in IMC (ala JFK Jr).
With "Experimental" registration IFR was probably not available, the aircraft type is in commercial service with all the appropriate instrumentation including CVR and FDR but in private use with unknown pilot skills who knows what was going on? I did hear a witness statement that did not support a 2000 ft / min rate of descent prior to impact.
I hear you and find this personally motivational. I’ve been hanging here at this job because it was convenient, but find myself in a similar soul sucking situation. I’m motivating myself to do the right thing and move on. For my mental and physical health and happiness. It’s easy to get stuck in a rut, but uplifting to be recognize it and begin the change.
We are actually somewhere in between Second Winter and The Pollening right now.
You wouldn't know 2nd Winter if it froze your oranges.
When I lived in Daytona, the 500 was the official beginning of Spring. No more morning jacket, unless you were on a motorcycle.
The problem was the aircraft was not equipped with TCAS..... with his kind of money I find that hard to understand...
I hope this chick didn't have the red chile/ jalapeno pinto beans with her smoked brisket last night for supper like I did.
If I was the driver, I be wearin' a hoodie............
Yeah, no, I don't think there's a connection between the exterior finish and the crash.
But, the same "vanity" associated with the desired finish could have infuenced what (possibly/probably) turned out to be a bad/fatal decision on the pilot's part.
That’s a pretty quick turnaround you got Barney, most of the time on any chillers or large tonnage DX systems it’s 6-8 weeks ( Trane/carrier) We try to plan for replacement ahead of time that way we don’t have an emergency, although I know how management is on that mind of thing. “ run it till it dies” we have several that are ticking time bombs
I never wanted to be a piece of string so badly.
Agreed, however in this particular situation if would have been invaluable and probably prevented the accident assuming there was no mechanical issues....
There are VFR flyways in and around the LA area, but in degrading weather TCAS will only help so much. At some point the pilot has to commit to IFR. VFR to IFR (IMC) kill many pilots. If you've never experienced it, you have no idea what an uncertain 60 seconds that can become. I've heard a report that the aircraft was descending at greater than 2000' per minute. Bottom line, the pilot lost his situational awareness and either pull so much power he drooped the rotor, or he reduce the power enough to enter an autorotational descent. Neither one of those implies good decision making. Bottom line, we'll probably find out he lost his situational awareness and became spatially disoriented. Quite possibly the most uncomfortable phenomenon you'll ever feel. Your body screams one thing, the instruments say the other. 99.99% of the time the instrument are right. If they are wrong, it's usually only one, and you have to fill in the gap with the information from the other. Now, the S-76 typically has some level of an autopilot. But if you put off your decision to land until you can't, then you try to commit to IFR and haven't trained the transition in a while, it can end badly.
In one of the most heavily radar covered airspaces in the US, it's an unfortunate and avoidable loss of life.
What kind of eagle is this? And how large would you estimate him to be?
He's on the top left pole.
He's on the top left pole.
im a fixed wing guy so bear with me, is 2000fpm a normal autorotation rate, it seems a little fast to me......
