Richard Stewart Posted September 23 Posted September 23 Richard Stewart, ANGEL 1. Too all concern about the incident, at Boonah ... I was personally present on the airstrip, taking videos of the morning's activities. I can tell you from first-hand account, The aircraft in question had no engine issues as it taxied past me down to do pre take off checks & radio calls by the pilot were as per normal. .... I have full video from takeoff roll, full power full rpm, to lift off level flight full power to gain required airspeed after wheels lift, he kept level low full power all the way towards my postion ..at no time did the engine miss a beat .......... then at rotation to climb ...........he raised the nose to high angle of attack ....my first thoughts .........oh .... don't do that. You're not going to yank her off the deck now are you ........yes that's just what took place .... nose went 60 degrees plus, engine went .....cut...I'm stopped. ..........inertia took him up a few more feet, then pilot rolled nose over to obtain best glide for EMG straight ahead.....nose down 60 degrees ...my camera still filming........................ENGINE OUT.............. wings level... I HAVE RESPONDED TO YOUR QUESTIONS TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND .......................................... NO MEDICAL ISSUE FROM MY PERSPECTIVE NO ENGINE MISS FIRE OR PROBLEM PILOT WAS ASKED AT COCKPIT DURING RECOVERY ... BY ATTENDING EMG PARAMEDIC ....... ......WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER ABOUT THE CRASH. PILOT REPLIED, I DONT REMEMBER GETTING INTO THE PLANE AT ALL......... RICHARD STEWART--- WAS AT FRONT OF PLANE WITH FIRE EXTINGUISHER IN HAND ..WHEN PILOT MADE THAT COMMENT .. TO ALL PILOTS -- THINK ABOUT YOUR OWN FLYING BILL WHITNEY DESIGN THIS SCAMP...THATS WHY THIS PILOT IS ALIVE... DURING ------''THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN ''--- ''THE SPIT'' ---- HAD TO PERFORM A ROLL TO HOLD ...POSITIVE - G - ON THE CARBY...OR AS WE ALL KNOW ENGINE CUTS OUT..... THE GERMANS HAD ------EFI ----------------- DO I HAVE TO SAY ANY MORE HERE, OR HAVE WE ALL FORGOT THE BASIC TEACHINGS OF OUR FLIGHT INSTRUCTIORS...---- Gentlemen....................... until the findings are public ...................put this one down to angle of attack & fuel loss or spark loss take your pick...i was standing right at the moment of total silence on take-off.. .I think ... no fuel...at moment stick was pulled aft... if they find & other cause well, we will find out in time. TOP PORT WING WAS CUT OFF AT THE STRUTS ....BY FIRE EMG SERVICES..... TO ALL WHO WERE THERE, WE HAD A POSITIVE OUTCOME ........................... TO BILL WHITNEY ---------------- THATS WHY BILL IS THE ENGINEER... 10 OUT OF 10... ON A PERSONAL NOTE............................................ PLEASE THINK BEFORE YOU FLY.... RESPECTFULLY RICHARD STEWART ENGINEER OF 42 YEARS AND COUNTING. (ENGINE RECONDITIONER AS WELL.) 3 4 1

danny_galaga Posted September 23 Author Posted September 23 Hi Richard, I don't want to bust your balls about this, since you are a very rare thing- a witness who knows about aircraft and who filmed it. The devil is in the detail here. How far do you reckon he was from you when you hear the engine quit in the video? If he was say about 300 metres away from you, you have to wind back the video pretty much a full second. That is where the engine actually quit. I don't know enough about this configuration of biplane. Could it be that trimmed for takeoff under full power, it would be inclined to pitch up with an engine failure? Or maybe when the engine has quit, he has pulled back to gain height and then pitch down for glide?

danny_galaga Posted September 24 Author Posted September 24 (edited) Thanks for the detail. Are you saying you observed two problems? That he pulled up violently/prematurely and that after he did his engine also failed? Could it be then that he could climb at that steep angle normally, but this time the engine quit on him? Incidentally, I just bought Divinyls - What a Life on vinyl. Been getting into LPs again and that was one of my favourite albums back in the day 🙂 Edited September 24 by danny_galaga
edsbar Posted September 24 Posted September 24 Richard Stewart, the mural on the tail of your aircraft is appropriate as it would seem you have touched yourself way too often! You have thrown the pilot well and truely under the bus with your unqualified ramblings. 1 1
KRviator Posted September 24 Posted September 24 @Richard Stewart - for gods sake, please format your posts and stop using capital letters in your submissions. It's incredibly hard to follow your ramblings to date and, to be frank, my eyes glazed over and I CBF'd taking in anything except the most basic points from them. You say there was no engine misfire or problem, then nek minit say there was an engine failure. It matters not the flight attitude if the engine stopped unless inverted or pushing negative G's with a fuel or oil system not designed for that - I can routinely climb out at 25-30* nose up in cool weather and light weights for sustained periods, and regularly turn crosswind halfway down the 1100m runway - and yes, that's at 500AGL... An engine failure in climb and you're blaming the pilot...Bit rough methinks, no matter your opinion as an eye witness. Perhaps you should post the video so we can make our own deductions. 3 1 1
RFguy Posted September 24 Posted September 24 Put the post into an AI chat robut like Gemini and tell it to " reformat " here is the result after removing non printables The text you provided seems to be an eyewitness account of a light aircraft crash. Here's a breakdown of the key points: Witness account: The author witnessed a light aircraft crash at Boonah airfield. The author claims the aircraft was in good condition before takeoff. The pilot performed a normal takeoff but then climbed too steeply. The engine failed, and the aircraft crashed. The author recorded the incident on video and called emergency services. The author's thoughts on the cause of the crash: The author speculates that the pilot might have panicked or made a mistake during the climb. They also consider mechanical failure as a possibility. Additional points: The author emphasizes the importance of pilot training and safety procedures. They acknowledge the emergency services' work and the role of Nigel Arnott in the aftermath of the crash. The author mentions their own aircraft (Angel 1) and their experience in aviation. What I can't do: I cannot determine the cause of the crash based on this account. An official investigation is needed. I cannot verify the accuracy of the information provided by the author. Is there anything specific you'd like me to do with this information? I can help you summarize it further, answer questions about specific parts, or search for news articles about the crash (if available). 5 2

onetrack Posted September 24 Posted September 24 IMO, I would suggest Richard stick to repairing engines, and avoid trying to become an immediate on-site air crash investigation specialist - and perhaps take up a professional writing course, so he can communicate with others in a precise and succinct manner - as RFguy has done so very well. I've seen some erratic forum ramblings in my time, but Richards postings take the cake. 2 2 1

THIS CONVERSATION IS OVER. The most important thing is he is safe, and you have video that could be helpful. Being Ra Aus that's the end of the line investigation-wise. It would be instructive to see the video. Or at least contact Brian so he can view it and comment on it. Not remembering what happened doesn't mean he did anything wrong. Don't make it about you. Enlighten us, but don't get upset that we are finding it hard to follow your posts. If a picture is worth a thousand words, what's a video worth? Why describe it when you can just show it? 3
