That looked like a cub and those have damn near vertical takeoff and landing also if you overshoot you have plenty room to gain airspeed and climbing out
@Adam Fthis is a special "bush plane"... it has extremely high lift wings, flaps and slats, good breaks and wheels, plus the props are reversible, and to top it all off I believe this is the same guy that has been competing in short take iff and landing competitions almost as long as he's had a pilots license...
@Saint Darwin It’s a Carbon Cub with a minimum takeoff distance of 27m and minimum landing distance of 47m. The helipad was 27m so yes it’s barely designed to take off in that distance but it’s not designed to land within that distance.
This guy has to immediately start training Fighter jets' pilots, cause he truly has unique habilites for taking off and landing 🛬 on an almost not existing Airstrip 😁👏👏👌👌
Bush planes are so much fun to fly and are quite common over here in Aus. What you can do in a bush plane compared to any other places aeroplanes in terms of landing and take off is amazing, but this dude is next level yo! I’m talking water landings to slow your landings and thick bush, not building tops haha Huge respect from a guy who flys for necessity in rural Australia 👊🏽
Everything was executed to perfection. Wind direction and speed accounted for, the flaps, the touchdown spot, the brakes and then the final butthole clench brought the plane to a complete stop just on the edge of the abyss
No. - This plane heavy mods are Mike Patey's job. Without him, no success. - Any seasonned bush pilot can lando this plane. - No pole dancer in the World Aerobatics Championship in the last 20 years. - The best pilots seem to be the French.
Bush planes aren't fast, but light weight and manuverable. They can fly slower than any plan and almost hover like a helicopter flying in head wind. They are designed to land on rough and very short landing strips. This guy has skill!
This guy is too cool. I envy him. Of all of the things I wanted to accomplish in my life when I graduated from high school I've exceeded all of my wildest dreams with the exception of just one... The only flying that I've ever done has been on the ground.
They're called Bush planes, used in SAR operations in really remote areas. There's even competitions for shortest take off and landing. Incredible planes though, there's a guy here on YT who designs and builds his own.
