Oops.

The pilot of the tail wheeled-equipped airplane reported that, he was on 
an approach to land at an uncontrolled airport behind two helicopters. 
An airport surveillance video showed the accident airplane flying over 
the runway about 20 seconds after a helicopter was in a slow hover taxi 
adjacent to the runway. The pilot reported that he saw the helicopter 
and decided to land long to maintain separation. He added that while on 
short final, he saw a helicopter 'cross' the runway, so he increased 
engine power to full and attempted a go-around. About one-third of the 
way down the length of the runway, the airplane encountered the 
helicopter's downwash, and the airplane entered an uncommanded steep 
right bank. The pilot applied opposite aileron, but he was not able to 
maintain control of the airplane. Subsequently, the airplane impacted 
right of the runway and sustained substantial damage to the right wing 
and fuselage. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident 
mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have 
precluded normal operation.


According to Federal Aviation Administration Advisory Circular No. 
90-23G, Aircraft Wake Turbulence, 'pilots should avoid taxiing or flying 
within a distance of three rotor diameters of a helicopter hovering or 
in a slow hover taxi, as the downwash can contain high wind speeds.


Probable Cause: The pilot's loss of airplane control during a go-around 
as it encountered wake turbulence from a slow hover taxiing helicopter.

It is really cool to see a Boeing or Airbus pass under you both out the
window and on ADS-B while flying through the departure path of an airport
(TUL in my case). Yes, I was under air traffic control - they told the
airliner to stay under 5000 ft till they were past me.

They can automate avoidance maneuvers with that data in the drone - I don't
trust human drone "pilots" to not hit me while I'm in the landing pattern.
I want it in all drones.

I'm not sure why they put the receiver in the drone and use the uplink 
signal to get the info to the pilot, seems like putting the receiver in 
the pilot's hands would be more than good enough.

True. But it’s also fun to see what’s passing overhead.

A lot of military flight ops here due to the relatively quiet airport and 
altitude. They clearly come to train on a regular basis.

The youngest’s work is right under the final approach for 21, less than a mile 
out from the threshold, so he likes to be able to watch the activity in the 
pattern and see it when it passes over.

[MBZ] OT - Fun with ADS-B

2022-06-25 Thread dan penoff.com via Mercedes
Youngest son likes to track flights, so I got him an ADS-B RaspberryPi receiver 
from FlightAware. It came with a little base-loaded magnetic antenna that he 
had stuck up in one of the skylights in his room, which limited the reception 
somewhat.

Just put up a full blown ADS-B “stick” on the roof today and hooked it up. Not 
a major difference in reception, but a lot better range, for sure. We’re 
picking up flights from as far away as 100 miles and a lot more traffic to the 
east and south, where there’s little in the way of topography to block our 
reception.

Fun to see all the traffic going over the house.
