Good lesson about not taking for granted what’s in the Manual. So many factors that mitigate those numbers - the age / wear-and-tear of the aircraft, pilot skill level (we are not all test pilots), etc.

Brings back some great memories of my early days in GA. Thank you.

No problem :) I got a lot of em if you want to take a look.

The highest compliment a man can pay a warplane. It will get you home.

Curious, the landings of the Malibu, the pilot never pitches up to land on the mains. Both landings were 3-point landings. Is that standard for the Malibu?

Nope. Glad to see I’m not the only person who noticed this. I’ve seen it on other videos as well. Could be poor training, or just laziness. But it IS bad form, and could result in “porpoising” Down the runway. Not good. 3-point landings are only for tail-draggers. A tricycle-gear airplane should touch down with the nose wheel maybe at least a foot off the ground, i.e. the plane should be STALLED with the MAINS a couple of inches off the ground. That’s an ideal landing. I’ve also noticed folks flying with both hands on the yoke, like they’re driving a car. Birds fly with both arms. Pilots fly with one. One hand on the yoke (or stick), and one hand on the throttle, ESPECIALLY during takeoff/climb and approach/landing. This will prevent “throttle creep” on takeoff, and facilitate instantaneous power-up in case of a go-around on approach. Also, what’s with pilots looking like they’re eating the microphone? I was taught to keep the mic about a fist’s width from my mouth. No need to have it right up against your lips. Personally, I would find that irritating. Anyway, sorry to ramble like an old-timer. 😄 Blue skies.

Funny how LORAN is now ancient history.

Unfortunately in 1991, this plane, N9113X was destroyed when the pilot ran it out of gas. No one killed, thank goodness.

@@jackhammer111 Wow, seems like a pilot that was trying to crash the plane, maybe for insurance purposes?? Fails to follow ATC and then flies past not one, but two, runways. He had to have done that one purpose.

@@mouser485 I doubt it. Did crash 2 miles west of Burbank Airport which looks like the north part of North Hollywood. That would be either a residential or industrial area. He and his passenger are very lucky to be alive. He was headed Southwest and they were trying to vector Southeast and he would have had to make a wide turn to run away 33 which would have been Landing directly north. I wonder why they didn't vector him to land on Runway 26 which would have been directly west. Maybe they thought he was too far south already still landing on Runway 33 from his southwesterly direction would have involved about 200 degrees of turning while flying Dead stick. When they say he flew over to approach ends clear on which Broadway ends those were.

@@mouser485 I doubt it. he Managed to put it down in a small open area of a big junkyard in 7200 block of Laurel Canyon Boulevard 2 miles west of the airport and he was damn lucky to find that or he'd have been killed along with his passenger.. Frankly, I think he'd I've had problems getting it down because it would have involved him doing 200 degrees of turning to make Runway 33 which would have been Landing south to North and he was flying Dead stick. He might've decided could do that much turning without stalling the airplane. I noticed the report doesn't tell the pilot's side of the story. A friend of mine got killed in an airplane I had been in the mountains near Lake Tahoe and I had lots of questions about the NTSB report. I think they don't put as much effort into civilian crashes. I was going to call this guy a dumbass, but then I thought about Harold and thought nobody really knows what's going on in the airplane but the guy that's flying it. By the way, Harold, his wife, his daughter, and his daughter's fiance were all killed in that crash.

@@jackhammer111 yeah, he managed to put it down but not until he flew right past 2 runways. If he intended to crash a plane, he did everything right. If he intended to put the plane down safely and without injury to himself, passenger and the airplane, he did everything wrong. But, who knows ?

A lot of safety procedure information in this yet the pilot of that Malibu ran out of fuel on a 1 hour flight at 3,500 feet and ignored tower instructions on how to get the plane on the ground safely crashed it seriously injuring himself and the passenger and later lied about how much fuel he put in it. The video talked about the great glide ratio of the Malibu and it did Glide a long way. It glided right past two Runway thresholds and crashed two and a half miles beyond the airport. Ntsp put it squarely on the pilot. www.baaa-acro.com/sites/default/files/2020-07/N9113X.pdf

I never understood how people almost never run out of fuel in a car, but they do in airplanes! 😳🤔
