The plane took off from Kenosha (KENW). I was literally at Kenosha practicing landings 5 minutes after he left. Crazy.

Always glad to hear that everyone's OK.

congratulations! good job!

Good thing it was clear. In my home town a young Naval officer lost his engine (Piper) and tried to dead stick. It was night and raining. He had his parents with him. Hit a wire and came down in front of our house. No fire, but nothing could be done. Terrible.

There ain't no road just like it... In seriousness, the pilot did fantastically and I'm glad no one got injured.

Great job!

Jeeze it’s not like we had a nice airport there or anything

They had to fly under a pedestrian bridge and maneuver rush hour traffic, amazing job!

News reported he went under the foot bridge and landed, but that's the news reporting still feasible. It's always a tricky landing with cars, my thought is better to land just ahead of them, once they see you they should stop, and of course wires too. Having parcial power is a great help and going on ahead over populated area trying to make it back is always a bad decision because you might have complete engine failure. Maybe some carb ice?

Ercoupe has a slight advantage vs a lot of aircraft for a road landing.. its relatively small and has a low stall speed. (actually hard to stall the thing due to design limited elevator authority) Has a good chance to reasonably match speed of traffic.

@Trvlrxxx

5 жыл бұрын

Hard to stall but vertical speed is akin to a piano when forward speed gets too low. I own and fly an Ercoupe. Great planes! Extremely safe but not bullet proof in any sense of the word.

What are those noises on the frequency? Sounds like some digital signal

Ho does it work: When the controller finds out everything is okay (or not okay...), is he/she replaced by another controller so he/she can have some rest and collect the thoughts?

Maybe if that f'ing criminal Chicago Mayor Daley hadn't plowed Meigs airport under in the middle of the night that Ercoupe could have landed there, on a real runway, instead of on a road.

Greg Stark , The thing that really irritates me is that the airport's arrogant elitist unapproachable attitude was gone once the EAA-Young Eagles program started operating from there. As far as public good there was a excellent plan to create a aviation museum, education center, Young Eagles base, etcetera next to the airport. Political and business support was growing for the idea. EAA members around the nation wanted to participate in fundraising for it. Instead we got a major mental mess of a mayor who found some legal loophole so his wife could build a giant flower garden on the lakefront.

(a mean question) After landing on a road/interstate, does the insurance cover or the pilot goes bankrupt?

5 жыл бұрын

If there had been any actual damage, insurance would have covered up to the limits of the policy. Landing on a street has no bearing on coverage. If the plane was totaled with insurance, it would most likely not involve bankruptcy as the plane's value is only about $20-$25 thousand.

Did you hear of MS995? It diverted to Dublin because one person is sick, coming from Cairo, originally to Toronto Pearson. Any?

I used it as a kid making model airplanes. Stinky stuff. I remember a field that had a couple of hangers where they flew Ercoupes and got my dope cheaper there since they had it in drums. Stuff was expensive then I can imagine what it costs today. I note the old paper and dope method has been replaced with an iron on material. And I imagine balsa wood replaced by lighter and stronger graphene when they figure out how to make it cheaply.

Zzyzx Wolfe, no, within several of the radio transmissions, when the microphone is keyed, you will hear a "screeching noise", that tone, is called an "identifier", and announces, on a radio base station's data console, the identity of the unit transmitting the message. The technology is commonly used by police, fire, and EMS agencies; but in the 40+ years since I first started flying, I'd never heard that in any VHF-Air transmission.

@Zizzily

6 жыл бұрын

Ah, I'm not completely sure about that. There's FANS-1/A for CPDLC that uses D8PSK but that's either over VHF or SatCom. Though, it should be noted that these recordings are generally from LiveATC.net which is a network of enthusiasts who monitor the frequencies and stream them online and also record them. They often use SDR, so it could be interference or something, or perhaps a repeater or something else that's a part of their setup so that it only records while there's activity or something similar.

@AMStationEngineer

6 жыл бұрын

I'm thinking it's either an identifier, or a CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) sequence, used to activate or disable a repeater. I know that some airports use an open carrier-type activation; ARCAL, or PAL systems to control nighttime runway/taxiway lighting, but this "ain't it"... I'll work on it, then let you know.. It sounds similar to a 'squat packet transmission"; but that scenario doesn't come in to play here.

Excellent landing. And even though Chicago people (i live there) are some of the biggest assholes on planet earth, hands down, if not THE biggest 99 percent of the time.... In an emergency, they can become some of the best people on earth. It's weird. 2 extremes for sure. You need to merge in heavy traffic? Guy next to you will flip you off, and then mash both gas and brake alternatively to keep you from getting in. Because fuck you, that's why... But a stricken plane is coming down on the road? That same Chicago driver will intentionally wreck his own car just to make space for the plane and then run over and make sure the dude is ok. Anyone from Chicago knows this. Worst people to be around during normal circumstances, but in a major catastrophe? Hell, id take a million of them right beside me. It's almost like we spend so much time constantly being mad at each other in this city, that the humanity gets so bottled up that it just forces its way out in an emergency.

Crash-landing = you broke something in process of landing. Have to wait for NTSB report (there will be one for engine failure causing landing on road) for actual cause of loss of power. They'll probably haul it back to the airport and have it in the air again within a week if its not a major engine issue.
