Hmm steep glide slope, too much flap, it dropped it's ass right into the deck
Great job giving the Crash truck credit for starting those hoses so quickly. The senior people Chiefs and Officer that leaked the video were awarded NJP (its not a good thing).
Paper plane
She didn't even have her landing gear down.
F35 are trash
I heard that it was her first time landing on a carrier. I also heard the sailors that recorded it were demoted for releasing it. They lost rank and got injured but she losses a $100,000,000 plane and nothing will happen to her guaranteed.
I know that an expert can turn in and level off within 1 mile and land on a jet he is trained for, but when it is CLEAR and CALM and not on a WAR TIME FOOTING all approaches should "square up" from 5 miles out to REDUCE PILOT WORKLOAD thus ensuring a higher percentage of ACCURATE LANDINGS!
Furthermore, on short approaches like this, always stay a "bit high"…no crash and if you miss the arrestor cable THEN you gun it and 'take off' and do a more careful 2nd landing attempt of course. Maybe 5 miles out sounds like a "belt and suspenders" mentality but if it saves 1 plane a year at $200,000,000 each I'd say it is WORTH IT!
I’ll bet its another super girl pilot who found out that she didn’t have what it takes to be a man.
"Low" wasn't the problem, "slow" was the problem. I suspect this was a "Shit Hot" break (fast, at the round-down, usually a little low). Out of the "SH" break the pilot is very short on time to configure the aircraft (gear/flaps) and engage PLM (precision landing mode) which includes autothrottles. My speculation is autothrottles never got engaged. The SH break sets you up for a fast decelerating approach and the autothrottle never caught it because they were not on. When the pilot realized it and went to mil or max it was too late. The engine was spooled all the way down to flight idle and there just wasn't enough time to spool back up. Yea, I think there is a good chance some form of "modal confusion" took place, even if it was just thinking autothrottle was engaged when it was not.
A little sidenote on autothrottle. I don't really know much about F-35, but on other Navy aircraft autothrottle works two ways, 1- up and away the autothrottle maintains a commanded airspeed, and 2 – Power Approach, autothrottle maintains approach angle of attack. In "traditional" Navy aircraft on approach, glideslope is controlled by throttle and AOA is controlled by pitch. With autothrottle, pilot is only controlling the pitch axis for glideslope and autothrottle is taking care of AOA. Since the introduction of PLM (aka "magic carpet") almost all carrier approaches are autothrottle PLM or FPAH (flight path attitude hold).
wasn't this the first flight of the first female f35 pilot?
Juan, would be curious to hear your opinion and maybe that of other of your subscribers who have flown the MH-60 on this incident report centered around failure of a "yellow hose" that led to loss of a dampener system. I'd love to hear more about how this ground resonance dampening system is intended to operate. https://www.cpf.navy.mil/Portals/52/Downloads/FOIA-Reading-Room/2022/hsc-8-04-command-investigation.pdf?ver=d8ViUIiIQmI0d85ijQ384A%3d%3d
What a 100 million dollars looks like in the water, yeesh!
What exactly was this piece of junk doing over there anyway?
the best news ever
Not a pilot and wasn't on a Carrier. But I appreciate the Navy shoutout for the decent training. I can recall practicing and running drills until everything that could seemingly go wrong was 2nd nature. Probably a lot like you guys in the air. We scrammed one reactor for drills in the gulf and during that had a 2nd reactor scram (real) and you never seen so many guys moving doing what needed to be done and it was like yesterday!
New subscriber…..he was a lucky man to survive hitting the Fantail and ejecting in time..great training.when I served on the USS Saratoga in the 70s and 80s fortunately
I never had to witness that but I did see some stuff that stuck in my head still. A guy
2 months out of basic was chalking an E2 and walked into the propeller.thankfully he didn't suffer.we found his eyeball in a padeye and I was working on fuel station behind it.you get used to the tones of all the
Engines and I noticed a change for just a few seconds and by the time I looked up I was covered with his body parts.it was horrific and I still remember it to this day.
Happy Easter
One less ugly fighter.
Who was the LSO?
Please don't said SouthChina sea. Should said south east asia sea.
The wonderful F35 don't need to be shot down, fall by it self. I would like to see this plane in Ukraine. Only then we can say it is as good as what the US say it is.
I learned that they watch a lot of television in the Navy…
Big E Cruise 98-99, S3 & F18 crashed within the first week.
The Chinese will be celebrating this pilot's sinking this ultra high tech war plane in the South China Sea!
I don't doubt that they will deploy every asset to recover the wreckage before the US.
Pilots of this low standard should not be flying aircraft of this type.
No worries, the taxpayers will foot the bill.
Basically the pilot fucked up and crashed his plane!
So what happens to a pilot in a situation like this? Lose winga?
Wake up world. Women do NOT make good pilots !!!
My inside sources say that the pilot was having a C-19 vaccine reaction, there is a reason the pilot audio has not been released.
These F35A and F35C jets are fatally flawed. The HMD gets uncalibrated and the pilot sees reality overlayed at incorrect offset. Thats what caused the other crash too if you read that report. Worst of all, the plane's computer ignores frantic pilot abort inputs, a problem quite reminiscent to Boeing 737 MAX. These jets should all be grounded until they fix it.
Ridiculous that Navy didn't get the VTOL ones, also. Why risk men's lives with carrier landings?
Was this the female pilot that crashed
I have one question, why is there an F-35 in the South China Sea, and there are no Chinese or Russian jets in the Gulf of Mexico?
This plane sucks!
I’m PROUD AS FUCK to be Ex Navy Crash & Salvage (flight deck firemen) USS Enterprise CVN-65. We trained every week and once a year down in Pensacola. Some the funnest times of my entire life.
Never mind all that bollox, did he get his toxic jab?? The day or days before.
I was on board while this happened and the response time from the whole crew was amazing. We had all 4 wires repaired 45 minutes after it happened and actually flew a full flight schedule the next day. Everybody involved made it out alright including the pilot thankfully, could have been disastrous.
Cockpit occupant not qualified.
I did a WESTPAC on the Vinson in 94' with vs-35.
There went about 200 million in American taxpayer money.
This is what happens when you design an aircraft with VTOL and decide to land conventionally. Don't be an idiot. Use VTOL. That's karma.
Drunk driving.
Turns out it's a she not a he
$120 million in the trash
You keep assuming the pilot is male…
Meh, he's just trying to land the jet on a sub.
Even though the carrier is (ideally) heading into the wind and maintaining full speed to (provide relative wind assistance) Could a random, unknown, short-term invisible wind shear condition occur sometimes in the wake of carriers AND, if so, encountering windshear, Could such an inexplicable meteorological circumstance explain the unusual sink rate shown in the video better than a green pilot's typical unfamiliarity with spool-up time/pilot error? What did the pilot have to say? When the bird's recovered, they should be able to assess when what happened, their response, pilot and bird, and why. Fly Navy!
You keep referring to ‘him’ but I’ve seen elsewhere it was actually ‘her’’. Will the investigation really get to the bottom of it? Or would a conclusion of pilot error by the only female pilot in the navy be considered discrimatory an unacceptable by some in high places trying to ensure sufficient diversity in all parts of the forces?
Pilot was a woman. Serious. Her first landing but she was fully trained and checked out. Woman can't parallel park and just cost tax payers a billion dollars in overall costs including salvage.
firefighters were staged before the fire, maybe they knew she was going to crash, oops, lets not bring up her gender now
