Terrible Accident of a Cessna 182 in Colombia

que video tan impactante

I'm not quite sure about the wind. You can look at the trees, they don't move at all, and you would need quite a gust to unbalance the plane like that. So I'm not convinced the crying woman couldn't be a cause. What was she crying for by the way? My spanish is a bit rusty...

And......Darwin kicks in.

Man ive watched it a few times, and it still screams stall to me. Look at the AoA at the end. Then his aircrafts sinks and just befor he hits the ground his left wing drops.... I know she was uncontrolable i wouldnt be flying with her, but I think the guy stalled. He was pulling back back back praying for some altitude and airspeed. RIP.

There could be that the mother of the sick kid push the Pedal and then rolled left?

I think this guy is a bit of a meat ball. Im guess its just to darn hot humid and high. Colombia is not a place to be overloading your ac. to bad he had to take people with him.
Standard Stall out too, he rolled to the left. The stall horn must still be ringing in his ears.

Me too, to many factors contrubuted on the accident, finally a worst case scenario came in and then the fatalic crash

It's always sad to see such things...
aero101 : I agree with you.

The rudder was not the problem. If you look at the dust storm taking off, it's blowing left. The plane was blown left due to wind...not rudder. For trigon, 'overloaded' is not defined as being able to lift off or not. An overloaded plane can easily takeoff in ground effect. That plane was operating in a high temperature, very dry, and overloaded environment. All off these factors contributed to the "mentally" ill pilot making stupid mistakes.

well if u ask me, the front passanger who was already mentally down before take off caused the accident!
i also fly the c172 and c182 for the atpl licence right now and u can overload it without problems - if they are too heavy, you wont get up - simple :) (dont get me wrong - im not overloading my planes!!)
but the short acceleration and roll distance speaks against it - but: look at the bank and the ruder... there must someone of the first two push the ruder very hard for such a manoeuvre and then u havent got any chance to recover!
maybe the lady on the front seat got scarred, pushed the ruder and didnt let it go anymore - like a cramp
as i said - my opinion

That's bad...

Horrible.

It was not a High altitude ground, It was very close from the Pacific Ocean in a region call Nariño in southwestern Colombia. I am sure that the plane was overloaded with 4 passengers, medical equipment and a Oxigen tank for the sick pacient. too many people for a little cessna. pilot fault? who knows. any way a tragic accident.

Yeesh, I guess he didn't...4 people plus medical equipment and most likely a high pressure altitude environment considering the region, no surprise he couldn't get out of ground effect.

I wonder how many hours that pilot had?...

s***
didnt do his weight and balance?
