This is crazy!
Just jump in and go, no preflight done…..
In case you haven’t seen it, this is an excellent reminder that there really
are good reasons to do a thorough preflight and to make sure the
controls are free.
From R. M., FAA now but formerly Army Caribou Pilot.
Caution this is real ugly. Please preflight by the book.
This happened just north of Winnipeg, and the aircraft was the
first version with PT-6-67 Turboprops.
The Canadian DOT concluded that the control locks were still
locked when the aircraft took off.
You who have flown the Caribou wonder how that could have
happened when it is physically impossible to advance the
throttles with the lock on – but this aircraft was being
modified (still restricted category) and the
throttle quadrant was not properly rigged to accommodate the
throttle levers for the turbine engines.
Three people were on board; two test pilots and an engineer.

I believe this was a test hop after conversion to turbine power. I don’t believe there was any cargo aboard, therefore, a cargo shift and C.G. shift was unlikely.

Not a mechanical failure…he took off with the gust locks in place.

athena, you are an idiot… my son’s flying teacher was witness to this crash and my son was shown the video in the course of his studies to become a pilot.
So, better check your facts before you spew nonsense from your behind.

Athena1976: sadly this is real, the yoke and aileron broke at take off causing the hard turn to the right with the inverted pitch which led to the crash. The person doing the video was the administrator and was filming his friend take off. After the crash the brief interruption is when he was asked to turn the video back on for evidence.
Athena1976: No, …
Athena1976: No, this video is not “fake”. Read the description and do your own research before spewing accusations, please. This accident happened on August 27, 1992 at Gimli Industrial Park, Manitoba, Canada. Perhaps *you* would drop your camera and run if if you saw a plane crash; but not all people react as you would. And the cameraman’s voice does not sound “calm” to me, but shocked and grief-stricken. He just watched 3 of his friends die. How would *you* react to that?
It’s fake. Notice …
It’s fake. Notice how the camera perfectly follows the plane into the ground, like if he knew it was going to happen. I would have gotten scared and ran the other direction, how would you know that the impact wouldn’t hit you? FAKE! And such a calm voice at the end…
Shock? Why does he …
Shock? Why does he need to say anything?
Fake….fake…. …
Fake….fake….fake. Why didn’t the camera man say anything before it hit the ground?
Fucking funny that.
funny that.
