Ilyushin Abandons Take Off
Discussion
Loving how 'relaxed' the locals are, just taking videos and such.
As for the Il-18, absolutley fabulous aircraft and very, very sturdy. I flew on a LOT Polish Airlines one back in 1988 and was lucky enough to spend some time on the flight deck. I remember very vividly talking to the captain and him introducing me to the first officer, flight engineer, radio operator and the navigator who was sat at her own desk plotting the route the aircraft was taking over Central Europe!

Ignoring the instructions from Air Traffic Control, no doubt.As for the Il-18, absolutley fabulous aircraft and very, very sturdy.

Something puzzles me about this after it has ended up in the sand... the dust appears to still being pushed rearwards by the props, which begs me to ask why the props hadn't been put in to reverse pitch..?
Im impressed the nose gear stayed upright though!
I don't know exactly which part of the video you're referring to, but despite having the props set in the Beta range (reverse), the engine exhaust is still kicking out a great deal of rearward thrust, which would account for it. If you're referring to after you hear the pilots shut down the engine, nearly all turboprop engines will automatically unfeather/put the props back into the alpha range on shutdown. Makes start-up less exciting!Im impressed the nose gear stayed upright though!

At 2:52 as the camera zooms out you can see very clearly that the props are in reverse pitch.
At 1:45 as the aircraft is arriving in the sand pit, the sand cloud is catching up with the props, it reaches the prop face and is pushed rearwards (watch it in slow motion).AS the engines were being spooled down as the aircraft came to rest, perhaps the props had been put back into normal pitch, or feathered. Looking at 2:52 again, perhaps I was wrong, it is difficult to see which way the blades are facing.
Possibly the twist which all prop blades have, means that when the tips are in reverse pitgh, the roots are still in normal pitch.
I've wasted too much of my breakfast time on this and really need to get a life now ... bye bye!
