- On November 5, 2020, at 2233 central standard time, a Cirrus SR20 airplane, N720TX, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Fort Worth, Texas. The flight instructor and student pilot were not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 instructional flight.
The flight instructor and the student pilot were conducting touch-and-go takeoffs and landings to runway 16R. After the airplane touched down, the nose of the airplane came down and the nose landing gear collapsed. The airplane came to rest on the runway.
Examination of the airplane by an FAA inspector revealed substantial damage to the firewall and lower composite structure. The nose landing gear tire was flat, and the nose landing gear strut was separated at the top of the assembly.
A video provided by the flight instructor, which recorded the landing, showed that the accident landing was not a hard landing. The airplane touched down and as the nose of the airplane came down and contacted the runway, a sound consistent with a flat tire could be heard, followed by the subsequent nose landing gear collapse.
According to the FAA inspector, the airplane had experienced a hard landing about two months before the accident landing. The operator had completed the Cirrus Hard/Overweight Landing maintenance checklist and subsequently returned the airplane to service. The accident landing was the fourth landing following the return to service.
The nose landing gear strut assembly was not retained by the operator for metallurgical examination. Pictures of the fracture surface were inconclusive. - Розваги
UA-cam has decided to demonetize videos of accidents that show "a strong moment of impact," regardless of context.

UA-cam senior management are all ghey azz pedo cult. What you expect. They can take a thumping in the bum, but can't even stand a little gore. Fk em
Pretty soon, the only thing UA-camrs can produce are cartoon videos of rainbows and unicorns - as long as the unicorns don't prance, thereby producing strong moments of impact. Good to see that the pilots made it out okay!
Remember when YT wasn't sh1te
They’re super inconsistent. The Sun has combat footage from Ukraine with people getting blown apart, but heaven forbid a person trip over a video of a plane turning into a fireball.
Thanks for sharing. 😉👌🏻
Oh wow my home town. Cant belive smth like this would happend with the broken steel bars that woild carry on the wheels. I saw that they were slightly broken but was still a cause for the wheels.
Flat tire or nose wheel shimmy?
These cheap castoring nose wheels usually end up costing more in the long run.
Wait, he didn't pull the panic chute? I'm shocked
Way too low to deploy chute
@@Durandalis sarcasm bro
You only do that when under water.
@FlatSpin2001 OnTomahawk exactly. We use to call those TraumaHawks..btw lol
@@pkelly3463 They were made to teach spins. The hard way. That happened in year 2001.
I’m happy that everyone is safe after this and hopefully the Circus company will continue to looking into this one so no one else will ever go through this situation.
There was a hard landing with this plane 2 months earlier. 1:50
@@banjo2019…there was also a hard landing inspection. Remember, planes are the safest forms of transport- until someone neglects to perform their duty.
If he had just pulled the chute like a normal Cirrus pilot...
sounds expensive
I knew making those gear supports out of aluminum foil was a bad idea.
guess the inspector needs some new glasses.
UA-cam is getting a little to big for their britches!! It is Aircraft safety!!
Damn. Looks like everyone made it out okay and handled the situation professionally. It's a shame that happened. Didn't look like pilot error.
Read the video description.
@@bruce2357 I did. And?
it actually _was_ pilot error.......4 flights ago lol.
Officially though, you're correct.
Inspector seems to have missed this one pretty bad; 4 more landings isn't much lol. (I know nothing about the subject though, so he may have had no way of seeing it).
@@SuperPhunThyme9 yeah lol
Why was the approach flown below the papi (3°)<
Not good anytime especially at night!
Glad they are okay however.
Airplane doesn't know or care what color the lights are. Myself and many other pilots fly primarily out of short strips without papis, and not enough runway to purposely waste the first 1000ft. Just keep the runway or something soft within power-off glide distance, that's all that actually matters.
Easy - that's a "big airplane" PAPI on a big, long runway. They were looking to touchdown at the numbers to maximize distance for their touch-and-go so instead of wasting ~2,000' of usable runway by flying the PAPI, they flew a 3* glide to the numbers. Remember, the PAPI only works if you're landing at the Touchdown Zone. If you're landing before or after, it's useless.
Someone forgot to reinstall the quantum shock absorbers.
The approach looked good but unfortunately nobody can overcome a mechanical failure like this. Hope the pilot / passengers are ok.
UA-cam is getting real soft.
That sucks.
Previous crack on nose gear.
PAPI had 4 REDs!
A PAPI that is configured for an airliner's point of view is always going to show all red when you're aiming for the markers in a small GA aircraft...
@@Harrrvey Where in the AIM or handbooks is that written?
@@Harrrvey The PAPI is configured to get you to a certain point on the runway and assure obstacle clearance.
It's never smart to go below it at night.
@@bruce2357 Correct. In fact, a small GA aircraft like an SR-20 should be higher than an airliner glide path, not below. This landing didn't look hard enough to break a nosewheel, but it was not a "good" landing, IMHO. Kind of disappointed that there was an instructor on the aircraft and he didn't advise the pilot to fly a higher approach.
I try to have 2 reds and 2 whites even in a 152 that will typically give you 3 degrees. At night I'd definitely avoid 3 or 4 reds, but they probably know if there are any hard bits poking up and maybe the instructor has told them to fly that approach. For all that, I'm gutted on their behalf. I would have swore a lot more.
That aluminum 2x4 has been broken a while there's hardly and clean metal on that break
they should have made it solid
@@TheInsultInvestor nah solid would weigh too much and eat up useful load for no reason. video showed that part of the report was that there was a hard landing prior to this landing, probably sustained some damage that eventually caused this failure later. the original design is strong enough when undamaged or we'd see a bunch of SR20s with failing nose gear.
Yeah you don't want it too solid because if you had a hard emergency landing that solid piece of aluminum is coming into the cockpit with you and it's not going to be happy to see you lol
@@tyw4439 I'll bet they wish they had went ahead and paid to replace that strut after the hard landing instead of just having it inspected.
Apparently, they didn’t inspect it well.
Absolutely gutted. Nose wheels are a constant source of anguish, you never know how previous pilots have landed. Still, both the pilot and the plane will fly again I'm sure.
Yes. Probably. But at a very substantial expenditure of cash.
How can you be so sure ?
What's the reasoning behind demonetizing videos with strong moments of impact?
Reason? You want REASON? Don't you know that "reason" and "logic" are nothing more than social constructs designed to propagate the Eurocentric male patriarchy? UA-cam will never participate in that kind of microaggression! What kind of radical right wing maniac are you!??!! 😉
Ground to a stop ,and not a single F-bomb .
So much for the front gear, the prop, AND the PowerPoint. Sudden stoppage you might as well consider that engine a cotre. But nobody got hurt. That's the main thing.
Sounds like it had a super bad shimmy
I pray everyone is ok.
Apparently all eleven on-board died in the fiery aftermath!
I'm over eighteen and I hate UA-cam or any other censorship
👍
UA-cam is going to become a snowflake only website. I cant wait for the next better user upload video site.
Im surprised they investigate aircraft this small.
Id assume responsibility would fall on the pilot/owner.
Non-commercial, non-pressurized.
Waste of resources.
The airplane crash is fault of the owner.
They allowed it to fly.
Deaths are the fault of the passengers.
They got on board.
The airline makes no explicit guarantee you will not die in an air disaster.
Before you say "reasonable expectation of service":
30,000ft over the Atlantic ocean; you should be thankful you aren't dead.
You take the risk, you accept the consequences.
Don't want to die in an airplane crash? Don't fly.
Umm…they couldn’t even invest in a fractographic analysis of the fracture surfaces lol? My interns do more thorough failure investigations jeez. I guess they assess risk of recurrence and severity vs continued investment into the failure/incident.
You're right, its an equation. Cost addressing the problem vs risk of being sued or reputation. Often they won't fix a design decision of its cheaper not to. The risk of death is probably considered low, and airframe damage isn't their problem. Cessna could have beefed up their dodgy drinking straw nosewheel strut holder design in the last 70 years but they didn't. Its a consumable part instead.
Generally lousy approach, red VASI all the way down, left to right drift in the flare, flat touchdown on right main first.
I'm glad UA-cam demonetized you're channel. You show the moments of death for people.
You persuaded me to join the channel as a paying member.
The aircraft was clearly bounced. This happens with poor pilot skills and often is the result of trying to fly the aircraft on whilst having excess airspeed.
Dont blame the aircraft. The failure was probably set up by previous similar landings, but regardless, that was a crap landing and they got what they deserved.
