C202 engine runs after ditch
« on: April 19, 2005, 12:47:41 PM »
I was in a C202 with a leaking oil system. I came in a bit hot for landing, so I was ussing full rudder to slow down. I veered off the runway a tad, and in my attempt to get back on before I was totally stopped I teetered and lost both wings. I found myself resting on the runway (thankfully) but my prop was still running.

I have a film if you require it. I think this might have happened in a 190f8 recently too, but no film.

Pretty vague... Where you wheels up when you landed?

No, I had a good landing but I was too hot, so I was crabbing to port, only I crabbed off the runway, and touched the brakes to get back on it (only did it too hard) and ended up digging a wingtip and slamming the opposite wing in, and then ended up with no wings and no wheels sitting on the runway.

That's when I noticed my engine was still running. WHILE I was sitting flat on the runway. It should have pranged instantly.
