Several people have been mentioning the infamous Boeing 727 go-around at Mogadishu after a Diamond DA-42 does not vacate the runway in time. Here it is… the Captain rolls out after the 360 almost perfectly aligned with the runway in a 50 + year old jet 😎

This isn’t a scene from a movie - it’s a genuine rescue that took place today by two SWT pilots. A tanker crossing from Galana to Kulalu was pushed off the causeway by raging floods & flipped on its side, the driver stranded in rising waters. Read more:

@ConstandBenard @Jasiri_BFM Helicopter can take off in 3 profiles;in ground effect(normal one),out of ground effect (vertical takeoff) and rolling takeoff (like fixed wings). Roll-on take offs use the minimum power so in case you are heavy,hot and high it’s the best profile.

If you lose all engine power in a helicopter, you don’t fall from the sky like a brick. You can ‘glide’ in a controlled descent (autorotation) to the ground keeping a close watch at your rotor RPM.
