Always Looking Down (King Air 200)
Video of transitions of flight in a Beechcraft King Air 200 on a trip from Sulphur Springs, Texas to San Antonio, Texas.
Awesome video. Watched the whole thing. Surprised there was no jubilation at the end. He just asked which taxiway to go on! LOL. I would have parked right in the middle of the runway and got the hell out.
Thank you for responding to my questions.
ATC have the capacity to move traffic onto an alternative frequency. If there is a dedicated channel for emergencies, howabout a dedicated flight instructor who can be patched straight in? Simulator facilities operate pretty much around the clock, surely a quick call to an instructor on a red phone would suffice?
I am not criticising ATC or anyone else, but to me, the response was far from being “slick”.
@RebelRadius
Yes, that was satisfactory. That aircraft was not the only one in the controller’s sector.
Not every pilot knows how to fly a King Air, so it was better not to say anything.
I would want to speak to ATC. They would be able to get me to the nearest airport.
ATC cannot just hand their headset over to someone who is not a controller. Once again, the controller had more than just that aircraft in his sector.
ATC has to be in command for reasons as I just stated.

Thoroughly superb job from the pax/pilot , SIR! Kudos! ATC professional as always.
ATC took 6 min’s to respond to a simple & clear question from the pax. Is this satisfactory?
No pilot offered assistance (be it to respond until ATC can sort their shit out), why not?
If this was you, who would you want to speak to? A pilot perhaps?
Why did ATC have to relay questions/instructions from a 3rd party?
The conversation shud be with the pax, a pilot & controller (pilot being in comand)
congrats to everyone involved and to the fellow that took over flying the aircraft. I’m sweating bullets listening to all of this and they are maintaining there cool better than me,again congrats to all.
Well done. Excellent work all around.
People on here amaze me…it’s real easy to talk all big and bad from your computer seat but put yourself over the Gulf in the right seat of this King Air…your family is in the back and a dead pilot to your left….we’ll see how you do. BTW, ever seen the instruments in a King Air?. He only had a handful of solos in a 172 which was several years ago. My dad knows Doug personally and he said his wife and two daughters were praying the entire time. Awesome job in my opinion.
Tampaslice and tadrosp, let me start off by saying that you guys are assholes. I supose that you guys have forgotten your first solo eh? The King Air did not bring him home, he flew it home. Not to mention he had a dead pilot on the controls and his family in the back! The questions that he was asking were very relevant. He wanting to make sure he was fast enough to stay out of a stall and not too fast for touch down. Its like a ME pilot landing a 757 with his loved ones on board and no co-pilot
WTG DW !
Flashing light “AP DISC” he mentions means autopilot disconnect. No factor.
For Mr. White’s detractors, keep in mind that you didn’t learn to fly overnight and probably aren’t the smartest pilot out there. His pilot died in front of him, his family was on board, and he’s a PP flying a fast turbine twin, but you want to call him slow and point out his deficiencies. I’d take Mr. White as a student and all things considered, I think he did a great job getting the King Air on the ground.
Egotistical punks. You are probably regional FOs flying 1900s or RJs for $25k/yr.
Glad this turned out fine. But this SE pilot seems to be on the slow side, maybe just too nervous and frantic. Glad he was able to manage though!
Good job by all involved. Mr. White seemed to be trying to make it more difficult than it was, he was in the best plane he could’ve been in. King Air pretty much brought him home by itself. Mr. White appeared to forget all his pilot knowledge, panic was setting in and he was talking without thinking first. Absolute miracle all aboard made it on the ground safely. Calm controllers saved the day.
The female controller is Ms. Lisa Grimm and she is not only an ATC but a flight instructor as well. You can tell by her conversation. She is the one who got White convinced to disengage AP, realized his immediate problem was the AP climb that he couldn’t stop, and carried him on over to Ft. Myers.
Good job!
DW is truly a hero for his effort, quick thinking and for remain in calm when the things went bad… also the controllers were fast in their responses and they made all the things that were possible for DW to make a safely landing… im sorry for the pilot who died in this flight. congratulations to mr. DW and all the traffic controllers for the heroic actions that they did to make DW familiy come home safe.
It’s clear that the true heros here are the King Air passenger Doug White and the female controller who seemed to think of everything, such as not to turn during the decent and hold the yoke when disengaging the autopilot. Sounds like she may have been a flight instructor at some time. As a pilot myself, I never would have believed that this safe, smooth landing could be accomplished by a single engine pilot. Hats off to all these extremely professional controllers and to Doug White.
who ever that female is, she did a good job teaching the guy
Condolences to the family of the expired pilot. Very sad his life ended in this way. He was actually interfering with the controls; that is why DW tried to engage the autopilot so they could pull him out of the pilots seat to ease the landing.
I think DW is the hero here; greasing a landing under very difficult circumstances. I heard he was trying for his instrument rating which may have helped here.
Check out his sense of humor at 9:19′We’re having a hoot’. Cool under fire.
its clear although the pilot isn’t a certified pilot at the time, he has either held a license at one time or has flown up front a lot. turns out he had a license in the 90′s, lucky really.
good ear…. Doug white didnt fly since the early 90′s also… he definitely was not current in an aircraft.
Pilot dies fron 00:26-00:31 I think he is supposed to be saying “Miami center, king air 55niner delta whiskey 8500 for
14″
Sounds like he just runs out of breath.literally.
He had 230hrs in a 172. The original pilot sounds like he’s dying when he calls atc.
NO, you don’t!
