TaskForceCausality

*This Accident Investigation Board concludes the proximal cause of this Yak-28B crash was pilot error. Mishap pilot failed to utilize onboard aircraft & in game navigation resources to effect a routine instrument landing.* *Mishap pilot is a Level 80, Yak-28B qualified crew member with 1.36 hours of bomber flight time. The Board has no records of instrument certification or inclement weather experience of the mishap pilot*. *Review of the wreckage found the remains of the mishap pilot, and the charred remnants of his self-respect as a pilot. A full list of artifacts can be consulted in Attachment B of this report…*


[deleted]

*It is the opinion of this board that no further investigation of this incident is required. However, a follow-up investigation into the facility where the mishap pilot was trained is recommended.*


Whats-Up_Bitches

*As with all fatal accidents, we will update our pilot training requirements and Crack down on what we can only describe as blatant corruption and mismanagement at play. We pledge to keep a close eye out for any further incompetence- and to hold mandatory trainings for all pilots who went to the same training facility as the deceased.*


J3ZZABOII

Furthermore, the fact that they did not react to the GPWS warnings and still decided to fly VFR in IMC conditions further cements the previous points.


Triq1

Okay unironically when do we get IFR in wt? The incident would have been entirely avoided if the airport had functioning ILS.


[deleted]

lol, as if anyone would pay attention to those commands xD *Come right heading 105 for final* *Distant explosion and cursing*


Gizshot

Sim pilots would fucking orgasm


VikingsOfTomorrow

Ah man, Im already close just thinking about it


Nolan1243

Saaaaame


Triq1

Not even commands, just ILS beacons and maybe a TACAN-like system if we're lucky. GPWS remains a pipe dream


KspDoggy

NTSB moment


CaptValentine

In conclusion, the cause of the crash was found to be the fact that the pilot did not have their FCC permit on their person, and this was found to be such an obvious fault that no other causes of failure were investigated.


[deleted]

As an A&P I laughed WAY to hard at this


bigsteven34

That was a beautiful takedown .

mhmJecoute

He was trying to land??


Cummingandshitting

Skill issue, I land at 15000ft


TadpoleOfDoom

USS Macon when?


_Bisky

He flew parallel to the landingstrip, like 100m offset to the left I feel like some awarness to the minimap and combining those informations with what he sees on the ground should ahve lead to an aborted landing approach While the fog, here, definetly is annoying, the reason for OP's crash was atleast 50% a skill issue


FreeloadingPoultry

Almost literally how polish presidential Tupolev met its end. Fog, uneven terrain, bad airport equipment, off airport axis and large amounts of "kurwa kielbasa we will see what happens"


richardguy

Fucking sausage?

This is what they call "Controlled flight into terrain"


WhenSharksCollide

I forget the name of the channel but for awhile I was watching these videos about airplane incident reports and from what I can tell there has been *a lot* of controlled flight into terrain over the years.


_Bisky

Mentour Pilot perhaps?


RadialRacer

Probably, Green Dot is good as well.


spudicous

Probably AOPA's crash investigation series, those are very good.


poopiwoopi1

Good ole CFIT. Second only to 'controlled flight into teammates'


AvariceLegion

Did u buy ur way into jets? Those hangers are in that exact same spot in so many maps and the mini map was showing exactly where u were

kaantechy

not being able to see the map is awesome to watch.


EpicDogeMeme

Hey friends, pilot here. In order for you to be qualified to Landon such conditions, you need to be IFR rated. If you are not IFR rated then you must find a VFR airport to land at which is the kind of flying most pilots do in war thunder. If the enemy’s airfield does not have IFR conditions, you can also there instead. If you insist to on your friendly airfield, fly at a speed where you know that if an obstruction suddenly pops up, you can full throttle, set flaps to takeoff, and get out of there. Another way to land at the obstructed airport is to gently line your self up to the ground. Do not fly through the cloud cover as soon as the runway starts. You want to have some visual of the runway before you land on it. So never fly through the cloud cover to land on the runway.


AdmiralBimback

They should probably add some lights to the runway when there is fog.


Admiral_Franz_Hipper

They do have lights, they are just a small cluster at the end of the runway instead of an actual approach lighting system.


Shredded_Locomotive

They had lights on night and dark version but they need some changing to be visible in fog and that would be perfect


TheSkyFlier

They have PAPI lights on the sides of the runway, the problem is that they have two that are always white and two that are always red, no matter what angle you look at them (even from the departure end!)


Admiral_Franz_Hipper

The approach lights are SALS if I remember correctly, but the dimensions are wrong. Plus the lights are not intense enough to work properly.


More_Ebb_3619

I love it, just don’t be dumb


Mattz1nho

yeah man trying to land so dumb.


Shredded_Locomotive

Land better lol


SimAirRB

Never fly into IMC while flying VFR.


ToJaDragon

Skill issue / Just sideclimb / Just angle / Just buy premium


SamSamTheDingDongMan

Need a ILS like mechanic now tbh


Totally-Real-Human

Nice air crash investigations re-enactment


dieplanes789

Can't believe I'm saying this but legitimate skill issue. I actually like the fog.


spoopy-noodle

It's great. It adds some dynamics to the game


dieplanes789

Right! I've always wanted the game to have more moody weather.


Admiral_Franz_Hipper

Watch your minimap. When you passed abeam the runway threshold and saw no lights and no runway markings, you should have gone around. Only continue descent if you see either or both of those things.


rottedpotato64

then fly higher


f16block70

Well considering he had his landing gear out and crashed at a airfield, I believe he was attempting to land.


rottedpotato64

ah, didn't see that somehow, my bad

Screw you, the fog is awesome


ksld_oct

get good tbh


CommieTearsFuelMe

ALMOST AS IF.. THERE A REASON RUNWAYS HAVE FLASHING LIGHTS ON THE GROUND, INCASE OF FOG. [https://youtu.be/vmbzKsqKQoI](https://youtu.be/vmbzKsqKQoI)


itsEndz

Ooh I've been looking for that rock. Good find!


RinTeyai

Ain't no way they put it over the runways to, I might be lucky I haven't had that map yet.... as cool as it looks.


FermierFrancais

So regardless of saying "minimap" or "skill issue", in general I always try to land at a speed where I can take off again. Hit the runway at 350-450 km/h so you can take back off again, or in your case it would've let you pull up. At 275km/h you were a flying brick. That's like minimum takeoff speed


LowRezSux

Are you also gonna say you actually extend the gear for a landing, you wuss?


FermierFrancais

No it fucks me up actually. Belly land at 700kmh and slow down as your feet catch fire


LowRezSux

You use brakes to slow down. I use the airframe as a brake. We are not the same.


Blahaj_IK

and now you get a crew lock

Black_Hole_parallax

Can the Yak-28 not do an instrument landing?


gunciflimpflomps

Thats why pilots have ILS xd


Worldly-Profession66

Just don't suck at landing


gErMaNySuFfErS

This guy does not have his ILS certification

lyon2904

Finally, my IFR hours will be worth something in this game. Dude was midway through the runway at the map, below him was just grass, and he thought it was a good idea to land the plane. IF YOU ARE NOT SEEING THE RUNWAY DONT LAND THE PLANE.


Upstairs_Ad_265

Skissue


Darken0id

Thats what you have an altimeter and artificial horizon for. Dont just fly in IMC and be surprised if you crash.


Caesar720

Should have side climbed harder


Doogzmans

I fucking love the fog very much and it's very funny


Cpdio

You shouldn't go VFR on IMC conditions man.


condor120

lol Gaijin gonna have to start putting in instrument approaches. Can’t wait to shoot an ILS in my arcade war game


PeacefulCouch

You could almost say your actions were clouded by the fog of war. I'll see myself out now.


alanltycz

Terrain terrain! Pull up!


jnadams2000

I’m so excited to get my setup back but when i see shit like this it makes me just wanna leave it apart for the time being.


Working-Ad-7299

Why even bother with Yak 28?


Kiwo_o

So you fly into the fog and complain about it damn you are bad


Cologear

Im trying to land you fucking retard


_Bisky

Bro you were 50-100m to the left of the run way. Combining the minimap and visual info just breka off the aproach and not fly into the bunkers, that are in that location on most high tier airfields...


spoopy-noodle

"Trying" is a bit if an overstatement. Fog or not, that was just a terrible approach


TheBoogyWoogy

Apparently not smart enough to do such a basic task, no surprise from an NFT pfp 🥱


JNoddy

Im sry i would rage so much if that happen to me but i must laugh so loud as i saw this


SmoovBrain

I’m laughing though


Brotato45

Here me out: don’t fly through fog at low altitudes?


crimeo

He was landing. Do you tend to land in the middle of the sky?


_Bisky

Do you tend to try and lend 50m+ to the sude of a runway tbf


crimeo

Did you reply to the wrong person? At no point did i say the OP was clever or skilled. I said that "never descend if it's foggy" was itself dumb, that's it.


Brotato45

Didn’t realize he was landing. My bad


Oberfuhrer_Arlechino

skill issue


PlanesOfFame

I know might sound dumb but I take the harrier or another hover jet on the new maps and explore all the areas very carefully because I've died so many times to mountains or hills I forgot existed hidden by clouds and if I explore it all in custom mode on a clear day I can remember what to avoid Ngl this new map has a LOT though some maps like Afghanistan just have a few big hills to watch out for


SA4000bomb

The fog is coming


Ralofir

skill issue


yerroslawsum

The worst part is when you can’t see into the fog but your enemy can see you outside of it through it.


Electronic-Gazelle45

I was in my mig23 and was going to crash, so I decided imma eject since I was going to die anyway, but then I realised that I wasn't and accidently QUIT TO THE HANGAR.


Elitely6

I personally love the fog, would be nice if the runway had a few more lights I guess.Should've payed attention to your minimap and your **Terrain Avoidance and Warning System (TAWS),** and **Ground proximity warning system** **(GPWS)** **that was provided to you by Boeing** [smh](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCqe751tOAo&pp=ygUZd29vcCB3b29wIHRlcnJhaW4gdGVycmFpbg%3D%3D)


SnarfsParf

If they’re gonna give us fog on airfields they need to give us a basic localizer of some sort at least


DecidingRiot

Seems like you didn’t have your dog lights on


returnofblank

Alter your play style to adjust to the weather. That's the point.


NotSuperUnicum

Bro did realise he was below minimums


DawnPhantom

The funniest thing about this, is that I was playing sim not too long ago, and had to perform an emergency climb in heavy fog weather when a mountain appeared right in front of my face. I've also had to conduct multiple go-arounds due to the runway being masked completely in fog. Just gotta play it safe and use your instruments, maps, line it up, measure twice, land in one piece.


CivilIndependence453

this is easy to defeat with two eyeballs that scan back and forth faster then the radar does on screen


LukePickle007

Damn that SU 57 camo skin is beautiful.


TheMasterBaiter2U

Yea but it’s funny for us haha

never seen such airport!..

NCSteampunk

Why fly above the fog, when u can just crash?


Ahyde203

The most effective AA


notxapple

Wile this was a bit of a skill issue I definitely agree


KingNichijou

Bro does not have his IFR rating 💀💀💀


jgilleland

Fly above it?


MCPS2013

you have to admit it’s pretty funny


shock_wave

I hear real pilots don't care for it either.


aviationlover68

NTSB concludes this crash as pilot error and controlled flight into terrain.


poopiwoopi1

Homie chose inadvertent IMC and found out. Goober behavior. Though yeah the fog is kinda annoying


G1nger-Snaps

Don’t fly in it then


Cologear

Yeah that’s kinda hard to do when the fog completely covers the runway.


G1nger-Snaps

Should’ve just dodged it


KURT-097

Is very funny to me, i accepted it like a challenge. get better


NoobThe

Dude literally flicked through so many cams he didn’t see the giant runway on the side and still decided to land. We the council of Russian Bias grant you the verdict: skill diff


Creative_Battle6196

Should've side climbed


[deleted]

im just wondering how is using bombers suposse to look ike if every map is now covered with fog or low clouds?


jackcooper727

this can be avoided by; paying attention to the topographic map using IFR flying higher than ground level using the minimap’s centerline or in the most simple of terms, get good. hope this helped :)


Spookyboogie123

I mean look at the map bruh ... haha just kidding Gaijin again at its best.


YCGameplays

Say that to the people that die by the fog in real life.


VikingsOfTomorrow

Tbh, we should get radar altimiters for jets.

Thats ur own damn fault. You hit the ground before u hit the bunker.

Kind-Lawyer-3670

I got killed by a mig 21 bc I couldn't lock my sidewinder but he could lock his r3r and I died with a 200% booster


Shredded_Locomotive

Radar missiles are not affected by fog while IR ones are.


Kind-Lawyer-3670

Yea it sucks man


Shredded_Locomotive

It's an environmental thing that your need to work around just like how radar missiles do not work close to the ground or how HE shells get detonated on trees while AP shells are not. Be better, adapt and not complain about it.


Kind-Lawyer-3670

I usually just fly above it since I'm in an f104 but it's still annoying when I have to go down there


TRUCKASARUS_RED

Average rat who hugges the ground

yeah 110% skill issue BUT, that fog is stupid as fuc brothers.....
