How to Beach a Turbine Grumman Mallard
Рет қаралды 22,156
4 жыл бұрынWatch as we beach one of our 1947 Turbine Grumman Mallard at nearby Rankin Point. The use of Beta and Reverse on the PT6A-34 engine helps us back the plane on the beach. Pitch locks on the props keep the props locked in the reverse position helping us move away from the beach easily.

Love the sound of those PT6's and the distinct prop sound.

Looks so easy on calm day with no wind!.. but glad to see you have the procedure down pat now, Dan. No more hats being blown across the sand-bar :-)

So I’m ignorant to this subject. Can someone explain why is the rope tied from tail to wing float?

With the landing gear, do you ever fully beach the aircraft? For things like maintenance, etc...

And if there’s a strong wind? That must make it a lot harder.

Nice job n beautiful bird! But I didn't see the use of an after shutdown check list! Complacency is a bad habit to adopt in aviation.
