Actually, in normal flight that is true. It is NOT always true on takeoff in a C-130...especially on a #1 engine failure. You might want to take some people who have actually flown the aircraft's word for it.
My boss, who is an O-6, is a 25 year C-130 pilot, took one look at the video and that was his conclusion as well. He explained it like this: On takeoff, there is a LOT of torque. All the props are rotating the same way. If you lose an engine, the aircraft becomes hard to control. If you lose #1...it's REALLy hard to control. It is really easy to overcompensate on rudder controls and it can get out of hand very easily.
If you look at the video, you can see that this is exactly what happened. You can see a little rotation back to the right as the pilot applies right rudder...he is overcompensating and then he probably applies too much left and the torque gets him.
The video is exactly what you would expect to happen on a C-130 with a #1 engine failure on takeoff if the pilot doesn't respond perfectly. That is per a 25 year, combat vet C-130 pilot.
....thanks,..overcompensation explains the nose in...
In the video the C-130 is yawing and not centered on the ball. Pilot is applying more power on starbord side and also losing airspeed. He pitches down but torque rolls to the port side. It could have been a port engine reverse pitch runaway prop failure and with his weight and trim could not control the roll. More nose down would have helped, but he may have been looking for a place to set it down before pitching his nose down and waited to long trying to keep it in the air. Sad to watch.
