Crazy Landing!! Kids, do not repeat this at home!!
jimnmsI'm a pilot, I know the rules and regulations. I thought I'd put that in my last reply, but it looks like I didn't. The PC-6 is designed to do this maneuver, and if it were dangerous it wouldn't be certified to do it.
The posted video and the one I linked to are doing the same thing, a rapid descent (also called emergency descent). Generally rapid descents call for slowing down to the safest operating speed with which the aircraft can fly with flaps and landing gear extended (it's usually marked on the airspeed indicator), bank into a 45° or greater turn and use pitch to keep the speed right at the max allowed speed. This is the fastest way to lose altitude without gaining excessive airspeed. Instead of using steep turns, the PC-6 uses its prop as a brake and can just descend at a steep angle without having to watch airspeed to avoid damaging flaps or gear by accidentally going too fast.
I don't want to drag this conversation out any longer, so I will just sum it up with this blanket statement. Decent, approach and landing make up about half of the risk area in flying statistically speaking. Private Part 91/General Aviation constitute the highest level of risk of any aviation. Human factors are by far the most common accident type, and this type of hurried flying is just a "human factor" accident waiting to happen. With that said, I bet there is a very small accident rate on things like this overall, but if there is, it is on someones head. So while I was being kind of hyperbolic because of my fear of flying, there are still risks to consider, and this type of hurried landing style is a style that is a human factor crash waiting to happen, which is the highest factor in crashes, during the highest risk part of a flight, in an aviation mode with the highest level of deaths per miles. He is, by statistical analysis, engaging in the most risky set of flight behaviors and conditions possible. And I am fine with that, as long as he isn't doing it over my house. That is all from me good sir, over and out!

How Not To Pass
DarkhandHonestly I don't think this guy was trying to show off. Unless someone can show me the rest of the video I think this guy was intentionally trying to run the guys filming off the road.
Besides the really REALLY steep turn in angle for no reason (since the road looks to be straight) if you have enough money for a corvette I'm sure you have enough money for a decent digital camera for your friends to film you with.
