I was trained by a retired Navy Pilot he used to beat into my head if you have a engine failure electrical failure or the dam wing falls off FLY THE PLANE. there will always be time later to shit your pants and look for the wing,
Exactly. I was also taught that (typically) if you have to add power when coming in you made a mistake. If you lost your engine at that moment you wouldn't make the field yet I see throttle jockey's everyday.
They are fine on one engine. They are designed to fly on one engine for as long as they have fuel. Pilots are trained to do it during recurrent sim training. In fact, most of the simulator training is spent flying on one engine. 😅
I remember one time during certification testing on the original Model 500 that we had a similar event. They were out doing icing tests and a chunk of ice came off the inboard wing and went right through the engine. Tower asked the pilot if he needed equipment. At first he said no, but then he came back and asked for the company truck. After it was over, he was asked why he changed his mind. He said, "I looked over at the other wing and there was a big chunk of ice in the exact same place."
@davestillson2269 Do they climb well on 1 engine? I spent a few hours in a king air on one engine, it would maintain altitude, but climbing was slow. Very slow. I understand they're very different airplanes.
Losing one engine is a lot like losing overdrive in your car. You may not be able to climb but the airplane is designed to fly with one engine out. Procedure is to procede with the flight and land at a convenient airport. No panic is needed or is helpful.
Aircraft flies fine with one, guy was professional and comfortable with his plane. He most likely knew the engine issue could be addressed effectively at this airport.
We train engine failures, in all phases of flight, and of all possible variations, so much that it’s possibly one of the most ‘non event’ type of serious failures. Give me an engine failure over smoke, fire, or control issues any day!
If you're using online transcription for these radio calls, try doing it manually. The transcripts for all your vids contain captions that are weirdly inaccurate.
Especially when you get up to the more expensive jets like Gulfstream, they just seamlessly transition to single-engine operation by themselves and redoes your entire flight plan and auto-pilot/auto-throttles without needing to touch anything. Feels no different than flying with both!
Not true. Being able to climb or even maintain altitude depends on various factors. Fatal accidents occur when VMC is not maintained and the aircraft stalls and spin into the ground. The hardest thing to do in a twin engine that has an engine failure it to pull the power on the good engine and land straight ahead.

I think you have to declare an emergency if you're operating under 135 rules. I could be wrong because I retired in 2010. May have changed the rules. Some aircraft ops manuals were interesting as well. Incidents requiring urgent procedures were thought of differently by the manufacturer. Such as; Land as soon as possible, or Land as soon as practical.
You should always declare an emergency if you want the full attention of ATC. It's not something pilots should be ashamed of. I say this as an ex ATC and a pilot.
I know the pilot flying personally. He was operating under part 91. 535MP is based at KSDF, but receives maintenance at KLOU. That’s why he wanted to land at that airport.
@@AnApacheMedjai 135 or 91 dont matter. you arent required to declare unless there is imminent danger to people (or possibly equipment). he was fine with engine out. landing gear issues are clearly a different matter, loss of hydraulics too etc. but an engine out with no other complications is up to the pilot. he is NOT REQUIRED under ANY FUCKING REGULATION to declare an emergency in this situation. thanks
Tower we still have three engines, no problems.... Tower we still have two engines , we're okay... Tower we still have one engine , we'll make it. Tower we see the runway, lost are last engine, will be touching down.... 😮
@@shreddder999 Western Airlines shut 2 engines on one side down on a 707 doing live training, the rudder was fully deflected and the mount for the rudder broke and it rolled into the ground killing all pilots aboard. It is the only airliner crash ever at KONT in Ontario California.
Good thought but they’ll of course need quite a bit more thrust than usual on the operating engine-the engine speed isn’t nearly twice as high but if you watch the fuel flow display on a single engine approach it is actually about double what it is on a normal approach. The pilot probably doesn’t think about this, they just read how much fuel they have and make the same conversion to minutes whether it’s one engine inoperative or all engines operating (in the Airbus we just read the fuel and subtract a couple zeros-and then call that the time remaining in minutes-ie. 9000lbs of fuel is 90 minutes). Interestingly, you would probably save a good amount of fuel if using only one engine during descent as most of the time the engines are at idle and producing basically no thrust but are still consuming fuel. However at high thrust settings with only one engine, that will burn more fuel due to the increased drag of asymmetric thrust-one wing low with a deflected rudder
@@cameronadel19 One thing I wish was made clearer is to ask for fuel in the desired denomination. My understanding is that how much fuel is usually requesting the weight of the fuel so that fire services can determine what they might be dealing with. But it I suppose them asking how much flying time he has with fuel is also worth them knowing. Either way, pilots often give conflicting answers due to it not being clear what is desired.
Now I'm curious about "low altitude alert. Check your altimeter", "I'm showing we're right on the glide path". Were they too low? If I were the pilot and wasn't CERTAIN that I had plenty of altitude at that point, I would probably immediately ascend and *then* figure put the discrepancy.
The alert in the tower is sometimes set off with a rate of descent that exceeds some threshold, not just a low altitude. Now, when landing single engine, a faster approach speed is often used to improve single engine go-around capability. This pilot elected to land on 24 with a 9 kt tailwind for some reason. The faster approach speed and the faster groundspeed due to the tailwind most likely caused his vertical speed to exceed 1000ft/min despite being established on the glideslope. Given that Bowman field normally sees aircraft with 120-130kt approach speeds (with 600-650 ft/min descent rates) the threshold for the low altitude (excess descent rates) probably triggers when the descent rate exceeds 900 ft/min. If he was in VMC and could see the PAPI and everything looked good, he was correct to continue as opposed to executing the riskier single engine go-around.
Makes me wonder at that altitude losing an engine - how many engine failures at that sort of altitude could be due to drone strikes operated by some drunk guy on the ground..
Kinda wierd that he landed with a slight tailwind. Is it bc of the emergency they cleared RWY24 vs RW6? normally performance is better TO/LA w/ a headwind...
@@alantucker3014 of course. RW06 you fly heading of 060, RW24, your fly heading 240. But he lwas CLEARED 24 despite the wind from tailwind. Normally you land with the headwind. I get if its an engine out situation, then you go with what you can, but he didn't seem, to have that big an issue with the remaining engine. Either way the point here for the armchair pilots, is headwinds are your friend when landing and taking off. When ATC clears you during an emergency they will clear you for ANY RWY...leaving it pilots discretion. Just a wierd observation. Imagine he wound up crashing...THEN we be talking about the performance impact of the tailwind!

@@landen99 That is not what I said. If you reduce your power properly you should not have to add power back in.
aviate, navigate, communicate. that pilot had it together.
A sober assessment indeed. I always keep one arm around the wing.
Not sure how well a Citation flies on one engine... but this pilot certainly seems comfortable with the idea.
