  • @ThanhPham96
    @ThanhPham96 13 днів тому +4

    He either have carb icing or his tachometer is broken, I've had both happened to me. Since it doesn't look like he's losing much altitude during the duration of the emegency and how wildly the RPM swing according to him, I would put money on his tachometer being broken.
    One lesson that new GA pilots need to know and I only learned via experience is to also use your ears. If the tachometer is saying you are gaining 500-1000 rpm very quickly but you don't hear any audible engine noise surging/changing, you can somewhat assume that your tachometer is broken, still pull carb heat and land asap.
    For carburator engine with carb icing, I heard my engine slowly losing rpm and audibly throttling back. Like the instructors said, pulling carb heat will make it run rougher, you just have to leave it in and adjust the mixture to keep the engine running. It will run extremely rough and cough quite hard if a big chunk of ice melt and introduce a lot of water into the engine.
    In either case absent of other issues, pitch for best glide and trouble shoot the problem. Climb if pitching for best glide mean you will climb. You might need the altitude to glide back down if your engine totally die. Once you are over the airport, doing a spiraling descent with reduce engine power close enough to the runway where you can perform a power off 180s if your engine suddenly die is your best bet if you have to skills/know how to do the maneuver. As always, consult your actual CFI and go out and practice various engine out scenarios.

  • @Haasino
    @Haasino 17 днів тому +35

    At the end of the day everything worked out successfully for the pilot, so this is absolutely not a criticism of his actions... just a postflight observation from 0ft/0kts: with winds out of the west, he was coming into a smaller un-towered airfield with a 2,700ft x 75ft runway running 070-250 which meant either extending his time in the air to enter a downwind for 25, or attempting a tailwind landing on 07 with less than 3,000ft. Camp Pendleton MCAS was nearly identical distance, but has a 6,005ft x 221ft runway, a manned tower, and crash/rescue equipment that would be standing by in the event things went wrong on landing. The length of the runway would have also been more than sufficient to make a tailwind straight-in landing to get on the ground quicker. The fact that it's a military airfield doesn't matter to an emergency aircraft.

      @paintrayn89 17 днів тому +3

    • @Zebacha
      @Zebacha 17 днів тому +16

      His workload may have been a bit too high to be studying the charts. He may have known Bob Maxwell from a previous flight and been more comfortable with it. Who knows. For a student pilot, he did at least as well as expected and, I would argue, probably better than expected. The fact that there are areas where he was imperfect are both unsurprising and expected. The simple fact is that he remained calm, dealt with the issue as best he could, and found a place to land safely. Every decision he made was justifiable and reasonable and that, really, is all you can ever hope for at any stage of a piloting journey. Guy did well.
