    This is such a good lesson for pilots on the importance of declaring the emergency as soon as you even think you’re having a significant issue. As an ATC, I’ll have pilots (especially new pilots) try to tell me a whole story about what’s happening, how it MGIHT be an issue, they PROBABLY need to land immediately, and they talk very casually about what is actually a very serious situation. As if they don’t want to make it clear that this is an emergency and need assistance. It took you 6 seconds from recognizing you were losing power to say the words, ‘MAYDAY MADAY MAYDAY.’ That is the way it needs to be done. Those words leave no doubt in my mind that this is an emergency an you get whatever you need. And don’t feel bad about it. Why play games with your life? Because you feel bad about inconveniencing another aircraft? Gimme a break! It’s your life! Just do it, and do it fast! Quick action buys you time, and time buys you options. Respect!

      Well, I’ll give u the answer as the why that is exactly the opposite of how pilots are trained. Everyone has heard; aviate, navigate, communicate, the reason why I’m not calling you first in THIS SITUATION, no matter who makes a radio call no matter who has eyes on the aircraft this is coming to an end in a matter of seconds no matter what. That plane would have landed perfectly safely making the turn putting it down on a different runway just as they did without talking to another human being. getting the plane on the ground is first priority and then you can talk to whoever you want so they can be a part of the story later….what’s the alternative??? Do the timing on this video from emergency to touchdown… let’s see if the first thing he did was talk to tower… by the time tower contacted planes on the other runway and he was coming in there would not even be physically time for those people to move out of the way, therefore radio calls don’t matter this is due or die one shot, gravity always wins regardless of who I talk to on the radio this comment is ridiculous!!!!

      @@twveachlike everything in this world it always depends. There’s going to be a difference between a commercial airliner and a Cessna trainer when it comes to these incidents, for example in commercial they have pilot flying and pilot monitoring so therefore the pilot flying is working on nothing but keeping the plane in the air during an incident, whilst the pilot monitoring will be handling ATC, going over checklist and looking over instruments, so in that situation pilot monitoring should declare an emergency after any major incident has happened. But that’s all assuming you have height and gliding distance, this vital time would be spent preparing for the emergency where seconds count. But this is different, there’s one pilot, whilst the other no offense to her but at this time is just a passenger and there’s a huge workload dumped upon this pilot to digest, process and react by himself. Don’t mean to disagree with ya mate just wanted to say it can go both ways and depending on the situation is depending what actions or reactions you take. And the young gentleman did a splendid job, hats off to you

      He never said call first. His whole point was about being decisive and direct. Look at your own statement:
      Aviate: He identified a potential major issue and took control.
      Navigate: He maintained control and immediately iniated a return to the field.
      ONLY THEN did he communicate.
      He did not try to diagnose the issue, he did not act indecisive, and he did not hesitate.
      And even with short notice, there is a lot that can be done on the ground. A ground stop would prevent any additional traffic. Emergency services can be on standby. Other inbound traffic can be stopped.
      Your comment is the ridiculous one.

      “You can train for an emergency as much as you want. You don’t know what’ll happen when it occurs.” As a fire service Instructor, no truer words were ever spoken. After every fire incident, preferably before we leave the incident scene, we take a few minutes to talk with the first in crews. We discuss their actions, decisions that we made, and the outcome. We reinforce the things we did well and try to learn and share those things that did not go well.
      This instructor has the ability to share, learn, and grow, both within himself and with his student. I agree with the others in this thread. She is in good hands!

    Good job!
    Many years ago I was taking an aviation science class (ground school, really) and the instructor was going over engine-out procedures. He emphasized keeping the "eyes outside the cockpit" looking for potential landing spots, in case the engine would not restart. One of my classmates asked "what if it is at night and you can't see the ground". The instructor, Dr. Spradlin, said that if the landing lights work, turn them on. When the ground comes up into view, if you don't like what you see turn the lights off. Everyone laughed except Doc. I asked if he was serious and he said yes. "At that point, you have done everything you can do, there is no point in worrying yourself about something over which you have no control". I have never forgotten that lesson.

    Also if you ever think your going to run off the end of the runway you need to create as much drag as possible to slow you down so don’t be afraid to kick those doors wide open and use them as a brake. I’ve had to do that before on a short runway and it works like a charm!

Immediately gave the controls to my instructor and he landed us safely. Could've happen anywhere in our route, thankfully it was on final. Right spot, right time.
    Having a real emergency really opened up my eyes to the risks we take. As mentioned in the video, it made me prepare every future flight in a better way.

    One of the things I noticed when she was flaring during her unstable approach, on go around she dumped all the flaps back out which is probably the cause of the nose dropping and not continuing a climb. Very important to maintain airspeed on climb out and not to configure your flaps until you have a positive rate and an increase in airspeed.

    • @MichaelBuck
      @MichaelBuck Рік тому +6

    • @ericgraham7026
      @ericgraham7026 Рік тому +8

      Absolutely agree… and never dump all flaps in one go - build speed/attitude, check speed, dump some flap and continue this process until attain zero flaps speed. There is a very generous white arc for flaps in training aircraft.

    • @zacharytaylor190
      @zacharytaylor190 Рік тому +6

      On some older 172 models, you can put flaps to 40 degrees. At higher density altitudes, this makes it almost impossible to climb, so I was always taught to add power, forward pressure to maintain level, carb heat off, and immediately raise flaps to 20 degrees, if they were set to 30 or 40. Then establish above 60 knots and a positive rate. Then incrementally flaps to 10, then full up, maintaining no less than 60, and positive rate the entire time. I was trained in central alberta, where most airports are between 3000 and 4000 AMSL, with higher density altitudes on most summer days.

    The “where am I going to go when the engine question on takeoff” was one of the first things my instructor mentioned to me in the flight portion of my training. In over three thousand hours, that has saved my life four times. In each scenario land straight ahead was not an option. I was always high enough to safely make it back to the airport. Twice I put it in the grass. All four airplanes were back flying again in a few days with no damage. While flying VFR I am always looking where I am going to put the airplane when the engine quits. I say when, because chances are, if you fly enough, it will happen. The powered plane then becomes a very draggy glider. If you plan for it, it won’t be an issue.

      I lost a friend to a similar mishap...about 12 years ago all the local ultralight 2-stroke Rotax drivers thought a little alcohol in their fuel was the enemy, and all went to this one non-ethanol supplier a couple towns away. Simultaneously they all had engine problems and refused to blame the fuel. Symptoms were little metal balls forming on the spark plug tip, and about 50% loss of power on takeoff right over the end of the runway. Guy in question just filled his tank, so was a bit heavy, and lost power on climb out, instead of getting his nose down immediately he hesitated, he didn't like the greenhouses directly ahead, and flat stalled. Landed and burned literally a hundred feet off the runway. I owned at that time an identical aircraft, I practiced for hours right after, because I couldn't believe what happened, he wasn't just an ultralight pilot, he had his fixed wing rating. I shut that engine off at every portion of takeoff and pattern, landed without problem. Probably scared a few drivers and farmers locally but hey. They always say never try and turn back on climbout. I say bullshit, if you have enough altitude and have the sense to maintain plenty of airspeed to take you through a (higher stall speed) turn, why not? It was his best option. Rest in peace.
