You state at the 4:08 mark that we need to get it down as quick as possible to anticipate a possible engine failure. Your engine is already dead because you shut off the fuel to it because you have an engine fire.
2:30 leave the wing root vents open if you prefer, but definitely close the firewall air vent. For an engine fire that vent isn’t feeding the fire, it’s preventing the fire from visiting YOU.
One of many advantages of jet engines over nose props
what, they don't put turbines on the nose?
@@ltlwalt yes but that's not a jet. turboprop is worst of both worlds and should not exist. jet price, single engine vulnerability and colonial ugliness and noise
Obviously Dan knows nothing about airplanes, but he thinks he’s an expert. Any engine can have a fire, but it is very rare in any airplane. And turboprop engines are very safe and quiet. Your car is more likely to have an engine fire than any airplane.
@@seapilot2 it would seem you think you are more of an expert than me. I seem to recall Mike Patey having an exploding turboprop engine recently and oil creeping over the windshield and fearing for his life. I don't recall similar with a jet. Saying I know nothing about airplanes might be slightly overconfident on your part.
Why stop at 100 kn. If the flame is still going would a steeper angle and higher speed work better? I have an old Comanche that doesn’t talk about a target speed like that. I would consider a steeper angle to redline the airframe.
Steep spiral?
