Hey John, An Engine Fire is a True Emergency regardless of the possibility of extinguishing the Fire or an engine restart. How about Calling Mayday and Squawking 7700 on the Transponder before turning off the Master Switch so with a little luck ATC may get a Fix on your position and the location of the Forced Landing.
Fargot to talk about high slope cross-controlled to the right (if pilot's seat in left) in the emergency landing approach. Very useful to put away the smoke, heat and flames, from the windshield and cabin. Also it helps to descend faster
tcco94 Maybe I misread his comment, but I think what he meant was only do the checklist if you have the time. In a real emergency you might be too low or have too many other issues to deal with. In that case use of a checklist could be detrimental. That being said using a checklist if you are able to is certainly going to work in your favor. Flow, then check.
This needs a correction. You need to assume that the fire is not out until you get out of the aircraft; so get down ASAP, land ASAP, and get out of the plane ASAP.
I think for the cessna 172, the most efficient airspeed is 68 knots (If I remember correctly) where you have the maximum lift produced by wings and the least drag. So why would we want to fly at 100 knots?
Don't plan on ever becoming a pilot because you'll never pass the Private Pilot Checkride without pulling out your checklist. ESPECIALLY on the simulated engine out procedure! AND DON'T EVER think you'll come close to an airliner cockpit without a checklist. Those guys have them MEMORIZED and every flight they still read them word by word.
True :(. I failed my ppl checkride because I forgot to use checklist for engine fire -> emergency descent. Descent was good but failed because of no checklist. Sucks since everything else on the checkride went perfectly.
How does leaving mags on consume any fuel if you already killed the engine by leaning the mixture? Not being a smartass just trying to figure out his process.
freddyfreeloader1200 Because the propeller will still be spinning with the wind acting on it thus driving the pistons thus driving the magnetos thus the remaining fuel entering the engine will be burned within the engine.
If you turn off the mags, you turn off the spark plugs and would leave un-burnt fuel in the cylinders meaning a fire could continue burning even after the engine stopped. The reason we use the mixture to stop the engine is to consume all the fuel in the engine and starve a potential fire. On the ground, it also prevents the engine from starting if someone turn the propeller while the mags are on.
He seems pretty cheerful for someone who's plane is on fire. ;)
he is also simulating "staying calm" :)
Note he did say, "if time and altitude allow" its all situational, you wouldn't be going through a checklist with a engine failure below 1000feet.

What if it’s in the air😅😭😭😭
I wonder why you would limit yourself to 100kts? If it's smooth air, I'm pitching down closer to redline, not a fan of being burned alive.
@MrHondo11 if you dont cut the fuel flow, you will go kaboom way before getting close to the ground...
Excellent thx
On a C-17 the fire horn would sound and the respective light for that engine or the APU would illuminate

1) More airspeed to help put out the fire
2) To get to the ground quicker - your airplane is on fire!
68 is the best glide speed. 100 knots he’s talking about is to put the engine fire out but that speed varies in different aircraft.
Our checklist says to bank 30 and dive 20 a d spiral down at top of green arc (I think)
Love u guys

tco LMAO he has like every rating in existence, even flies a jet....

Pray?
It's part of the checklist.
Whos here in 2021?

How about fire extinguisher
How are you going to use that on the engine? Spreads to the cabin or electrical sure
you almost could from and aircoup
Im sure you can but you will lose your plane you could of saved.
