Engine Failure with Video and Narrative
Posted: Thu Aug 18, 2022 7:06 am
Hi All:
Couldn't decide whether to post in "General" or "Safety" but decided to post here.
This is a great little video of a gentleman who suffers a catastrophic engine failure in a Cessna 205 en route at about 9000 feet.
At that point he's a glider with a lot of decisions and not much time.
The quote at 4'20" is priceless: "Alright Kev, don't F**** this up, we do this (all the time)".
How ATC and the pilot work together to get on the ground is a great example of ADM (Aeronautical Decision Making) and teamwork.
Even better, he has a GoPro behind the pilot's seat and it's running the entire time so we get a visual of what the pilot sees as well as the audio from both the pilot and ATC.
