First (Real) Engine Failure Yesterday

Good job! Don't forget to do the requisit body weight in paperwork...

B,

Seriously between the company incident report and ASRS form my fingers were cramping.

When I had my failure the faa was calling my cell within a half an hour.. Black helicopters!

Hey you sure you weren't doing fuel integrity check in flight?

Had one a couple weeks ago in the 1900. It's weird looking out the window and seeing the thing not turning fast, isn't it?

Very sure. I leave that kind of stuff to test pilots and mechanics. ;-)

Especially with a turboprop the actual emergency wasn't the tricky part; it was landing and keeping it on centerline from the asymmetric thrust and beta produced from the good engine.

We were lucky enough to have a fairly long runway, no beta for me. The 1900 flies great with one engine!

GOOD JOB!

I actually finished my Egg McMuffin on downwind during my engine failure in the mad dog!

Derg, so it was the Egg McMuffin of single engine landings???

The only thing I found a bit tricky about the entire ordeal was getting it slowed down because of the lack of drag from prop.

I still can't believe you know Brian....

 

[KLB]

For sure! He's one of my good buddies. I met him almost excactly 12 years ago at freshman orientation!

Well done!!!

Great reading stuff like this, especially as I get ready to start my Multi CMEL. Thanks for sharing. Glad you got her down safe.
