I asked my instructor about it today, asked if we could we still do it even though it is not in the TCO, said no, management is not wanting it for safety reasons
Lol, the Harvard of Aviation.

I have a decent job flying a nice airplane with a wife, dog, and new vehicles. Own a condo in Seattle and rent a nice apartment in Houston. WTF would I be "jelly" of you?Jelly that I don't have student loans?
Jelly that I don't have student loans?
That seems...inane. I mean I did full feather and inflight restarts at night with commercial multi applicants...not on their first flight in the plane but I did do it. No big deal. Something they SHOULD be able to handle if they are going to be commercial, multi engine pilots, even more so with an instrument rating. And certainly something an MEI should be able to handle.I asked my instructor about it today, asked if we could we still do it even though it is not in the TCO, said no, management is not wanting it for safety reasons
Yeah, gear ups have nothing to do with simulated engine outs at night, other than that an inadequatelh trained MEI may cause problems with both.It might have to do something with a couple of Seminole accidents (gear up) in the last month, but gear up landings are different than engine shutdown in flight practice at night. Probably just management being over reactive, every time their is an accident/incident a new rule/procedure gets put in place. They try to make training as safe as possible but sometimes they really stifle learning here with all the rules in place.
They've made additional changes to the training now too but that's more from an FAA/PTS standard with accelerated stall maneuvers for all licenses
Well, all you had to do was ask and I would have told you...I wonder what it is like to be the best pilot in the world.
Only one gear up landing, other incident was a normal landing and a brake locked up causing the airplane to depart the runway sideways, sheared off the landing gear. On the gear up landing, it happened while performing engine failure above Vr - takeoff continued procedures, and from the sounds of it the instructor was spending too much time trying to coach a student through a landing when the student was very behind the airplane, they forgot and tuned out the gear horn.
When do you guys fail engines? You said engine failure above Vr.. Is that like right off the runway then boom dead engine?
...cant do multi-engine failures at night anymore. Good thing engine failures will never happen at night, it's statistically impossible. :face palm:
Ah that's what I was wondering. Did he pull the engine just off the runway and sink down into it?
Ahhhh the (un)pleasant memories of training at Airnet in the Baron, holding over an NDB at night in a thunderstorm.....single engine. Not exaggerating one bit.
