That's how you're supposed to handle one. Hell drink coffee is both on the bottom and top my Engine failure in flight checklist.[/quote]I did! Couldn't let a delicious sausage egg McMuffin go to waste! Nice long downwind, trimmed up, checklists completed, why not?
They do. I read Spirit is one of the few LCCs with which likes to order brand new planes and sell off older ones as they arrive, that way they get great sell back value on the newer planes they get rid off and it works as a fat discount on the new airplanes. Lion Air in Indonesia and Indigo in India do the same thing.I think Spirit has one of the newer fleets too don't they? Far newer than AA or Delta I'd imagine.
That and people were texting "goodbye forever" to their loved ones. One of them being a "professional pilot" according to the media.
Sounds like it was a dingle arm failure on the retro encabulator.
Or just whenever I'm flying...erm...I'm sure there are idiot passengers that do this during a go-around/missed approach too.
You know, one time when I was a gate agent, we had an SFO-SMF Brasilia have an engine failure on takeoff and return to the field. It was a full flight(well 27 so "Brasilia full"), a plane at the gate next door was sitting for several hours, so within 20 minutes all but 2 pax were back on board the new airplane and ready to go. Which 2 opted out? 2 United pilots dead-heading to SMF to pick up an Airbus and fly SMF-ORD who claimed that the engine failure freaked them out so much they would not set foot on the new plane, nor would they finish their trip. Nevermind that none of the pax or crew of the Brasilia freaked out at all and were more annoyed then anything. The SMF-ORD flight canceled as a result.And professional pilot my butt. Maybe he's a professional Flight Simulator X pilot......

I was pretty surprised when I found out. I wasn't working the flight, but as the United pilots stood yelling about this to a shift manager(who didn't think they were serious at first and was joking with them which pissed them off), pax must have heard them. A lady off the flight approached me at the customer service center and said "I'm supposed to connect in Sac to go to Chicago, but the pilots (kitty)ed out, do I get a hotel or is this an act of god?". Well, as I didn't have any of the info yet, I was taken back by this, confirmed the Skywest crew was indeed taking the new plane to SMF, and sent her on her way. Whoops.Airbus pilot: "What's it doing now?"
Brasilia pilot: "Ah [bleep], it's doing it again?"
And unsurprised.
I refused to finish my trip after my engine failure/smoke all up in hurrrr ONLY because we had to sit for 4.5 hours in the un air conditioned terminal in North Eleuthera waiting for a new airplane to come. They clearly had a reserve crew to finish it off, and I was done.ChasenSFO said:You know, one time when I was a gate agent, we had an SFO-SMF Brasilia have an engine failure on takeoff and return to the field.

Did someone overservice the oil again?I refused to finish my trip after my engine failure/smoke all up in hurrrr ONLY because we had to sit for 4.5 hours in the un air conditioned terminal in North Eleuthera waiting for a new airplane to come.

Ha!Something seems slightly off in this video--
Automatic feathering is beautiful. But not the same thing.Kill me if I ever fly something where "automatic shutdown" is a thing
And yes, I am aware that the unfortunate folk in my community already live with this cancer (coughsuperhornetcough)
