derekliston Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Just for the Jabiru naysayers. See, any make of engine can stop in flight! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farri Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Only a fool would believe their engine would never fail, regardless of make! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thruster88 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 A great job by the pilot, shows what can be done when the aircraft is flown under control to the end. 52 knot full flap stall speed in the A36. Hope this 40year old plane gets to fly another day. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly_tornado Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Just for the Jabiru naysayers. See, any make of engine can stop in flight! lycomings failing after 20 years versus Jabirus dropping valves at 500 hours isn't a fair comparison 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnewbery Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Hands up all those people jumping to conclusions about the circumstances immediately before the incident and the root cause? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketShip Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 20 years? really? So you know the aircrafts history to be able to say that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekliston Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Just to stress that you should always fly as if the engine might fail regardless of the make you fly behind. Not super familiar with Beechcraft but don’t they have a 6 cylinder Continental? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekliston Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 There is a posted radio conversation on BFDU between ATC and pilot, so not jumping to any conclusions. Pilot quite calmly states his engine problem and that he can’t make it back to the airport! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w3stie Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Sounds like the pilot managed to communicate very well considering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 The A36 is a nice plane but not particularly slow if you are chucking it around deadstick. It doesn't have flaps like a C-180/182 /185. Strong built too. Later versions of that engine used "cast " rockers. which have a bit of a record for failing. Be interesting to see what the failure was caused by. Much comment in that area is a bit pointless till you know. Nev 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facthunter Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Fly the plane as far into the crash as you can. ie Don't lose control of it in the air. Think about how scary it was" afterwards". Nev 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Litespeed Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 No Phil, its what happens when strapped in the seat and you decide not to keep flying the aircraft. It is because no matter how much you try, you can not kiss your are goodbye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
