Just for the Jabiru naysayers. See, any make of engine can stop in flight!

 

 

[farri]

Only a fool would believe their engine would never fail, regardless of make!

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.

lycomings failing after 20 years versus Jabirus dropping valves at 500 hours isn't a fair comparison 

 

 

[mnewbery]

Hands up all those people jumping to conclusions about the circumstances immediately before the incident and the root cause?

 

 

[RocketShip]

20 years? really? So you know the aircrafts history to be able to say that? 

 

 

[derekliston]

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?

 

 

[derekliston]

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!

This may work.

Sounds like the pilot managed to communicate very well considering.

 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

Damn that is a good parking job

 

Just needs a buff and polish.

Looking at the tree damage It went like this one except it only yawed 90 degrees

Hope he is Ok. Must be scary watching those houses and trees coming towards you with no other options.

 

 

[facthunter]

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

 

 

[Litespeed]

Well said Nev.

 

Aviate, Aviate, Aviate.. .......stare at your bellybutton after you get out if the aircraft.

 

 

[Phil Perry]

And to think I always believed that Navel Gazing was something to do with Military Sailors. . . .

 

 

[Litespeed]

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.

 Unless you use a bit of Poetic licence.  Nev
