Tangocharlie,

 

Great to hear that this turned out ok with no injuries to yourself. What caused your engine failure and what type of aircraft were you flying?

The cause of the engine failure is not certain yet I will not know until I get to the engine but a full report will be posted.

 

thanks and hope to see you around.
