Engine failure(s)

[Teller1900]

This was a rough week, had an engine failure on Sunday, then again on Monday. They were both right at V1 (the worst possible time) on climb out from Kennedy. Not to mention the emergency descent on Sunday night and the steep turns both days.









Recurrent sim training sucks!

Smart butt!

Rwcurrent sim training sucks!

No, recurrent is a lifesaver, doing it for real SUX!

 

[Greg Bockelman]

I ALMOST got sucked into that, Matt.

 

[gkainz]

Crash the sim - do it again
crash the plane - pray for no pain

I ALMOST got sucked into that, Matt.

Ditto

 

[Teller1900]

Bewahahaha

I feel your pain. Reminds me of when my two right engines failed in the 747 on climb-out from LAX. Luckily, I was able to swing things back around and land again.....



.... just after the sim instructor re-started the right two on final.

 

[Anthony]

So you just shut the other one off and land straight ahead, right?

 

[Let'sgoflying!]

I was about to post 'stop flying crap' but knew somethin' smelled fishy

 

[AWACSEng]

I knew this was odd 'cause I did not see it plastered all over the news with the headline "Hundreds of passengers nearly killed!"

Teller,
We need to talk to your sim instructor, he's letting you get by easy. Actually an engine cut just after rotation could be a lot harder (especially in a light twin like a 767), you need some of those. And some upset recoveries, going inverted inside the marker.....

No recurrent, is a livesafer, doing it for real SUX!

good one!

 

[ApacheBob]

Yes. It does suck.

Teller, you doing this in a 340 sim or a 1900 sim?

The quick-start function is great, isn't it!

Actually, sometimes on our single engine approach they'll give us a fire indication on the good engine to see if we just do the memory items (and turn into a 17,000lb glider) or actually think about what's going on.

Sad part is, that'd be the headline despite the fact that we can only carry 19 if for no other reason than eyewitness Bill-joe-jean-bob felt like him and everyone else in the terminal were in peril because they don't understand that planes can actually fly "sideways," and don't fall out of the sky when the engine quits.

I'd be happy to try, but the question is...would I get reverse sensing (we have an HSI)? What if it's on a back course? What if it's the other engine that's off????

No, recurrent is a lifesaver, doing it for real SUX!

I just got that, good one. Maybe I should suggest we practice steering with only differential power .

1900. I don't know nothin' about that crazy Swedish contraption (other than they have 23 electrical buses and something called "auto-coursen"). We use Flight Safety's sims.
