how much does it cost to get a multi engine license. I have always wanted to fly. Is a Cessna 337 worth buying. What would be a good price for one. Is buying the pressurized version worth the money. What it is the performance like, like range and that.
Its more to do with managing two engines vs controlling the airplane. The only reason multiengine ratings are required is because of the adverse yaw caused by a failed engine.
Nice vid. Do you someone named Matt Cook? He claims to have flown this plane with you in it. He claims that he flew it in the left seat, then switched seats with the person in back seat to .
I know this question sounds strange, but I have reason to ask. LOL. Thanks mate!
@Apollo580 No centerline thrust rating, It's a multi engine. However there is a gray area as to whether or not if you got rated for multi in this A/C if it would crossover to the non-inline thrust.
@Apollo580 If you take your multi-engine checkride in a Skymaster, you'll have only demonstrated your ability to handle an aircraft that has centerline thrust. Your license should be restricted to Centerline Thrust only. You would have to take a checkride in a conventional twin to remove that limitation. If you take your multi-engine checkride in a conventional twin, you don't get the centerline thrust restriction.
Cessna is smart and wouldn't be that stupid is why. For example have you ever heard of Adams Aircraft Company? They made the A500 that was to be later offered as a turboprop too. How did they fair? Out of business and looking for investors. Maybe you could spare them some change to open their doors again.
Oh yeah, I've flown the Mix-Master (aka Shake&Bake) in Pressurized and Un-Pressurized examples. I wouldn't buy one and it wouldn't look any better with G1000 either.
Quote: "Even though it would be illogical for many reason." and " Any of the problems/failures associated with the C337 and P337 would definitely be addressed and corrected. 10 fold."
Thank you for pointing out that you are "irrational" and that you are "confused" about the business of aviation.
The Skymaster is a center line thrust aircraft, meaning there is no critical engine. A multi engine rating can be earned in this, but will be limited to center thrust type aircaft. You can not fly a conventional multi with that rating. The skymaster is great, but get rating in a convetional twin so you are not limited.
That is the ugliest aircraft I have ever seen! Anyway, I don't think anyone should be allowed to get a multi engine rating in this aircraft, because 95 percent of the multi engine aircraft you could fly would be conventional.
i'm going to get my multi engine licence in a cessna skymaster....someone who has more than 8000 hours told me that this kinds of planes are almost the same as other multi engine aircrafts.
Whatever you do, don't bother getting your Multi-engine rating in a Skymaster or you'll be limited to flying just these types of twins. A conventional twin (i.e. a real twin) is your best bet. It would be about as pointless as getting a CDL in an automatic and being restricted from driving a stick (i.e. a real truck).
What I mean is that on a normal twin, with engines on either side of the fuselage, in the event of an engine failure you get asymmetrical thrust and the aircraft becomes a lot trickier to handle whereas on the Skymaster, having both engines in line with each other, this is not an issue and the plane is easier to fly on 1 engine. It is however more dangerous because it's more difficult to tell if one of your engines has failed and that is why aircraft of this type are few and far between.
The person that stated that you can barely keep a skymaster in the air on one engine with 2 people and light fuel has never flown a skymaster. I have owned (3) 337g's 2 piper aztecs an E-55 baron and a 1942 Beech AT-11. Out of those twins the skymaster is the most fun to fly. I have feathered a prop with 4 people and full fuel and could still climb 400 feet per minute. This isn't hearsay this is actual experience. 1000 Plus hours in 337's. It is a wonderful airplane.
I think they meant the Republic SeaBee...takes off at 80, flies at 80, stalls at 80, lands at 80. That's what all the jawjackers at KAWO say, anyway. ;-)
having owned several Cessnas..among them 152/172/210/337 and currently a 310R..i'd say the 337 flies more like the 210..to say its a large 172 is kind of a stretch..apples and oranges etc..although all high wing Cessnas share some common traits
Contb.. Then when I descended to the airport (TMB) the front engine quit and I hit the pumps and seconds later the rear one went. Mayday,bla bla bla. I was able to restart the rear engine and climd to 1,300 feet on one until I landed. I got as low as 400.
Hi. This was an older model which I had just purchased and didn't have the AD yet. corrosion made holes in the tank filler (newer ones are flushed). Left on pouring rain and thought that the fuel was ok but had lots of water.
The only twin I ever lost both engines on was a push-pull over the Everglades (Florida) at night time. I was able to restart on which took me home. Water contamination in the fuel.
your comment implies that all Cessna aircraft feed from both tanks to the engine(s) at the same time. I have never flown a 337 and i dont know what the fuel system is like. But I have a lot of time flying 100, 200, 300 series Cessna's and not all of them feed the 2 tanks to the engine(s) the 210 has a both position on the fuel selector and that both is actually off, otherewise the selections are Left or Right. same as 206. 310 you can feed main or aux on that side to the engine or xfeed
I saw on someone one else's comments that you're in the Air Force. I went to tech school at, and flew out of, Pensacola (near your tech school location). Nice videos, by the way!
Skymaster is a very Unique plane. If one engine fails on take off can you still make a safe climb? Our would the other engine take you to the crash site like on other, wing mounted twins.
My father had a 1965 337B, he always said if you lost an engine you'd prefer it be the front one (except in the winter - that's where you get your heat). Like any light twin in engine out if you have just the pilot and perhaps one passenger, and not a full fuel load you can keep it in the air, but just barely. You don't have to worry about Vmc of course since its CLT.
Lets just say a lot faster, more checklists of course, and more guages to pay attention to. But really its just a twin engine 172. The panel is also bigger.
For your information, you dont need a multi-engine Lic. to fly an C- 337 Sky master.
thanks, my regards
