DA 42 NG Demonstration Engine Failure during Take-off

[lindertjan]

Centerline!!! :-)

To all Armchair/simpilots and pedestrians!

In the certification requirements a maximum lateral deviation from the centreline must not exceed 30 feet! so either they begin their test run left or right of the center line, IT IS JUST TO INCREASE THE SAFETY MARGIN and not to fake the results.

@420flytime u realize not everything is a sim right? like there are real airplanes

[420FLYTIME]

what sim is that.it looks cool

who take off not on centerline unless they're in an airshow and in formation? come on

[lsh2429516]

@Scote1992 The pilot had to do that because when he/she shuts off one side of the engine, a/c will initially turn to the left and therefore move left of the runway. It would better to be stay on the runway than to go off the runway.

[Scote1992]

@lsh2429516 i say that isn't a good demonstration then. you won't be on the side of the runway in real life, make it as realistic as possible. and since they knew the reaction, a pilot can compensate easily

@Scote1992 yeah and not everyone gets to take off of runways THIS long....

[wrh61]

nice examples if I have tons of runway ahead to abort . also the 'hedging' to the starboard engine on runway line up is kinda cheating , athough that's what initially what I would do ; but this isn't a realworld test.

As every good pilots takes off on the centerline. Could you show the same video but starting ON THE CENTERLINE !!!

Otherwise the test is bullshit !

@Vidstobewatched If you dont have enough information, you better shut your mouth and get a life before saying BS!

Very Nice handling :)

I was under the impression though that DA42's had a speed range around the rotate point to gear up that if you had an engine fail it was almost impossible to control? Just what i've heard though... quite obviously not true!

Nice video, one question:

What is the pourpose of the video? Whatdo you want to demostrate?

Regards.
