  • lol any guy who says climbing 200ft/minute right above antennas and trees on one engine is 'fun', sound like the man..

  • I like that guy! A proper dude

  • Great video John. At the end you said "This is what we do to get the airplane to climb" I think that what you meant is that this is what we do for minimum sink? Min sink is the same as max climb in all part 23 planes. No one ever said anything about being able to climb. Also, we have proposed a major change to traditional multi philosophy, see attached PDF.

    This dovetails perfectly to jet/airline ops. Set power - leave it alone!

  • What he saied at the final "its exiting 200 feet per minute because...."? Sorry for the bad inglish.

  • @CGMIX150 He's saying if you were in a situation where you lost that engine right after leaving the runway, and you do the proper procedures, You be climbing 200 feet a minute, exciting enough to dodge power lines, trees, etc.

  • Very good!

  • this guys hilarious

  • at my school they say the second engine in the seminole is there to take you to the scene of the accident

  • the seminoles should have mandatory control systems (already patented) that will activate if an engine fails. its a shame FAA hasn't made that mandatory. FAA is all about lip service instead of safety.

    But yeah, proper training in multi is a must. My personal opinion is that one should not learn multi unless he wants to go professional. Single Engines are easier to glide and land in the event of engine failure.

  • @manifestgtr I heard that about the 310. Its not the plane type, but a specific plane... we had 2 seminoles where I got my multi rating, and even though they were identical, one of them climbed much better than the other one.

  • is that john mccain?

  • The jump plane at Skydive Utah (King Air 90, twin turbo prop) lost an engine a few weeks ago at 5000 feet. All but 4 people bailed out. The pilot landed the plane safely. Nobody was hurt. Great piloting!

  • i doubt they would have enough power to keep you at a constant altitude at high elevation on one engine would they? Say mountain flying for example at 14,000 ft. I'd always make sure i had enough glide distance to my nearest airport when i planned my route of flight. I would never plan a flight without good emergency airport to land at with glide distance

  • As the saying goes, the second engine is there to take you to the scene of the crash. Plus, I know for a fact that the seminole doesn't have a published double engine failure glide speed. The duchess might. Either way, without a published glide speed how can your work out a glide distance? Finally, when you would be mountain flying in a duchess. Its highly unlikely to see on at 14,000ft

  • I've logged quite a few hours in the seminole. Single Engine isn't so bad given proper training. Double is a different story but in either situation you should maintain 88kts which is vyse and stay above published min. cont. spd.. You have drift down and should know at what alt your SE. service ceiling is from your pre-flight prep. Also important to feather if you can't restart. Windmilling prop in semi causes a 20% drag penalty in a/c that loses 80% of its performance when it's SE.

  • You're absolutely right. Good emergency prep is a must. You will have some S.E. drift down which will vary depending on the performance capabilities of you're a/c and the weather and calc. single engine service ceiling. At high altitude airports like denver it is imperative that you know at which points you can abort the take off safely, climb, land on remaining runway or field. It's also important to sweep to gain a possible restart before quickly securing the eng. to maintain performance.

  • does 'dead foot' mean your left foot is actually dead? i don't think so, but it doesn't hurt to check.

  • LOL :D

  • leave the mixture untouched...I do that first...It can fix the failing engine problem....proved...

  • Leaving it untouched? I'd say make sure it's rich because you're mix ratio could be starving the engine. Should go full forward with prop and throttle on the initial failure.

  • Comment removed

  • The kings is excellent trainers, and always the best in flight training. :)

  • Excellent Class ,

    and emergency procedure !

    Good flights !!!

  • I NEED TO LEARN HOW TO FLY!! but i dont know where to start...sporty's, king, my local airport's fly school...which is the best way to go?!?! i need an experienced pilot's oppinion...king looks more fun than sporty's, but sporty's looks more informative for what i have seen here in youtube...i have no idea how my local airport's school works.......please write me anyone!

  • There is nothing wrong with learning to fly at your local airport to get your private pilot. But if you want to make it a career you'll want to go to an aviation college or a university that has aviation. I go to Ohio University for aviation they teach from 0 hrs to MEI. Great school. hope this helps a bit

  • That's not true. There is always the option of the Military, or going to schools like ATP or Flight Safety. Actually, airlines want pilots to have degrees outside of aviation.

  • Are they real strick on that ? how about fedex ,cargo ?

  • do they even make 3-blade prop duchesse's?

  • Its a beech duchess..A duke seats 6...this seats 4

  • i am from nj the company i work for its looking for pilots interested?

  • YEA,

  • ya im man

  • Guys , its a beechcraft duchess , not a duke

  • these guys are the best. They can be very helpful to pilots like me. But I only fly a Piper Cherokee right now, it's awsome, flying is the best.

  • It is a Beech Duke that he is flying. Nice airplane.

  • Erratum: The twin that John is flying is a Beechcraft 76 Duchess.

  • That is Beech Duke! Nice airplane.

  • Great Instruction, I got my Commercial Multi Engine rating.

  • congrats

  • Congrats
