Airplane engine failure! Deadstick landing.

A routine training flight where we intentionally shut down the engine while we are over the airport. This gives the student "actual" emergency landing prctice and confidence to know that the plane still flies well without power. Just keep that nose down! On a 6000 foot runway the goal is to touchdown at the 4000 feet remaining mark.

Heres a quote from Kyle Franklin, describing his engine failure last year: "As I leveled out, I started to pull and the engine quit. The way it quit and the sound of it quitting, I was like, this is not good. It wasn’t a sound I’d heard before." Kyle was not ready. Are you ready for an actual engine failure?

Actually shutting down an engine and bringing it to a complete stop is an FAA requirement. It is not only allowed, it is federal law that you do it for multi engine. Why? Because the simulation is not the same thing. There is nothing illegal or unsafe about being in flight with a powerplant shut down in a single engine plane. Its the same exact powerplant that you use on the single that you use on the multi, and we do it all day long every day in multi training.

Great use of S-turns on the approach, was there any sideslip involved on the final?

@UGOT2CTHIS Yes it is required, for the multi-engine rating NOT the single. Read a PTS lately?

The poster is too real CFI for you, you are too puss to handle plane reality. I do Prop Stop landings like this but on a gradual way, no cold day (no shock cool). First a partial power fail & troubleshoot, then idle fail with FIRE DRILL which requires a total engine shutdown BY THE PILOT, not the guy on right seat. If he can't do it after a few times, he is likely to PANIC & KILL. Panicky Pilots are the root of all Aviation problems and demise of USA GA.

@UGOT2CTHIS Yeah its called you pull the power to idle and put the carb heat on... Its not illegal to pull the mixture, just dumb. If my instructor had ever done that it would have been my last flight with him.

[UGOT2CTHIS]

I am at al loss to even respond to this...

@UGOT2CTHIS in mult-engine aircraft, not single engine aircraft.

[gladanka]

@UGOT2CTHIS Just because its rare it CAN still happen...god and youre suppose to be a flight instructor?

[UGOT2CTHIS]

So what. I have flown 13,000 and I HAVE seen it. You have now helped illustrate my point very nicely. You went from "This is a rare in Sweden" to "It can happen" Having a mental conditioning that is IS going to happen on every takeoff casues you to 1)be prepared for it 2) not be shocked when it does. You are interpreting the "literal" context, instead of the concept. When you takeoff and it does NOT happen, you go on and enjoy. When you takeoff and it DOES happen, you get to live.

@UGOT2CTHIS I've never said that you should not be ready for an engine failure, of course you should be cause it can happend. But telling new pilots that engine failure is something they WILL encounter is wrong and false.

[UGOT2CTHIS]

Now the fact that you have publicly NOT been able to recognize that I was only making fun of you, and your notion, is direct indication of your level of comprehension. The point of this video is enhance safety. We train for wind shear, low IFR, missed approaches, electrical problems, instrument failures, and Loss of Thrust on Takeoff (LOTOT), etc etc All of them rare. If you carry the title of PILOT, it means that you are READY for any, and at any time. Think about it.
