You ruined what could have been a good video when you added the music. Now we hear no engine noise, no wind noise, no instructor comments, just a video with a lot of extraneous noise. I'll rate it 1 star.

I agree. A good video ruined by the music.

Full power for long time on the good engine? Poor engine.
Rather let it descend a bit, while using less than full power, that teaches the pilot to look and plan to descend for the closest airport NOW, instead of just cruising around wearing the engines. I flew 21 minutes on the left eng. after right one threw a valve due to previous overheat by dumb CFI doing this.

@foxtrot2143 You're right. I did my training in a Seminole.. today we own a Seneca I with a STOL kit... has a procedure for a Vr engine failure and climb out. It's pretty killer... but not literally :P

The best song...lol...I always listen to 'Rocket' when I am flying too...the other one is 'Run Riot'.

got to love the SE drift down in the semi. A seneca would be nice, but if you can work on an engine failure safely in a semi on a low DA day then you can fly with the best of'm. One of the worst, if not THE worst light twins on SE performance. Oh the memories.

well put.

seminole senecca is way better twin 4 training!

I agree!!!

There is also another option, find a school closer to sea level with a better corperate safety attitude then "don't stall". Do you think the FAA will accept "we told the CFI/Sudent not to stall!" after an fatal accident? There is allways a option to fly safely which includes the option to not fly!

most do
The Seminole is sweet. Our school puts mirrors on the cowling so that we can physically see the front gear is down.

Yea this one has one of those automotive blind-spot bubble mirrors on one of the cowlings.
