My grandfather once said: "It's better to be five minutes later in this world, than five minutes earlier to the next". He meant that in relation to driving and speeding, but I say that to myself all the time - sometimes it's just better to take a minute, and work out a problem whilst you're still around to do something about it.

Stefan - great decision to abort your takeoff...why take a problem into the air when its a lot less stressful to sort out the problem on the ground. When I did my first training in the Cirrus simulator at Cirrus AVIA I noted that the airspeed was dead, so I aborted the take off. Charles the trainer said its amazing how many people take off with a dead airspeed indicator in his sim sessions. Safe Flying - Robin

Incredibly helpful Stefan. I just did the same thing in my Cirrus, only in my case it was the manifold pressure that popped into the yellow. I aborted the takeoff on Friday Harbor Island (Washington State USA). My mechanic told me something similar; essentially that the engines was still warming up due to colder weather. I flew the rest of the afternoon with a few more take offs - no issues with a warm engine. I am a rusty pilot getting back into flying after 25 years and new to the Cirrus, very challenging moment indeed. Thank you so much for your fantastic videos.

Loved that you covered this topic, and the significant importance of making that decision. One could only imagine the problems you may have encountered, had you had an oil failure only 10-20 seconds or more after takeoff, had you simply ignored the high oil pressure and said 'Nah, she'll be right'. Always better to take the safest option and check things out whilst on the ground. Thanks for sharing!

Great educational video! I aborted a take off recently as well: My CFI and I decided to do a short field take off at a runway intersection. We had plenty of room, but, as we accelerated down, those trees at the end got too close (and tall) for my liking. I simply cut the power, and although my CFI was surprised at my action, I just told him "I'm aborting" and stuck with it. What I learned is that when you make a critical decision like this, for God's sake dont change your mind again; those few seconds I cut the power used up too much runway for us to probably make it. And although we could totally have made it and flown off happily initially, it just didnt seem right to me. Maybe because of a lack of experience, but as you said, when in doubt, there's no doubt!

Excellent. I aborted a couple years ago due to a dead mag - took me 4-5 seconds to call it off, thinking the mixture was too rich?? A good friend and very experienced pilot later gave me his advice, in that he's always looking for a reason NOT to take-off during the take-off phase. Events like this are rare, but we have to be ready for them. Thanks for posting - this one is great viewing for the ab-initios especially.
@adb0126 жыл бұрын
Exactly. My mental take-off briefings are "We are going to accelerate down the runway and abort because we will have an issue, except that if we don't we'll rotate at 60 and climb out at 70 when the engine will fail so we are going to land straight ahead and brake as much as possible before the end of the runway, but if it happens to fail a bit later we are going to land basically ahead with small left or right turns to put it down in the best place we can find so as we don't kill anybody ideally including ourselves, unless the engine fails when we are above 600 AGL that we may elect to return to the runway, and if it didn't fail by then we will perform the after take-off check list and head South. I don't say it that way because it would take too long, but that's the mindset: Work hard so nothing bad happens (flight planning, W&B, performance check, pre-flight, use of checklists, follow procedures, etc) but always assume that the worst will happen.

Good video Stefan. One additional self call I make as I taxi to runway hold point is after checking T&P's "if engine fails on takeoff...I'll control (yoke, stick forward)" and actually push it forward. Muscle memory will kick-in and save your bacon should it happen. This in a situation where you have an engine event with either runway remaining or not. The instinct is to pull back out of fear where in fact pushing forward will maintain airspeed.

Hi Stefan, rewatched this one tonight - your comment to contact maintenance made me smile. Don’t get me wrong, very sound thinking and I liked the way you shut down and took a breather. I was remembering a 2014 event where we rejected a takeoff in a 777 (I was the “spare” captain in the jump seat for a longhaul to OZ). As the power went though 60% N1 a config warning went off (it’s REALLY loud)m I think 2 or 3 of us had a silent grin to ourselves after the initial startle because we assumed Old Mate was still turning on the tiller when he gunned the engines and triggered the “CONFIG MAIN GEAR STEERING” (I’ve done it a couple of times 😬😁). A second later we all spotted that it was, in fact, a “CONFIG SPOILERS”, meaning they were sensed not down when they should have been for takeoff. The handle was down and everything appeared correct but the warning wouldn’t go away -what can you do? Same as you, idle the engines (just below the 85kts ground speed that would have jammed on maximum autobrake) and rolled off at the next exit. Now here’s why I’m smiling - I called engineering while the two in the front were dealing with other stuff - engineering had a look at the telemetry and said……… “I don’t know, just try it again”! So we did, never heard another peep out of it.

My first and most relevant take off abort was in a Piper Aztec that I was flying to Lord Howe Island with some friends for a few days. Somewhere between the run ups and the take off roll the prop pitch cable for the right engine jammed (frayed in the cable guide) and it never went back to full fine for the take off. So as I looked for full power being developed by both engines the right was under reading. I closed the throttles and as you did rolled through to the runway end at Archerfield. It couldn't be repaired in time for our accommodation bookings so I put everyone into a C-182 and did the trip in that. I'm very lucky it didn't happen en rout or past the point of no return as there are no maintenance services on Lord Howe and getting a new cable over there wold have been a nightmare. Plus I wouldn't have been able to feather the engine if there was an issue. Three adults, one child and a raft. And a shit load of water. Great flight though. I'd add that to your trip bucket list for a great video if I were you.

Thanks for the advice! CPL student here, and I found it very useful. I had a similar issue today - oil pressure was borderline yellow on run-ups, so I decided to see how it went on takeoff, and abort if necessary. Oil pressure went up to mid-yellow area on takeoff roll, so I aborted takeoff without hesitation. Went back to the flying school, and after inspection by an instructor, the aircraft is now off for maintenance.

Nice video thanks for sharing. Not sure if I’m a fan of your scan flow however. Bear with me here. On the G-1000 I don’t do a run up until the engine oil temp is as per POH you have to click through a few pages to read the actual oil temp. Just using the green section of the gauge is vague, and using cylinder temps is not as accurate as your cylinders may be warm but the oil is not. Thick cold oil will result in (slightly) lower performance not to mention not good for the engine to request full power when cold. Some instructors go off cylinder temps before conducting the run ups, but If the oil is not warm, the entire bottom of the engine is not warm. In the critical seconds of takeoff - I’m taught to check static rpm first, (there’s no point TRYING to take off if your not producing takeoff power) then I’m taught to check T and P. Once again, your engine performance is more important then airspeed at this point. THEN check airspeed last. (Not to mention if there’s a problem with ASI it doesn’t take precious seconds to interpret an airspeed reading as it does with T and P’s) On our aircraft the airspeed takes a few seconds to register. Although I’m absolutely no expert, I feel like this is a better priority sequence to work through. If you have performance, airspeed will follow. In your case, you have airspeed, you might not have 100% performance. Tick tock. Your already going much faster to start diagnosing an engine problem. Thoughts?

Great vid as usual Stef. I aborted a takeoff recently in a 172 that I hadn’t flown in ages. Strip around 1000m, trees at the end, I noticed that it wasn’t making full power RPM. Pulled throttle back and aborted. It turned out after talking with someone on the field that it had been fitted with a cruise prop and so full power indicated an RPM at the very bottom of the green! So all fine in the end but I didn’t regret my decision for a minute. Also, something to remember if you abort...assuming you are still on the ground, keep that yoke ALL the way back for max aerodynamic braking effect.
@StefanDrury6 жыл бұрын
Thanks for sharing that, sound like a similar situation to mine in that the aircraft COULD have taken off safely but the decision to abort was still the right one, because you weren't sure. And on the yoke, I was getting close to rotation speed when I aborted so didn't want to pull full back stick in case that actually lifted the wheels up and lost me brake authority. As there was a lot of runway in front of me, instead I let the aircraft roll out to lose the airspeed. Possibly could have applied some back pressure as I slowed, but as I said, plenty of runway. Thanks for the feedback AusPilot, stef 👍

You made the best choice! However, and I may be wrong, in the video the CAPS handle was covered, and regarding the stripe that can be seen coming out from beneath the cover, I would say that the lock pin was also inserted. This can be really dangerous as in the event of an engine failure just after departure just at 400ft (minimum CAPS deployment height) would make you lose vital seconds which can save your life. Safe flights!

@aviatortrevor6 жыл бұрын
I don't fly glass usually, and the airspeed indicator in the C172s and PA28s I fly take a while to start moving, so I reverse the order of the call outs. I advance power to full for takeoff, call out "engine in the green" or "engines in the green", and then "airspeed alive." By the time the airspeed is actually alive, it's only 3-4 seconds more until I've reached Vr, so I don't have much time to check for gauges being green at that point. So, that's why I reverse the order of the callouts. But if your airspeed shows movement early in the takeoff roll, I see no issue with doing it in the order you do it. Perhaps another reason why I might advocate for reversing the order is that if you check for airspeed alive after the engine check and you see the airspeed isn't moving, that may cue you that there is something wrong with the airspeed indicator or pitot as opposed to assuming the airspeed just hasn't had enough speed to register on the gauge. Also, given that your reaction time to the engine was delayed, maybe checking engine gauges at the beginning would give you more time to make that processing of the info.

On shorter runways I pick a decision point. In the bonanza it is usually 1000' of runway left. This could vary if there is a runoff. If something isn't right after that point, I'm flying the airplane. Something like a door popping open shouldn't total your airplane in the fence at the end.

Just after that you should be going fast enough to get airspeed so my next call is "airspeed alive by two" because I'm checking that not only both airspeed indicators (PFD and backup) are moving but are ballpark the same reading. I borrowed that from the airliners where in a 737 the monitoring pilot will call 80 knots at which point the other pilot checks their airspeed and the backup to ensure they also show just over 80. My only minor technical point (again shamelessly stolen from airline operations) would be that I'd try to make a simple "stopping" call to ATC. That way if they are planning on landing someone right behind you they can send them around etc. No details are actually needed, just "Kilo Juliet November is stopping" then once you are all sorted and at a safe speed you can then follow up with "minor engine issue, request taxi back to the run-up bay" or whatever you want or if you have something more serious you can call for the cavalry.

Great call there. I’m yet to abort a take off myself but I did Taxi back to the parking area to check the breaks when one felt a little looser than usual. It was fine but anything out of the ordinary is worth having a second look at.

All aircraft engines have a minimum oil temperature prior to applying full power. Mine (F35 Bonanza) is 100F. Pretty hard to get in the winter, I have sat for 20 minutes waiting on it.

Thank you for welcoming me, I really like aviation in whole, planes, drones. I would like to learn! but my math is not my strong suit, a simulation game just seems a bit redundant (any tip?). Maybe you can do a video about how you started or tip guide how to start? Thank you for providing me interesting and engaging content in these times. Peace.

Hey Stefan, great video. Does the SR22 have an oil temp gauge to let you know when the oil is warm. If so did you have the oil temp at the recommended temp?
@StefanDrury6 жыл бұрын
Thanks Andy, yep there's an oil temp reading on the engine page. A little hard to see, but it's the one to the left of the oil pressure gauge that I highlighted in the video. Oil temp was within limits at the time of takeoff.

Good call ...is a good call. Calling maintenance another good call. Intriguing that a detail like a larger oil tank could create a "glitch" like that ... and even more the fact aircraft familiarization is LITERAL ... EVERY aircraft requires familiarization . Lesson learnt. thanks for the post,

I like how long your take to callout "temps and pressures in the green" on the second takeoff, understandable though ! Made me realize I don't look well enough to my gauges on takeoff, so I'll make sure to change that !
