About 18 months ago, I shared my catastrophic Engine experience, which included two videos about the emergency and the experience that followed over the next several hours.
Engine Failure
• Cirrus Engine Failure ...
What Happens Next?
• What Happens After An ...
The questions have continued to flow in asking what caused the engine to fail. That question is answered here.
Sharing only the facts, leaving opinions and finger pointing to others, my goal is to educate any of you interested in the cause and lessons learned.
I appreciate your comments and thank you for being part of the Passion For Flying family.

Any engine out/dead stick landing without damaging the airframe is a tremendous win! Congrats on that! I'm truly sorry for your financial loss of the engine but you handled it well. Safe flying going forward.

@newnewmee44 Agreed, glider pilots do it every time they fly, but there are a couple very important differences, one is glide ratio. A bad glider still has about double the glide distance of a clean powered plane. Another is expectation. A glider pilot is fully aware that he doesn't have power and is planning his approach accordingly. Powered aircraft rarely experience an engine out and when they do the entire flying sequence from that moment on changes drastically. A good pilot occasionally scans for possible landing sites in case of that scenario, a great pilot executes a zero damage landing when his powered aircraft suddenly becomes a dirty, brick laiden glider.

@newnewmee44 also, remember that gliders have right of way over powered airplanes. You guys don't have to extend the downwind leg because of other traffic in the pattern. Just like we clear the area when the skydive lawn darts are dropped, we do the same for gliders. I'd love some glider experience, but I doubt it would help me land the piper warrior off field by differently. The glide ratios, gross weights, cg, are all so different from airplane to glider. Plus you guys rarely land off field because you plan the wind and pressure differently than we do. And your wingspan would probably hurt field selection somewhat in more wooded areas. We can't ride a thermal up unpowered to make it back to the airport as well.

Is it really a win? Normally we would say yes, especially if you you walk away from it 👍 But I would have to guess it may be a lot easier with regards to the insurance process if the plane was written off, that way they own it and you get a payout, get to move on and have less of a headache.

In 55 years of working on engines including aircraft and indusrial marine, I have never seen or heard of a spun bearing being "caused" by bearing shift. Unless there is a major mechanical defect in the bearing tabs or the bearing support notches they fit into, it is almost impossible for the bearing to shift without substantial force or heat usually caused by lubrication failure prior to the bearing shift. If the oil passage to that bearing was tested and proven clear it would strongly suggest that there was a defect in the bearing or the bearing bore in the case. I would be very concerned if Continental suggests that a bearing in my engine could simply shift out of position at random to be the cause of such a catastrophic failure. Most of my flying is E/W across the Cascade mountains, often at night, and there is usually no off airport landing available.

Read more NTSB reports. The conclusions they make or fail to make are frequently absurd. They have a tough job, and they are overwhelmed, but poor failure analysis is killing pilots. My TSIO-550 went down because of a fatigue failure of the camshaft gear. The NTSB/FAA have reviewed dozens of these failures. This failure has killed at least 8 people. They have never found the root cause! Not because they can't; I'm certain they could've with mine; they just didn't look beyond a very deep analysis of the failed part itself. Not any of the other mating parts that, due to a defect, could've generated a cyclical load on the gear. GA engine failure analysis needs an overhaul.

If the proper torque is not applied to the through bolts at the bearing holder the bearing can indeed shift. The tabs hold it in position during assembly only. The compression of the bearing halves applied by the bolts through the crankcase hold the bearing in place. Improper torque during a cylinder removal is known to result in this failure.

What a great video. When you mention "cylinders being worked on" it brought to mind a problem that can arise when cylinders are removed and the related main bearing through studs are unloaded. Bearing clamping is lost and if someone disturbs the prop at all, it can shift. Proper practice is to install nuts/washers on the thru studs and torque them to restore bearing clamp. Another thing that comes to mind is when a bearing is breaking down like that, one of the really obvious symptoms is large amounts oil dumped out the breather as the amount of atomized oil spraying out around the bearing becomes a gusher. If the airplane has an oil separator, this can be masked of course. I was once forced down by a cylinder stud failure of a Cont O-470 in a C-180 on floats, on a remote lake in N Ontario, in 1990. It hadn't quite fully let go, but was about to by the time I landed. I was out of radio range of anybody with a VHF unless they were overhead or within 20 or 30 miles or so. I didn't want to set off the ELT. Then I noticed a contrail overhead, and made a PAN call on 121.5. Airliner responded, contacted my base for me on Unicom, and I was rescued with my two fisherman passengers that afternoon.

I disagree that your aircraft engine is "trying to tear itself apart . . . " Fuel air mixture burning in the cylinders are not explosions - they are a controlled burn which results in expanding gases. While watching a piston engine run may give the appearance for "huge" forces, reciprocating parts are balanced and designed to exceed the forces placed upon them. It is a flawed baseline of analysis that the engine is at the edge of coming apart at any point of normal operation. Air cooled gasoline engines are exceptionally reliable. The shifting of a connecting rod bearing (or crankshaft bearing) is not the root cause. The root cause is what caused the bearing to shift. It doesn't sound as though anyone ever told you, or you don't feed comfortable discussing it. Torque values of the associated main or rod caps would definitely be of relevance. Anyone who watched this video looking for what they could do to prevent this failure were left with little to no useful information.

Thanks for the comment. The statement about the engine trying to come apart was from my conversation with the Continental technician. I am sure he was speaking tongue in cheek and trying to talk at my level. Your point is valid. As for the cause of the shifted bearing, I struggled with the decision not to "go there". I am not an expert and the analysis I received was only facts, not opinions. To your point, in the end, I was not comfortable discussing it.

If you encounter a maintenance problem, always go back to the last thing you fixed. In this case, the cylinder. Mike Busch has written several good articles on the subject. When cylinders are removed, and torque is lost on the though bolts, the bearings can shift if proper procedures are not followed. Well done handling the emergency.

The locating tab on a bearing is only for locating it at installation, the crush is what holds it in place. From these pics it hard to tell why it lost it's crush but the lack of burn color on the bearing eliminates the lack of oil. So it boils down to case align bore too lose from either bad machining or incorrect torque or a crank with runout could also oil hammer the bearing enough to eat up the crush. My educated "guess" is component pre-assembly inspection fail or assembly fail. If it came out of my shop I'd be grateful that it didn't kill you & accept responsibility.

Unfortunately in many of the failures we see the rpm is 7 to 10000 rpm. Sometimes hard to analyze due to massive destruction at that rpm. However majority of the failures we see are due to detonation or lack of maintenance. Doesn’t look like that was the case here..

Your point regarding engine internal pressures is well-taken. Small point: Engines are NOT subject to "EXPLOSIONS" within the cylinders under normal operation... the air/fuel mixture burns. Detonation (pinging) is audible, undesirable, & an example of when an internal combustion engine (not internal explosion engine) is performing outside of its design parameters. I'm getting a lot out of this video. Thanks.

Someone didn’t get the thrust washer tolerances correct.

I think that you answer your own question- the engines used in planes like this are in fact archaic designs. The problem faced by plane owners these days is that general aviation is too small and thus no one can afford to design, build and certify engines that use 21st century technology. It’s probably a big reason why you see snowmobile engines adapted for aviation use these days.

There is a hint from your statement that the cylinders were worked on. For certain, if both ends of the thru bolts are not torqued during cylinder install, there is a likelihood of undertorque on the respective thru bolt. This will result in bearing shift and loss of oil pressure, followed by castastrophic engine failure. Not torquing both sides of the engine, that is the nut(s) on each end of the respective tru bolt if a recipe for this type failure.

In all my years of experience as a Engine tech Main bearings just do not move in the main bearing bore like the pics show without a reason. The locking tab grove in the case was incorrectly made or the bearing was defective.(ie bearing locking tangs made on the edge of the bearing).2 more possibiltys are crankshaft trueness(was the crank straight) or main bearing saddle alignment. All these issues point to the engine manufacturer. And finally main bearing oil clearence the bearing was to tight on the journal of the crank. I believe this one was on the engine maker Oh by the way great landing

Because there was a top overhaul 61 hours prior, some have drawn different conclusions. Still, the main purpose of the original video was to provide some optimism and confidence to pilots that trained and practiced for emergencies. The cause of the bearing shift has fallen into three "camps". Improper torque/stretch of the through bolt, improper process of removing all cylinders and/or lack of torque plates, or manufacturing defect. I defer to the experts, like yourself, to come to their own conclusions. I listen and learn from all of you guys.

This seems to me to be a very common occurrence to this day. I can't understand why? Maybe some people that work on aircraft engines can enlighten us. It is my understanding that replacing or simply removing cylinders from engine necessitates removing certain through-bolts from the case halves. This results in the possibility of the crank bearings to "float" out of their appropriate and required location. Further, there is no way to asses whether this actually occurred during any particular engine's cylinder maintenance/replacement. It's been a while since I've had to research this scenario for myself, but my question is if my assessment is accurate, why is there no better/safer method for performing this type of engine service!? Why do pilots have to play Russian roulette just to be able to get their aircraft back in the air??

Safeguards do exist for those of us that maintain these engines, a good rule of thumb is to NOT rotate the crank when the hardware is loosened for the through studs. I cringe when I see an engine with multiple cylinders removed (without using base plates), that's exactly how you spin a main bearing. Also, the nuts on the opposite side of the studs where the cylinder was replaced must be torque checked following a cylinder replacement. After all hardware is properly torqued, a torque stripe should be applied to each nut and looked at each time the cowl comes off. Make sure your maintainer knows this before allowing them to remove a cylinder.

I'm going to be lazy and cut and paste my last response to the same question from yesterday. I do appreciate you taking the time to comment and ask the question. I have answered this question over 1,000 times, so I did a poor job of telling the full story. Happy to clear it up here. First, why didn't I pull. As soon as the emergency occurred, I felt like my part of the brain that executes, rather than thinks, took over. All the things I did mirror'd what my instructor and I practiced 5 months earlier. The closest I came to making a decision was ignoring the rest of the 3-2-1 checklist and ignoring the urge to find the closest airport. In both those cases, my brain told me to move on. It was an amazing experience and taught me how wonderful our brain can be if we give it all the right data. By the way, I had trouble making analytical decisions for the next several hours. The adrenaline must've had something to do with that. I will never question a pilot's decision making in an emergency anymore. It's too easy to say what you'd do when behind a keyboard. Bottom line, the chute never was considered when my brain took over. I brief the chute on takeoff's and would use it at night, over bad terrain or populated areas, so I am OK with the chute, but need to train my brain better for enroute emergencies. Also, there are times when I would not use it. On the lake shore in Chicago. If Lake Michigan is too cold too survive and the chute would take me over the lake to my certain death, I would rather put it on a beach due a few extra percentage points on my side. The chute is not a 100% answer. If you read the Cirrus POH, it warns you the chute can kill you and should be considered if a better option does not exist. Mostly a hard surface is the preferred option. Let me know if you have any more questions.

I am an A&P IA and have a 182 with Cont 0470 which I changed all 6 cylinders on it about 50 hrs ago. I did not use torque plates but thought I would be out of the woods after 10 hrs of break in. Sounds like you have educated yourself well on this problem and how it happens. Even as a mech, it is a bit confusing when torquing all of the through bolts and cylinder head nuts. I'm curious if your cylinder change was done with the engine on wing or in a stand? I do think it is easier to allow the race to move if the engine is in situ. Mike Bush's video on it had me worried and now with yours happening after this many hours I am still worried.

As stated previously, the facts were presented, except for the torque values, as they probably created more questions than answered questions. Trying to summarize what has been written by experts and novices alike, the probable cause of the bearing shifting fell into one of three camps. Improper torque/stretch of the through bolt, improper process related to the lack of torque plates or the following of Continental procedures which limits the number of cylinders removed at ang given time, or finally, a part that became defective. What are your thoughts?

The general aviation engine manufacturers need to produce engines that will operate 3,000 hours consistently. I see and read about engines that are using designs that were outdated 20 years ago. My four cylinder engine in my work van has 400,000 miles on it, over 500 hours of idle time, and gets 100,000 miles added on it every year. Not one issue since I bought the van in 2019. I've been to 47 states, driven through the Rockies several times (6,000+ ft msl), driven in 115 degrees in the southwest and -15 in the Midwest dozens of times. This is the standard that Continental and Lycoming need to build to for every single engine that they make.

I'd be the first in line to buy it. What I understand to be the problem is the metals used in aircraft engines (need to be light for weight reasons), combined with the fact they are air cooled (water cooled also adds weight, results in an engine that must be managed correctly, keeping cylinder head temps in a relatively narrow range and to keep Internal Cylinder pressures low (and we don't have a gauge for ICP). You get my vote to figure it out. I am not an expert, so confess to be repeating what others have told me.

For example, I mentioned the recent AD for my new engine. Sitting down with the shop manager to discuss how the cylinder's would be inspected gave me confidence that things were being done by the book. If a discrepancy had come out of that conversation, it potentially would have saved my bacon, so to speak. I started watching Mike Bush videos on engine maintenance, and I talked with Continental about the concept of torque plates and how many cylinders could be removed at one time sort of thing. Similar to flying the plane, knowledge is very empowering, so I recommend pilots expand that concept to the maintenance side... even just oil changes, etc. Lots for us to learn, but makes us better and safer pilots.

Because of that, I left those off, as it would create more questions than answers. As you read the other comments here, which align with those I have talked with, there are two camps.

@dirttdude

disassembly torque values are subjective and inconclusive. Connecting rod end cap fasteners require a thread locker, many variables contribute to the adhesive strength and longevity. The heat and pressure of a oil starvation situation affects connecting rod lubrication and heat for the rods that are down stream and they are simultaneously being scoured by microscopic metal contaminants which causes heat which enlarges parts and affects torque values. Understanding the connecting rod manufacturing process also helps shed light on connecting rod cap vulnerabilities, what happened here was a 'spun bearing' high operating loads, excessive heat and lubrication failure of any kind causes bearings to spin. I'm leaning more towards lubrication failure, probably a viscosity issue from heat which could be from low quality oil, incorrect oil or low oil level.... Anyway, nice parking job, glad you're alive

It’s amazing, given the technology of the majority of aviation engines powering GA aircraft, as old as most of the technology and designs are, running up to 75% continuous power, are running reliably without catastrophic failure. There are some that tout the superior technology found in automobile engines but fail to realize that they operate typically at significantly lower continuous power and RPM, although Rotax utilizes automobile technology and run their 912 100 HP engines at continuous 5100 - 5400 RPM.

It's hard for me to accept the "natural causes" explanation on this. I work in the automotive performance aftermarket industry, and see plenty of engine failures relating to oiling and bearing issues. That's a pretty weird way for a bearing to fail, I'm not following what forces would allow a properly installed bearing to move laterally like that. There really should be no lateral load to cause the bearing to move like that and drive it into the side of the crank where it can begin to eat itself and shift so far as to block the oil feed. The breakaway torque on that #2 main cap would have been interesting to include and compare to the others. Regardless, looks like a pretty best case scenario of an engine out at low altitude. Good quick thinking, stick and rudder work, and a fair bit of luck/angels! Glad you're ok.

If you don’t or the plane has structural damage then you have a back up plan. Excellent job on executing a near perfect dead stick off field landing and double points for doing it in a cirrus.

Your comments about Cirrus pilots "buying their way out of training" is a little broad. My experience with so many pilots, is they share our commitment to safety and proficiency. I am part of a 100 member flying club and the interest in becoming better pilots is off the charts. Many of them own Cirrus' and I have relationships with a lot of Cirrus pilots outside the club. Almost without exception, they are committed to training and their skill level shows it. Of course the same could be said for my Bonanza, Archer, TBM, etc etc etc. pilots. I also think Cirrus does a great job with so much of their training. In the end, I applaud all pilots that take pride in being proficient. Interestingly, Cirrus does agree with you on one point. In the POH, they state that if a hard surface option exists, the pilot should take that over the chute, because the chute has risks. In so many other scenarios, the statistics support the use of the chute as the safer option. There are scenarios in which the Chute would be a less safe option, so its up to the pilot to think through their pull/no pull strategy on the ground, so we''re better prepared while in the air. Anyway, love the discussion. Thanks for bringing it up.

For me I feel maybe there’s just been a handful of incidents that support what I said so it left a bad taste in my mouth. It also seems that so many support pulling the chute over an off field landing. So many say oh once that engine goes out it’s the insurance Companies plane. Now I’ll be the first one to recognize, I’m saying that in the comfort of my home, not in the air with an engine failure and a chute. I also feel that part of my opinion may stem from the fear of seeing that trend continue. Of course I hade seen a few cases where the pilot opted for the chute and had plenty of options to land. I think the chutes are great and of course I’d choose to have one if I could over not having it. I just fear that more people will trend away from training because of it. Which I know has happened. But I guess it’s closed minded to say most cirrus pilots seek a chute to supplement training. I’ll work on my perspective. The most recent cirrus fatal in Tom’s River nj hit close to home. That’s the airport I use to visit my mother. She lives minutes from there. I wish I had more info on it other than a messed up go around. My guess was he was vfr. It was night and I personally wouldn’t fly in there night vfr. It’s a non lighted runway and a very dark area. Not much for good options for an off field. There’s senior communities, busy highways and pine trees. He almost flew over my mothers house on one of his patterns. No chance with chute that close to the ground. But of course I had to have my speculation and I may be right with that one. 3 failed attempts to land. Knowing that airport and area well I suspect it was inexperience. I personally would never fly in that airport vfr at night. It’s just too dark in that area. But I first chalked it up to another cirrus pilot who thought they could go buy a new state of the art plane and get their private in a few weeks and have fast mode of transportation. Sure that may be the case in some cases but as you support, it’s not the whole picture. Just that those few cases do leave such a bad taste in my mouth. But your right. At the end of the day I’m being closed minded. Like saying all middle eastern people are terrorist. I know that’s not even close to true. I appreciate you.

I went to total execution mode. I never would have guessed that. So when people said to me, "if that was me, I would've done X or Y". My thought is Maybe or Maybe Not.

I have mixed emotions obviously with the ballistic chutes but overall I am all for an added layer of safety. Just don’t think it’s to be abused or to replace anything but to add to the safety layers. Even for all the ga planes flying without a chute. Too many pilots become complacent. I think there’s training and lessons that should be learned in every flight regardless of the mission. Flight de briefs with others or self, self awareness and just always striving to learn and improve our skills and knowledge. But too many get that cert and don’t continue training and bettering themselves. I saw a video if this guy in a cirrus scud running departing I think Chicago. Blew my mind. He claimed in his title it was the scariest flight he’s ever had. Seemed like an easy ifr departure. But why people don’t go for an instrument rating especially with a plane like that just blows my mind. If everyone had to be instrument rated beyond the 3 hour min requirement for private we would save a lot more lives I think. If being current in instruments was part of regular currency for private I think more would be saved. BUT that is the pilots choice. Which I’m not one for regulation and control at all.

Yes. As mentioned elsewhere, there is a story behind the decision to work on the cylinders. Not enough space to discuss here, but we had good data to support the decision that was made and should've been a good financial move. Once the engine failed, the question was moot.

Savvy Aviation has touched on the dangers of cylinder work. My understanding of his break down is that the through bolts on the crank that attaches to opposite cylinders must treated with care and a torque plate must be used before spinning the crank. Apparently the bearings can spin or shift easily when the engine is partially disassembled. Sounds like another milk toast version of not holding the mechanic/shop responsible.

Retired aerospace engineer here; also A&P/IA. So why are aircraft engines less reliable that auto engines? Just my opinion, but I think it comes down to two things... (1) Air-cooling is just not as effective as water-cooling. A water cooled engine will generally run much cooler than an air-cooled engine. Aluminum loses strength as it gets hotter so it really benefits from being kept as cool as possible. (2) Like everything else on an airplane, weight matters so the engine is made to be as light as possible and still do the job. There isn't a lot of extra margin in the design.

Of the three opinions, two are things you can watch out for. Follow the manuracturer's process for a multi-cylinder overhaul. That usually means no more than one cylinder off at a time. And if you do, then probably use torque plates. Each manufacturer may have a different process. The other opinion expressed by the comments was an incorrect torque/stretch of the through bolt. I watched a Mike Bush video on how the bolts need to be torqued. If there is a problem with the engine, not sure how an owner can know that in advance. Hope this helps.

5:38 There are clearly visible bright spots on a parting surface around bolt holes. They are high spots polished against another crankcase half. This fact suggests that the reason is either a bent crankshaft or crankshaft bearing line. It caused bearings to move and then caused oil starvation. It's a typical bore line issue on any high-milage cars. I mean really high mileage, 500k+ KMs. And they quite often show the same signs of deformation on parting surface. Taking into account construction (alloy split case) there is nothing really special here. I'm a car guy and I just started getting into GA. As a car guy who understands something about engines, I find the fact that GA uses alloy split-case opposites just insane. There is no way to make the crankcase weaker and the cost of failure is your life. You can say they are lite, well, no. I mean no. LS3 weighs the same as IO-550 and has the same power for reduction-less use. Throw in magnetos, carb, and reduction and it will be literally bulletproof, 10 times cheaper, and x2 in power.

​@@pfflying6275 On OM651 and OM646 Benz diesels it's common to see main-cap bolt stretch on Sprinters with like 700k+ kilometers. It's a fatigue issue. In your case probably workshop overtightened bolts and they were stretched by the crankcase during a heat cycle. I don't know, just putting the ideas I would check if it was my engine. I am pleased to hear that people are open to new ideas (as new as can be called pushrod automotive engine) but unfortunately, my local regulators (EASA) are not. My first intention was to build a Cub kit plane, just as a hobby (and in parallel get a license). But initial research showed that from a legal perspective, it's practically impossible. Also, I'm watching a few European sailplane bloggers and have seen them struggle with propulsion too. Some want to swap older gliders from ICE to electric, but it seems impossible to get an airworthiness certificate even after installing factory parts from newer revisions of the same model. Need I say that they had failures of engines freshly rebuilt in certified workshops. I saw, that in the US automotive engine swaps are relatively common and there are plenty of solutions for reduction, mounting, and controls. And I like the fact that people are allowed to take their own responsibility for their lives. I wish regulators would allow for more responsibility and so more freedom for GA pilots for recreational flights, especially here in the EU.

I have answered this question so many times, I normally cut and paste the answer. It's an extremely important question that deserves an answer. What I learned and what I want all pilots to understand is that when confronted with an emergency, my brain (and I assume others will have the same experience), did not go through any kind of decision process. I am normally a compare/contrast decision maker. In this case, my brain tossed aside that very comfortable space I normally operate in and instead, put me into an execution mode. I hypothesize the brain recalled my engine out training from about 5 months earlier. Each step clearly came to me and my execution was relatively spot on. I found it difficult to make decisions for the next few hours too. It was so darn interesting (and comforting) to see the power of the brain to help us. The chute would've been an excellent choice, so I need to consider why my execution brain didn't go right to the chute. I know there are situations where the chute will have a worse outcome, but over farm fields, this was a pretty safe choice.to deploy the chute. Landing into the strong wind and a slightly soft field were key factors in the successful outcome. My point to all of us, is to study, train, and practice these things, because when the poop hits the fan, your decision making brain may not be there, but your execution brain will perform awesomely for you. We as pilots just need to make sure we can execute what we learned. Thanks for asking the question. Wishing you blue skies and safe skies.

Back in the late 70's I spun a rod bearing on a Yamaha XS750 triple. I was at high (max) RPM when the bearing road over its other half. I found out the engine design had poor oil flow to that bearing and was not the only one to have such a failure. I had to replace the crankshaft because it got bent. I would guess the spun bearing was in a high friction state that caused it to spin but that is just a guess. The migration of the main #2 bearing must had to spin to shift lateral to the rear and eat away at the exposed shells? Elongation of the shell tang pocket on the cases is odd. As the bearing shells move to the rear the tang cavity slot on the cases had somewhere the case material had a place to flow to while it spun. The bearing tang must had be flatten so as not to protrude much after going around many times if not in one revolution. The main spinning cutting off the flow to the rod bearing. I know the main case bolts need to be new when building an engine. The Cadmium is a lubricant to achieve proper torque values.

Were the rod bolts properly torqued? Did the bolts stretch?

They could make one design for an aircraft, and it may have to be water cooled and solid State magnetos. They have used water cooled back in World War I and it would just seem a lot more economical for the manufacture, as well as the owner when it comes time to rebuild, replace or upgrade these type of engines. if you think about the Subaru or the Volkswagen engine with the opposing four removable jugs, they didn’t last too long.
