I really like that you have cabin ambient noise on your videos. Gives it much more real feel.

[@JohnWilliamCornett]

May 1000 angels protect you and yours both in the skies and on the ground. As a long grounded pilot, I "continue" to fly vicariously through "your" videos. You remind me of why I speak so fondly of my flying years in the Pacific NW. Never leave anything to chance & ALWAYS 'double or triple check' your math! SO KEEP UP YOUR GOOD WORK DEMONSTRATING HOW TO FLY LIKE A PRO

[@bcrazyyeti]

Practicing for engine failure (in a safe manner) is always a good thing. You did it 3 times and cut your altitude loss (before recovery) about in half, which is great and builds muscle memory. But you need to redo that from time to time for it to stay fresh. Brad had good questions during the approach. Always interesting to watch these.

[@aeroedge6847]

The Discovery Channel would have a great TV series with your content... what a platform! Keep it up!

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

[@brd400]

This is definitely something every pilot needs to think about. With any plane they may be flying. And if you were at max weight and max fuel it’s even worse. Nice job guys love the stuff

[@DougieLawson]

I think that landing is one of my favourites. You're, effectively, landing on a golf course fairway in the middle of a forest. Great landing with a third of the runway left. This channel is great stuff, keep going with Brad's training videos.

Definitely pitch for 85 or more. Interesting to test and see how the Kodiac will respond if an engine failure were to occur. The PT6 engine is very reliable, but it is man made. I really enjoyed the blue ocean water, cloud surfing, the jagged lush landscape and the awesome landing. LeLe looks to be very isolated. I'm glad I don't have to hike through those mountains. Great video! Thanks Ryan and Brad.

Great vid Ryan. Love how you are ending more with a short drone shot and perfectly placed music. This one near the end shows that big mountain peak with a few clouds starting to shroud near the peak. It first shows at 29:40 then again right near the 30:00 mark. Beautiful!

Wow! Thanks for the insight, I’ll be off to the sim to practice this. You guys are a great team! Thanks for the video, love this stuff.

[@helibob2367]

You were talking about seven to 12 seconds reaction times after an engine failure. You were also saying earlier that you are going to get your helicopter license later this year. Believe me, in a helicopter you've got about one second before things become unraveled very quickly! If you've ever wondered why helicopter pilots sometimes seem a little jumpy, that's why! That also explains a lot about helicopter pilots in general! LOL!

[@WhiteHawk77]

BOOO!

[@lpdirv]

Yup, fly and instruct on both, more than two seconds and you would bleed rotor rpm in a hurry. Airplane, much more time. That being said, when the stove quits the insurance company owns it. Your only job is to reduce severity, fly it to the ground and never quit. By the way, i would much rather be in a helicopter at 500’ with an engine failure than a seized wing. Less time but better ability to reduce inertia on landing. With twins, probably the airplane but twin helicopters are not too big a deal either. Rrpm is life in Rotary and with airplanes, they don’t stall, pilots stall and spin airplanes. Always be learning.

[@brodricj3023]

It would be very unusual for an aero engine to suddenly stop producing power. You normally have some forewarning of power loss, such as oil pressure decreasing, oil temperature increasing, engine chip warning, torque oscillation, daily power trend check monitoring, etc. That applies for both aeroplanes and helicopters. The one second comment for helicopters, yeah, maybe for the flimsy helicopters with low rotor inertia. For the Bell 206 and Bell 212 etc helicopters that have high rotor inertia you have a few more seconds than that to sort yourself out, especially if you have some airspeed to play with.

[@helibob2367]

@@brodricj3023 Over a period of 50 years, I've had three helicopter engines quit on me. None of them gave me any forewarning at all.

[@helibob2367]

@@lpdirv In my experience airplane engines are less stressed and thus more reliable. But, once an engine quits, just like you, I want to be in a helicopter.

[@artswri]

Great video, great info! Keep flying... Safely!

[@mikegriffiths7487]

Seems like practicing until you get a muscle memory response could be a lifesaver. Dan Gryder will love this.

[@Ozarkprepper643]

And most Pilots do. Once the response is second nature, it's just getting familiar with how individual planes react. Like how much altitude is actually lost. My bush plane when trimmed for slow flight will self recover in a porpoising style losing very little altitude. But knowing how much altitude you lose gives you a good idea of just how low above the trees you are willing to fly. Lol Once you are familiar with a particular plane while gliding in a engine out situation you aren't going to let it stall. The exception would be if the engine quits on take off. If you haven't had enough room to build up decent air speed or altitude. Once it stalls, it's a bad day. 🤠🐂🏞️🛩️

You guys should do a full aerobatic course, the most fun ever full blown spins from 6000 to 3000 in seconds heaps of fun, not to mention the inverted flying heaps of negative lift.

This flight was more complex than most for the viewer--the loss of power issue and alternative flight plan discussion. Thanks. The terrain is both beautiful and scary.

How would you be able to find out the runway place among all those trees!! Landing on a smooth runway is different and this is totally different, but you do it so well... Stay blessed always, Ryan!

[@TakeDeadAim]

The first reaction should be to "get light in the seat" by pushing the nose over enough to unload the aircraft. Before looking at instruments, before looking for spots to land. You don't get that nose over in time it won't be long before you hear the horn...seconds. As in single digit seconds in most cases.

[@tplugnickel]

lOVE THE DRONE FOOTAGE,,

[@lucky_one2]

Great video...engine failure on takeoff has limited options...you have to practice the response to push hard (come out of the seat) to keep the plane flying. I've heard you brief landing options on takeoff should the engine quit (which is also good to have burned into your brain if the worst happens)... the unfortunate reaction for many pilots is to pull and we all know how that turns out.

[@devonsehorn9884]

I remember flying into Lele on a 206 with Randy Smyth as the pilot back when I was an MK in Hoskins. It really was the best flight I have ever been on and such a cool village!

[@Jazzahn]

Certainly a great thing to practice for any pilot. I experienced a massive power loss on climbout a few years ago at 800 feet in my Cherokee and ended up having to put it down on a disused runway crashing into a fence because I was going too fast. Thankfully everyone was ok but the Cherokee was totalled. The immediate reaction is "This isn't happening to me" and shortly after the training kicks in. It was probably 30 seconds from power loss to "landing" and I only had enough time for brief troubleshooting. Never even called mayday to the tower.

[@mattlee3044]

I had the pleasure of being addressed by the UK’s Chief Helicopter Test Pilot at a CAA Safety Briefing. He showed a slide of the Robinson 22 helicopter that I was training in. He pointed out that we had 2.2 seconds to lower the Collective from an engine fail before main rotor RPM was not recoverable. All very well when my instructor counted me into a practice engine fail … “three, two, one, engine failure …” but how long - I wondered - would it take me from a real engine fail. Would I detect the failure and have the collective lowered in 2.2 seconds? Possibly, but it changed my attitude to the R22 helicopter in an instant.

[@bernie2108]

Having had a fan failure on take off, GBOLW, at 400 feet 65 knots, nose down airspeed increased to70+ levelled off, during this declared emergency, flew downwind engine on idle maintaining level flight severe vibration. Landed on 24 with the boys in blue behind. Best flight ever, esp' as my 3rd solo! Oh and engine was 40 hours over TBO! Training is what matters, but experience counts.

Scary approach, with all those trees reaching up to grab you. Practicing engine failures is a Good Thing. Back on the old MSFS I used to take off from Meigs in a C172, pull the power at 1000 AGL, and try to make it back to the runway. I don't think I ever did. Pulling the power at 7,000 ASL (and you actually were over the sea) is much safer :-D

You ought to take some sailplane training to better get used to gliding. That's how I got used to heading for the ground to gain speed. You have to instantly change mindsets from engine flying to gliding. You can rent sailplanes from most clubs & training with a club is usually very affordable. Once you can switch mindsets from flying to gliding you'll get over the problem if heading down to gain speed when close to the ground. Gliding gives you that mindset so that you can switch in a heartbeat. Also the training how to fly thermals in a glider is great for flying powered aircraft. I got my fixed wing private pilots license first, then took up hang gliding, then sailplanes. Hang gliding gives you the most authentic flight experience.

[@mikercflyer7383]

Both of you guys really have a great channel always practicing always expecting the worst case scenario it's really really important if you put value on your life one thing I would also probably look for if I wS piloting is always look for a contingency plan over mtn and wooded area in case of engine failure if you really think about it there is a way to survive like on mtn slope for instance bleed off all air speed then with good timing start climbing the mtn right to a complete stall up hill then falling into canopy facing up hill what are your thoughts

After my hang gliding years, I got formal flight training. My pilot training was with gliders and the concept of that looks about right. On tow, the magic number was 200 feet for turning around or landing straight ahead. What I see is too much thinking about flying and not enough just flying. There's a lot to be said about seat-of-the-pants. There is nothing like just flying your aircraft. Being one with the machine.
