I watched that display in person. It was very impressive, and the engines were nearly silent throughout, which was even more impressive and eerie. The wing isn’t under much load in that turn, though - they weren’t pulling on the elevators and you see the nose yaw towards the ground fairly swiftly in the few seconds it is heavily banked. It is actually part of the manoeuvre to recover from very high nose attitude in “upset recoveries”.

Every airliner must demonstrate the ability to lose one engine at ANY time and stop or land safely. On takeoff below V1 you stop, after V1 you lift off and return to land, in cruise you divert to an alternate airport. Losing one engine will never cause a crash.

[@Lorenzo-fm6wp]

Same thing i was watching the rudder and the way it levels the plane. By the rudder movment this is a right engine failure , as i know you kick the live engine with the rudder for counter the torque

[@garykinzie3307]

As an airline pilot, we practiced annually in the simulator. I’ve actually landed with one engine due to an engine failed of the left engine. You want your pilots to be able to do this. You never know when something will happen to cause an engine failure, even half way down the runway. The FAA requires airplanes to be able to takeoff if the engine fails after a go/no go speed. This is calculated for every single flight for commercial airplanes carrying passengers.

[@timothyharrison8953]

The part you're probably missing if this is a certification for single in takeoff is the A350 is at maximum takeoff weight. The other thing is for this test the port engine is at idle, not shutdown. I have witnessed(archive video) a test aircraft performing this test where the pilot who was responsible for the return to idle part, also hit the run switch to off. It all went well, but there is a lot of drag when an engine's internals aren't being helped internally.

[@georgeconway4360]

Not sure what you are talking about. What is a single in takeoff? The port engine is at idle. Where during the takeoff does the engine run at idle? Where on the takeoff would an engine be OFF? What is a run switch on an a jet airplane? What does this run switch control? What happens when this run switch is hit to OFF? What is the difference between a engine at idle and one at OFF?

@@georgeconway4360The engine is pulled to idle at V1 (takeoff decision speed) The aircraft must continue to accelerate to Vr (rotation speed),The performance standard in that situation is that the aircraft clears the “fence” at the far end of the runway by 35 feet. It then must continue to accelerate to V2 (engine out initial climb speed) then resume the climb to a safe altitude to accelerate more and retract flaps. Landing gear should be retracted when a positive rate of climb is confirmed.

What on earth happened to the GoAir did it touch down after the runway? What was all that shaking in the cabin? I would’ve been absolutely terrified!!

[@EleanorPeterson]

Hi, Ben! 🙂 The plane touched down too far left of the runway in the fog and ran on the grass/dirt for a few yards (causing the bumps and vibration) before the pilot saw enough to realise what had happened. The TOGA (go around) procedure is one of the most frequently practised drills, so this went as expected. All planes are set up so that they can respond quickly to an incident just like this - the engines give maximum thrust and the flaps are already at a suitable angle for a safe climb out. It's shocking for the passengers, but not desperately serious. The pilot would have to log the incident and probably request that an engineer check the left landing gear and tyres were still 100% operational immediately after the next landing (the exact procedure depends on the airline).

[@armorer94]

Misleading title, as the attempt was performed during flight testing a new aircraft.

[@albertsmedley3636]

Pilots don't "attempt" to takeoff on one engine. By regulation airliners are required to be designed to be able to takeoff if there is an engine failure on takeoff. If an engine fails below V1, a decision speed, they must be able to stop in the remaining runway. If the engine fails above that airspeed, they must be able to takeoff and clear any obstacles in their flight path. You can rest assured that when you are on an airliner, that airplane will be able to fly on one engine during any portion of that flight. Single engine operations are probable the most time consuming problem practiced by aircrews in their recurring training programs.
