We heard this live and his last “F*ck” followed by no comms scared the hell out of us. There have been far to many cases where hearing that or similar phrases from pilots was followed by tragedy. We all teared up when other aircraft reported him out and safe. I’ve not yet seen a preliminary cause but whether he caused the failure or not, once the sequence began he performed great and both he and his school should be very proud of his performance in a worst case scenario.

I attend a flight school in Savannah (not the same one) and from what I heard, he forgot to switch fuel tanks and while making the 360, he starved the engine of fuel. I bet that is a mistake that he won't make again and great job staying calm and aviating on his part!

Speaking of scary phrases, 35 years ago captain Pawlaczyk struggled for more than a half hour to keep control over his burning and disintegrating Il-62M with 183 souls on board. Despite of major problems with basicly everything, he and the crew somehow kept the thing flying towards the airport. It was nearly impossible to land it and they knew it, but they had to try. When they were just few miles from the airport, the traffic control recorded last trasmission from the captain: "good night, goodbye! Bye, we're dying!" and the aircraft plunged into the trees.

Similarly (and note, I wouldn't necessarily want a Pilot Flying to do this, but it'd certainly be an option for anyone else in the plane) there are mobile apps that essentially just show the raw info that the phone's/tablet's GPS chip is picking up and calculating, including lat/long. The specific app I'm familiar with is GPS Status on Android; may also be available for iOS, not sure, if not there's probably something similar. It has functions for copying current location to clipboard, sending current location with the device's generic "share" function, saving current location to an internal bookmark-style list, and worst case you could just save a screenshot.

Wow. I was worried about the student with the workload, but he handled it well. I then got scared of the two planes at nearly the same altitude circling the downed plane, but everyone communicated. I don’t fault the controller, but I think a review of the events would prove beneficial. I’d love to know the cause of the engine failure. I have a few theories. I hope it doesn’t discourage the student from continuing his training.

Hindsight, but I do feel the controller delayed the student pilot, when one of the other aircraft should have done a 360 instead. I get that the student pilot doesn't get any kind of preferred routing, but I felt bad for the guy...it's like "wait, another aircraft is approaching, let's extend your downwind or do a 360 and let them in front of you"

They had visual on each other and went on diverging headings. With Cessnas it is not really a problem. ATC still had 2LM land for safety reasons (the right thing to do), but there was no immediate danger.

When in cruise an engine failure hardly scares me. Once you get the plane stabilized and as long as you stay focused you’re more than likely going to survive and possibly even save the plane, but when flying low, as fun as it may be, it’s terrifying. You don’t have much time to think and that little time cuts in half if you panic. This kid stayed calm despite being scared, and made the difference. They should nickname him Sully for landing in the river lol!

I've been in a busy pattern at class D airport and have been put on a really long downwind, basically to the edge of the airspace. I've always thought it best to ask for higher in those situations. 1000 agl way out from the runway over urban areas is kind of unsettling.
@stevenzucchi
@stevenzucchi 2 жыл бұрын
ask for it! It's not fair for a controller to put you in a dangerous situation if it's preventable. Multi-engine aircraft fly their patterns at 1500 agl. Class D usually own up to 2000ft agl.

@@ahmadsamadzai8255 You've got several explosions per second and several thousand parts turning those explosions into rotation. Any number of things could have caused this, from the engine randomly yeeting a connecting rod through the engine block (Yes, that does happen) to something eroding a bearing in just the wrong place and causing the engine to seize up, to just a fuel system failure. Doubtless NTSB will be having a look at this, so we just need to wait for their report.

Amazing amazing Job from the student pilot. Poor ATC controller initially that increased the workload for a student pilot needlessly. Then He had him doing 360’s and delaying him over and over again instead of helping him out and giving him priority. Really frustrating to see that kind of lack of support from ATC when dealing with a Solo student. Other controller was very good and supportive.

I dislike flying into busy towered airports like this with a mix of jets, GA and training. Faster IFR flight plan traffic and jets always get preference which is fine. I don't mind ATC at all, but dread hearing "extend downwind." I prefer to not be at traffic pattern altitude so far from the airport. An airport busy enough for a control tower is more likely to be in a populated area with fewer favorable landing options away from the runways. Good job to all involved
