Excellent, but I miss the old narrator!

I assume every pilot has a plan for this on takeoff, with a general plan in several circumstances when experiencing an engine failure? why the insistence on making the runway? any open field of grass in a mostly wide open grassy area that is many airports is certainly better than a stall into the ground....

Awsome video. I like how you see through the eyes of all the people involved.

A minor yet significant tidbit: The controller should have corrected the Cirrus when he said "cleared for the intercept". In reality, he'd been cleared for the ILS approach to 21. That might have reinforced his situational awareness and kept him from blowing through the localizer. Who knows.

I wonder how much fatigue played a role in this. They had done over five hours of flying, spent 4 hours on the ground, and had potentially several hours to get to Des Moines. I don't make the best decisions after five hours in a car followed by needing to get back in the car a few hours later. With such unfavorable density altitude in the mountains, it would have been wiser to spend the night in Aspen and leave early morning with a clear head and cooler temperatures.

Honestly, she should have landed at the Sugar Land, TX air field. There is far less traffic and definitely no SWA 737 planes! She was in wayyy over her head at Hobby, and at that time of day!

ITS INCORRECT TO SAY RIPE FOR MISTAKES CORRECT USAGE IS RIFE FOR MISTAKES

Looks like the amphibian, fire-fighting brother to the Air Warden.

This is multiple controller F ups, she stayed calm the whole time, the tower controllers needed to talk to the approach controller to make space to fit her in, or hand her off to approach . Eventually she probably became frustrated and overwhelmed which lead to a critical mistake.

All aircraft are like a loaf of bread, they have an expiration date 😂

It’s asinine to tow banners to begin with 😂

≈ 13:00 If it starts 'porpoise'ng', what would happen, if you just held the stick still (no fwd or aft input at all)?

Incredible. i wish i had applied to join guys like this, when i was in my 20's, instead of just staying in australia, thinking, 'there's no jobs' back when Ansett collapsed...

What a lovely group of people. Just the kind that you want around when things are tough. ❤

I would imagine maintenance on the airframe and floats is quite important. They take a lot of stress on those scoops and drops.

I am not sure that I would trust that plane again with an undiagnosed electrical fault. Something was pulling fault current. Wiring short somewhere?😮

Is it just me? At 4:25 I expected him to say "Red Leader, this is Gold Leader, we're starting our attack run".

Love this guy.

Man this is intense and such an amazing machine and mission. 1600 hp and that kind of weight change... RIP Richard - a massive loss to aviation.

I thought they would do some basic emergency training for these controllers. They’re talking about vacuum tube failure. They have no idea what they’re talking about.

I always thought that the screaming sound was a feature of the supercritical aerofoil wing. Interesting.

So pleased that he didn’t target fixate on the runway because the M11 motorway in his path is in a considerable cutting on the approach line to Duxford that would have given a very different outcome. Excellent dynamic risk assessments and the best possible outcome. Any landing that you walk away from is a good’n!

Engaging personality that the Lord was selfless enough to leave amongst us a while longer. I am liking the sound of Alaska life❤

High density altitude is a very strange name for what is a low density atmospheric condition. Terminology is important. I suppose that the wind sock was a missed clue to the danger ahead. Real observation trumping historic reports and the vagaries of forecast. There but for the grace of God…

Pull the chute !

❤❤❤❤❤ pull the damm chute !

Complacency has no place in the air or at sea which is more my environment. We fly or float solely because of our geometry. Minor variations of our geometry and we cease to do either. Both environments are capable of editing our carefully constructed geometry on a whim. 😢

The plane is a modified Piper Pawnee, correct?

hard to believe they did this without any mountain flight training. Why no head northwest along the highway?

One or both didn’t know where they were at any given moment of the flight or what was planned for approach. Kind gesture of permitting practice was catastrophic. 😢

Acting maybe was a bit hammy but it did the job for me, it's absolutely haunting to know this really happened, to put yourself in their place. Scary stuff.

can you wingover in this aircraft if yes was that an option ?

How could that guy be a Captain and make such mistakes?

I’ve never figured it out what the ATC is talking about as a simulator player. How can you guys (pilots) listen to words with different assent so fast.

Hi people, how are you?. Is it a good practise if before take-off I get lined up on the RWY, tap the brakes, apply full power, verify if both engines are giving symmetric power and then start the take-off roll?k

That Piper Aztec is a jewell, by the way stunning presentation, very useful. Thank you👍

Right seat captains....hoo boy. They can make life miserable. Throwing out full spoilers with full flaps in a 36 degree bank? Definitely not a good idea.

One thing id like to note/clarify, i dont know what all operators do but one thing of note and something ive seen not only done by the flight school where I got my PPL but with the CAP as well, in Cessna 152s 172s and 182s is to lower the flaps to full during the preflight and then during either the engine start or before taxi checklist to retract them. Him being a new pilot, he could have missed this step and forgotten to raise them. When i was a student pilot on the 152 i had a similar oversight where i missed that item during the engine start checklist and my CFI had to call out that i had not retracted the flaps from full down configuration. That put a mental reminder in my head and now i always tripple check and verify flaps are up. Seeing he was new to the cessna and had likely not recieved much instruction i can unfortunately understand how the mistake could have been made.

Just buy a Skymaster.

All that manifold vacuum only inches away from him!😢. Very sad.

Reminiscent of the old film with David Niven where the angel forgot to collect the pilot after he crashed his plane so he survived. The problem with exhaust heat exchangers is that they tend to smell exhausty like even when they’re not leaking. The smell of very hot steel makes you used to the smell of exhaust such that you could easily miss a slow developing leak path. Could this be the luckiest man alive.

Atc stressed pilot increasing work load

Just like glider pilots have to understand, it's very easy to lose altitude, but can be very challenging to gain it back. If you have partial power loss, keep altitude high for as long as you can hold it. A slip with full flaps will drop you pretty quick. Even more so in a bank.

1st rule Fly the plane. 2nd rule Oh Well you know. 3rd rule Oh geez whiz😂

Control and performance. Got it. So why are most twins so difficult to control and suffer such terrible performance in engine out scenarios? I know the physical, scientific reasons. I’m more concerned with how so many twins achieved certification when they are, in practice, barely flyable with one engine inop. I consider this a significant failure of the aircraft certification process, and I don’t think many twins would pass certification these days. I wish there had been more exploration of centerline thrust designs and other technologies to alleviate these problems.

Very nice video. Thx

If i had money, I could spend 100s of hours playing with with one engine. So much interesting work that could be done.

Is this the plane they labeled the “Doctor Killer”?!

Funny that you used a Barron. Unrecoverable from a VMC induced spin when equipped with VG's. VG's on a Barron will kill you. You can do everything right in a Barron and still die. Unless you drill into a light twin pilots head that VMC is the speed you see just before the crash people will die. Current Multi engine training is a disaster. And the stats prove it. You can safely operate a light twin but not the way the Feds want. When have you seen anybody from the government get anything right?

I get what you’re saying… don’t let ATC take over flying. But in that case tell them what your plan is and what you need. “N1234WY declaring a partial power loss emergency. I need direct the field and 4000 feet until 2 miles out.” A lot less talking and now the controller can clear out other traffic.
