@@teodoricoterry839 yep it drives me nuts when the news reqorters say it's just a small plane. so I zoomed in on the n number upside down and picked it out and goggle it and got lucky.
The crash site is at: McKinney - North Texas Natural Select Materials 3403 County Road 317 McKinney, TX 75069 And is southeast of the departure end of Runway 36. The aircraft, N414BS a Cessna 414 twin engine plane, departed on Runway 18 but failed to fly the plane straight ahead after experiencing an engine failure. There are open fields south of Old Mill Road and north of Wilson Creek where the pilot could have flown the plane straight-in to an off-field landing. It looks as though the pilot was instead attempting to turn around and head back to the airport. An engine out condition, coupled with slow airspeed, low altitude, and turning typically lead to a stall and uncontrolled crash like this one. The description of the aircraft after takeoff indicates the one engine was not producing power. The plane stalled, rolled over (a Vmc roll) and impacted the ground inverted. Vmc stands for Velocity Minimum Control. It’s the minimum airspeed at which an aircraft can maintain control with one engine inoperative.
@@nuclearrabbit1 I have never heard that. Every 414 pilot I have known reports it is not an airplane to be flown on one engine and is a handful on one engine and the pilot must be exceptional on this aircraft with engine failure especially on takeoff & climout.
So tough seeing another Twin go down I feel sometimes people get their license but dont stay competent enough to fly them in emergency situations " not saying this pilot wasnt competent " but very sad loss of life you need decision altitudes where if u get an engine out u commit to forced landing , or above you Power up, Clean up, Identify, Verify, Rectify and then return to land and if ur ever in a vmc roll pull the power and lower the nose and look to put her down Every flight you do should be a practice for a what if it goes wrong here, where would I go , what do I do, Rehearse it on the ground, in your bed, in the car. The privilege of a license comes with an immense amount of responsibility...
White-out is snow, brown-out is sand/dust. But yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I've requested for that many times in my career and they never have a problem doing it.
When I was a firefighter, we would wet down the landing zone if we had time. That engine had enough water on it to do it without a tanker or other resources.
Does not have to be an engine out VMC roll. It can be a Torque roll from many things even with two good running engines and it can even be an accelerated roll with both good running engines. All you need to have is a Prop pitch failure on one engine or accidental prop pitch level change on one engine. The NTSB often negligently ignores these two realities in this type of twin failure. They always look to see if the engine was running, if it was, they blame pilot. But a sudden oil control governor failure in one engine can also cause it. Not oil loss, but some oil control valve failures can cause the pitch to go suddenly to low speed. . Lots of people don't realize a governor can have a failure that makes it go to full pitch, and prop HUB can also fail in a way to drive a prop to full pitch. The tensioner spring failure. NTSB never looks for these things.
@@Hawka-Loogy One of the most common issues that causes a pilot to crash in a twin is engine out. This is often called VMC roll by pilots, but it is technically a torque roll. However, there are cases when the engine keeps running, and there is no engine out, but there is massive sudden torque roll from the prop pitch activating to full on and the pilot is instantly dumbfounded. He thinks he is losing a engine because RPM drops , rightfully so. But due to pitch increase the engine loosing RPM is also the one with suddenly more torque and the plane pulls opposite to what the pilot corrects for. The engine he thinks is going ou is actually pulling more. The pilots corrections are opposite to what they should be, This causes the plane to yaw Even more. He has no engine out. This will roll a plane over. A sure sign this may have happened is a plane that rolled over as this one did. a regular MC roll is not going to do that with the pilot attempting to correct properly. In these type failures All the pilot has to go by is huge loss of rpm. These type failures show no sign of the engine not running in the crash analysis. This is often why the NTSB will see in the post-crash analysis an engine that looked like it was running. Thats when they decide to blame the pilot and start looking for any other excuse, they can blame on him. Constant speed Props can fail into a mode of full pitch. There are many ways the oil diverter valve can malfunction in a manor to drive the prop to full pitch. The NTSB never ever looks for these type failures.
Pretty sure that pilot is a lot more concerned about his crews safety than we are. If he sensed an imminent crash, I'm quite sure he would've pulled up.
@@TecTrends I was simply making an observation. I could be wrong, but in a light twin, if you lose power from an engine after takeoff and there’s no more runway ahead to land on, the gear has to come up, does it not? To reduce drag, to keep the aircraft under controlled flight, or to belly in on a flat surface if it cannot continue to fly.
@@Andrew-13579 yeah me too, my point was that we stick to the landing gear out while takeoff, because depending on the handbook the gear helps reduce impact forces. Also while takeoff your hands are on the throttle probably. As the witness said altitude was very low and it flipped while an assumed attempt to turn back was made. Maybe gear only comes in for this plane at a higher altitude, no way he got it in and out while in the flip. So your observation is totally correct and shows what probably happened. Depending on his airfield, as the report states, he could have gone straight maybe. Then it could make sense to retract gear as you say, but only if there is no other way to reach’s crash site. For me best option would be continue straight and leave gear out, or slowly climb with 1 remaining engine with gear in before turn
When you lose an engine in a piston twin like this Cessna 414, you lose more than 80% of performance. He should have immediately lowered the pitch attitude and looked for a place to land straight ahead if he is below 1000 feet. If you are already at pattern altitude, then he can look for return to the airport but that is very risky unless you are very proficient with your piston twin.
You take off at Vsse, get the bird cleaned up and at Vyse (blue line) ASAP rocky. If you lose an engine, yes, you lose 80% of your performance. But if you do your preflight planning the way you should, you’d have planned for the bird to climb on one engine. And never, EVER make an intersection takeoff in a piston twin. Use every foot that is available. Fly out of trouble. Or, stay on the ground and wait for better conditions. It’s one thing to ditch a Bonanza at 60 knots or less. It’s a whole nuther thing to ditch a cabin class twin going 50 percent faster and at least twice the weight. You’re looking at 4.5 times or more kinetic energy to dissipate in a 414 than a light single. You probably won’t walk away from it.
@@wtcirrus I don’t think you can climb on 1 engine in piston twins. I suppose at sea level and lightly loaded, maybe. Anything conditions outside that, you are lucky if you can maintain your altitude. Otherwise all of your other comments are good points. Pre flight planning is not only a good idea, they are a mandatory must. Always plan for the unexpected so when it happens, they are not unexpected.
@ArizonaAirspace multiengine trainers are flown every day on one engine, not all of which are flown from sea level airports. And yes, they will climb on one engine. In training, if you lose an engine immediately after takeoff, you’re expected to get cleaned up, identify, verify, and secure the dead engine. Then you get to pattern altitude, enter the pattern, and execute a landing. It’s done every day, and not only at sea level airports. At least that’s how it was done when I got my multiengine rating forty years ago.
@@UncleKennysPlaceit’s very common actually, it has killed a lot of people over the years…a lot of these pilots aren’t getting the currency training they need or lack the skill to fly a twin…
For an after take-off engine failure when you still don't have enough altitude for more choices, its smarter to just shut down both engines and glide/land straight ahead.
