    Nicely done! I didn't see it elsewhere in the comments, but why Medford over Eugene? You were obviously deliberate and thoughtful in that decision, but curious as to what your thought process was.

    • @Jerry.Wagner
      @Jerry.Wagner  ปีที่แล้ว +31

      Left engine started running rough near Eugene and that is when I turned towards Eugene with that as my first thought to land at while I sorted things out, Engine was still producing power with just the #3 cylinder showing lower Temps but still producing full RPM and power, roughness smoothed for a while as I mentioned to ATC so I turned towards Medford with the intention of turning back towards Eugene if things got worse knowing that I also I had Roseburg on the route, then halfway between Eugene and Medford while I was still running on both engines oil started spewing out on the cowling as the increased crankcase pressure from the #3 cylinder blew out an oil seal on the vacuum pump, so I waited until the oil pressure was at the bottom of the green arc and then decided to shut down and feather the left engine and continue straight ahead to Medford instead of turning around for Eugene because we I had plenty of altitude and speed to make Medford or diverting to Roseburg , Myrtle Creek, Springbrook and Grants Pass on the way to Medford. The 421C fully loaded which I was not can maintain 14.000 feet on one engine hence the decision to land Medford.

      @@Jerry.Wagner Thanks for taking the time to elaborate. I now better understand the timing of how the engine smoothed out for a while before final blowing the oil out, putting you closer to Medford.

      @@Jerry.Wagner Good job. My only concern with Medford over Eugene is terrain and field elevation. Medford would not be as friendly to a single engine go around should it have become necessary. The field elevation and terrain in Medford would make that a challenge in a 421. Eugene would have actually been the better option. Easy for an arm chair quarterback, of course, but thought I'd throw that out there.

      Man, I'm so glad I was not in his position. Having to make a quick decision under pressure is impossible for a young man like me with anxiety disorder and ADHD. Huge props to Jerry for selecting the safest landing spot. God bless these folks who go through high stakes scenarios. :)

    Wow Jerry, excellent job. Your wife handled it pretty well too. Don't be upset with her for talking, she's trying to process what's going on and be calm for you. It was pretty easy to see you were ramped up a few notches, even if your voice didn't reveal it. Now, that all the platitudes are done, "Don't do that to me again". My heart can't take it!!!

    Hey Jerry! Ryan from the FWR show! Wow captain! Amazing job! I’m so happy to have found your channel. The only concern I would raise to anyone training, is that the A/c in your airplane is Hydrulic…… that runs from a pump attached to your accessory case. When that Ac runs it does create resistance on the engine to the tune of 75 rpm if your engines are the GTSIO….your airplane is my absolute Cessna every created! With that said. In a condition where VMC is possible. The 414, 421, 441, are not friendly in VMC, Even with the built in assist…….. the importance of this video is incredible, thank you so much for posting it, I hope I made a new friend! 😊
