Wow absolutely amazing from everyone and good job to the student being able to ditch it in the water and escape…that is dicey.
How good was Tower and Cover Aircraft! The student pilot was excellent too.
Solid response by all involved.
I got my ppl at Albert witted airport. The class B floor is pretty low where he was at. Chances are that he was at 1000ft or less right there. He did a very good job!
That explains why he went into the water so quickly. At 1,000 ft he'd only be able to glide for about 1.5 nautical miles once he lost his engine.
Nothing was a problem to anyone. Would love to have a beer with this band! (I would take the check).
Talk about the engine failing at the worst time.
Fuel pump, change tanks. Carb heat. Mixture rich. etc. And most importantly, check your fuel levels before you depart.
That was my first thought.. carb icing.
@@PN_48 My first guess would be that he forgot to switch the tanks.
Yeah the usual failure to calculate fuel requirements.
@@PN_48 I'd think about pilot not packing enough fuel or forgetting to switch long before I'd think of icing.
That investigation will go smoothly
Is the standard format for Lat/Lon no longer taught? "27°44.72' N , 82°30.38' W". Degrees Decimal Minutes. It's the standard for marine and aviation.
I imagine he's reading out whatever format the GPS spits out. On some units you may be able to set it to a specific format but I imagine most rental planes just default to the factory setting.
Everybody who at least worked once with coordinates is able to convert from DD to DM/DMS or vice versa. So it is OK when the pilot transmits any format what he is reading right now. Do the math on ground.
Do your fuel calcs. Don't guess them. Do them.
declare an emergency dude!
Aviate, navigate, communicate
He didn't need to, and he really didn't have time. He was a solo student, and did a damn fine job all things considered.
@@Theonedjneo A Mayday x3 can be the difference between life and death. Tower had issues hearing these guys and might not picked up there is an issue and the pilot might have ended up treading water for a long time.
As soon the pilot said he lost his engine Tower knew it was an emergency. He did a great job.
Seriously!
