5 for 5. When I was taking my FAA check ride (way back when), I had landed, the examiner had me line up to take off, when we were about 50 feet off the ground, he pull the throttle. I was not expecting it which made it all the more real (landing was successful). I will never forget that moment.
Same experience as you had. Just for my EASA PPL checkride the examiner called engine fire, while at about 50 feet up in the air. I had to kill the throttle and land back on the remaining part of the runway. Never forget that one.
My instructor did that to me before i soloed. Started the climb and he pulled the throttle all the way back. I immediately pushed the nose down and shouted "what are you doing". He pushed the throttle forward and said "keep going, nice reaction". That gave me a lot of confidence and proved to me I could react automatically without thinking. It was a great lesson. I will never forget it.
I was taking off, and a gust of wind made the plane abruptly bank right. I did nothing. My CFI reacted quickly and put that nose down. My reaction to the unexpected is to do nothing. I need to work on that.
This is an excellent maneuver to practice, which drives the point why we should do departure briefs prior to every take off to reduce the surprise factor. Much like in the airlines, the departure brief should cover: takeoff type & runway, performance, departure procedure and abnormal/emergency action.
5 for 5. Practiced this during my complex endorsement and Piper Arrow checkout. It really drove home the importance of keeping the gear down until there's no remaining usable runway. It was eye opening to see just how much you need to push the yoke forward to keep the wing flying!
5 for 5, thankful for all of your knowledge and the time you put into all of these videos to teach us Jason. I really find all of your content super helpful.
5 for 5. Never did this with my instructor while training but another instructor had me do it on a check out for another aircraft. I’m glad he did! Definitely something that every pilot should experience.
5 for 5! I once had a real engine failure on downwind as a solo student. Luckily my instructor taught me well; I made a short approach and landed safely with enough momentum to get clear of the runway. We’d practiced failures many times before that.
Even though this was briefed all through my flight training (and every flight) I never actually practiced it until CFI training. Now it's included training and practice for my students!
5 for 5. 2 years ago when I got current again, Ifound AQP from Josh Flowers (Aviation 101), Steve Thorne (FlightChops), and Dan Gryder (Probable Cause). Your pre-takeoff brief that flashed on the screen is KEY!! I changed my before takeoff brief to include those details...forcing myself to be prepared for an engine out. WHEN (not if) it happens, get light in the seat and land straight ahead. Thank you Team Schappert.
5 for 5, thanks for this video. This is something talked about and practiced in the air during flight training but never practiced in this fashion. Thank you again!
5 for 5. We practiced some emergency procedures today. My CFI demonstrated a couple power off 180s and I executed a simulated in flight engine fire descent and power off emergency landing procedure. Great stuff!
5/5 - Done this before? Not on purpose. During my PPL training. The engine wasn't making electricity. Before I knew it my CFI took over and put us down. Quite the debrief after.
5 for 5. Great video! Seems like LOPOT is one of the most dangerous situations that can happen to a pilot. It's even worse when you're higher. I'm a fan of Dan Gryder who talks about this a lot. He's always encouraging pilots to EXPECT the LOPOT and have this always in mind "There it is (loss of power), PUSH!"
5 for 5 when training for CFI I had no idea my instructor was going to do it to me after a dozen years flying never did one...I did not put the nose down immediately I did have the 2 second shock brain...then I did it on purpose flawless...now I think about that on every takeoff...thanks for the demo
I’m 5 for 5! This is amazing training, this is something that can happen, I had a rough engine after takeoff it was interesting luckily my CFI was with me so it ended well.
Nice one, Jason. I never did this until I was going for my Commercial. Very enlightening as to how quickly your airspeed bleeds off while pitched up and reduced power. One thing for a realistic scenario would be to add a 3 second "Oh @#$%" factor before pitching forward - try it at altitude in the practice area. Always, safety first.
5/5! I need more practice on engine failure with rwy remaining. I've done it but it's been a long while. I always check around airports for new airports to see what's in the way. My brief is good but I like the suggestions made and will incorporate further details. Thanks Jason!
I had that done to me on one of my biannual flight reviews. I was able to execute the procedure without assistance from the instructor. Great procedure to practice with an instructor if you haven't done so.
I am 5 for 5. I can’t say that I have practiced it, but on my solo cross country I lost power due to carb ice on a clear warm morning. Run up checks were perfect, and I had to wait for landing traffic. 75 feet off the ground when power dropped significantly. Aborted my take off, diagnosed the problem, and had a wonderful flight at the invincible age of 16.
5 for 5. During my private pilot training one time we made a regular takeoff. When we almost flew over the fence my instructor put power to idle and said "you lost your engine, what you gunna do?" We never briefed this situation before, but my first action was to push the nose down. He said "that is good reaction" and get full power back. I learned alot from this.
5 4 5 Great video! I actually enjoyed doing these but haven't done them in a while. There is nothing more important than practicing emergency procedures.
My instructor did these with me and although we talk this maneuver in every takeoff brief, I was completely unprepared for just how quickly we had to get the nose down It definitely recalibrated me to how quickly I'd have to react, and I was glad we did a few of these.
Still learning to fly, and this is a maneuver we have not done yet. Great skill to posses. I will be talking to my cfi about it. Thanks for these videos good length and informative. Oh and btw I am 5 for 5. See you tomorrow.
Not since flight school :) I did unfortunately experience an engine failure at 900' in the pattern, downwind of runway 7 here at KHEG. Landed with no issues (other than a blown engine) on runway 11. That was October 2022. Five for five.
Better make sure the instructor has practiced it as well. If you don’t lower the nose immediately you’re in trouble. Even more so in other aircraft like a Bonanza or a Mooney. Be careful.

My reaction to the unexpected is to do nothing. I need to work on that.
5 for 5. I love doing this maneuver. I think this is also important to help teach people not to retract gear too soon.
5 of 5 this is probably one of the only exercises I haven’t practiced yet. Thank you.
This is an excellent maneuver to practice, which drives the point why we should do departure briefs prior to every take off to reduce the surprise factor. Much like in the airlines, the departure brief should cover: takeoff type & runway, performance, departure procedure and abnormal/emergency action.
Five for five. I’ve never practiced this maneuver, but now I want to go up with my instructor and practice this!

Did you cut through the pattern and go backwards on the runway or did you complete the pattern?
@@acasualviewer5861 Short approach. From downwind I made an early base/final. I suppose you could call that completing the pattern.
Even though this was briefed all through my flight training (and every flight) I never actually practiced it until CFI training. Now it's included training and practice for my students!

5 for 5, thank you Jason! This really demonstrates the importance of a good takeoff briefing. Have a great weekend folks and fly safe.
5 for 5! Did exactly this in November 2023 with a CFI. Honestly, even after briefing, it was still unnerving to perform. Great video, ready for day 6!
5 for 5. Great video and very important. There's a huge difference between saying it during the takeoff brief and actually doing it.
5 for 5, thanks for this video. This is something talked about and practiced in the air during flight training but never practiced in this fashion. Thank you again!
5 for 5. We practiced some emergency procedures today. My CFI demonstrated a couple power off 180s and I executed a simulated in flight engine fire descent and power off emergency landing procedure.
Great stuff!
5/5 Thank you for teaching us the proper way to respond in an emergency!
5 for 5. All caught up. Thanks again Jason for this awesome challenge.
5/5 - Done this before? Not on purpose. During my PPL training. The engine wasn't making electricity. Before I knew it my CFI took over and put us down. Quite the debrief after.
5 for 5. This is definitely something I've been meaning to practice but never have. Thanks!
Five for Five. Something to learn and be ready in the unlikely occurrence.
5/5 Great Video and lesson this morning of something that is "always" briefed but almost never practiced.
5 for 5. Great video! Seems like LOPOT is one of the most dangerous situations that can happen to a pilot. It's even worse when you're higher. I'm a fan of Dan Gryder who talks about this a lot.

5 - 5 and I do love these videos! I’ll be the first to admit, that I’m a proud MzeroA ground school member.
Thank you...deeply appreciate your mentoring!!!!
5 for 5, right here, Jason. Thanks for the video series.
545 - My blood pressure increased a bit watching this video. And I knew what was coming. Thanks Jason!
5 for 5 when training for CFI I had no idea my instructor was going to do it to me after a dozen years flying never did one...I did not put the nose down immediately I did have the 2 second shock brain...then I did it on purpose flawless...now I think about that on every takeoff...thanks for the demo
5 for 5. Thanks Jason.
Good to practice on a long runway to get the feel for this.
You made it look so easy. Great job!
5 for 5……thanks again Jason…..number of items I need to be practicing!!!!!
5 for 5 EFATO is such an important lesson!! Short videos are great thanks Jason.
I’m 5 for 5! This is amazing training, this is something that can happen, I had a rough engine after takeoff it was interesting luckily my CFI was with me so it ended well.

Awesome! Never practiced this one. On my bucket list ✅
5/5! I need more practice on engine failure with rwy remaining. I've done it but it's been a long while. I always check around airports for new airports to see what's in the way. My brief is good but I like the suggestions made and will incorporate further details. Thanks Jason!
5/5! Didn’t even realize this was something we could practice! Gonna add it to the list!
Good one!! A must for all to practice and be prepared for.
This was an amazing and simple video. I have yet to see anyone demo this maneuver!
5/5 I love these "Safer Pilot Challenge" videos
I had that done to me on one of my biannual flight reviews. I was able to execute the procedure without assistance from the instructor. Great procedure to practice with an instructor if you haven't done so.
5 for 5, Jason! Keep up the great work.

5 for 5, a good briefing is everything.
5 for 5 my brother! Great stuff dude. My 15 year old daughter is ready for her discovery.
5 for 5.

We never briefed this situation before, but my first action was to push the nose down. He said "that is good reaction" and get full power back.
I learned alot from this.
Putting the nose down seems to be a mostly good reaction to any emergency or unexpected situation.
#5 I Haven't done that...eagerly anticipating to try it!
🛫📖🛬
Jason,
So glad you put this scenario in your 31 Day Challenge.
You are right;
You have to be quick. Expect the unexpected. 👍
5 for 5 😊 love this one, engine failure is always on my mind when departing.
5/5! This is something I’ll be asking my CFI about practicing soon!
5/5, thanks for these videos and different camera angles.
5 for 5!!!! Haven’t practiced this in a while but something to keep in mind for my next refresher with my instructor!.. Thanks Jason!!👍
5 for 5.... keep up the good work and love the knowledge you provide on your channel👍
5/5 and thank you! Keep ‘em coming!
5 4 5 Great video! I actually enjoyed doing these but haven't done them in a while. There is nothing more important than practicing emergency procedures.
5/5, and thanks for this. You're gonna' save some lives and spare some aircraft through this series I bet. Good on ya'!
Day 5 still catching up. I really need to learn this technique. Thank you!
My instructor did these with me and although we talk this maneuver in every takeoff brief, I was completely unprepared for just how quickly we had to get the nose down It definitely recalibrated me to how quickly I'd have to react, and I was glad we did a few of these.
scary to point the nose down so close to the ground.. a bit against instincts.
5 for 5, staying alive ...the goal of "A Good Pilot is Always Learning "!
Jason
These are awesome training videos.
They are very useful and very well explained.
Congratulations are in order.
Still learning to fly, and this is a maneuver we have not done yet. Great skill to posses. I will be talking to my cfi about it. Thanks for these videos good length and informative. Oh and btw I am 5 for 5. See you tomorrow.
5 for 5!
Great idea Jason!!
Challenge Accepted!!!
ET
5/5! Excellent video! That airspeed does drop quickly! My biggest fear is not having any runway left.
5 for 5, I'm definitely going to practice this. Awesome video
5 for 5!! Enjoying these as always!
5 for 5, this is one of the easiest and most important things to practice thanks for making it look easy. :)
4/5! Airspeed is important!
5 for 5! Going to try that with an instructor. Would be a super valuable tool to have in the toolbox.
5 for 5, did this during my primary training. Good reminder to practice it from time to time.
5 for 5 Sir 👌😇👍Truly OUTSTANDING Demo Sir 👍😇👌Cheers 🍻
5 for 5! Something I should definitely practice, with a CFI of course!
Wow! Great video Jason. I will definitely practice this with my CFI. Thanks for making this video.
5 for 5! Great job! Now I have to go out and do this!
5 for 5 - a couple days late, but what a great lesson! I look forward to practicing this...with a CFI!
Done Day 5! Thanks Jason!
5 for 5, A great skill to practice even for the feeling of when you have true stall to have the muscle memory to push forward. Keep them coming.
5 of 5, so far so good. Getting my daily dose of learning.
5 for 5. Haven’t practiced this one yet but will. Thanks!
Wow an Awesome Teaching!!! Thank you!!! 5 for 5 ✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️
Looking forward to practicing this.
5 for 5! I need to practice these! Thanks
5/5. Just did this exercise the other day
5 for 5. I have never practiced this. I will be scheduling a CFI to get some experience. Thanks for the videos, they are awesome.

Excellent
Thank you , love your videos !
5 for 5. I've never practiced this before and will need to try this, with and instructor, soon.
5 for 5. Thanks for the great video.
5 for 5, Hope this never happens but reality is it could. Thanks for the preperation!!
5 for 5, great series, thanks
Day 5 of 5, good exercise
5 for 5. Thanks for the videos!!
5 of 5. Need to try that with my CFI!!
5 for 5. Great thing to practice!
5 for 5 - very cool, will be make practicing this a priority (and yes, great advice using tools like Google Maps to identify best landing areas).
5 of 5 thank you!
5/5! Never done this but I might need to get my CFI to practice it with me.
