it might be hard for non-pilots to understand, but that’s exactly the reminder every pilot needs to hear when they’ve nearly lost all hope. an airplane without an engine hasn’t stopped flying. Your airplane is a glider, probably a terrible glider, but it’s still got wings. But as long as you the pilot keep flying the airplane, managing whatever energy (altitude+speed) is left the best you can until you land, you still have a chance. We practice “engine out” procedures, but in the moment the real thing is scary as hell. “Keep flying” is a reminder that you’re still in control, do not give up, keep flying until you’re on the ground and stopped.
My heart goes out to the ATC and family and friends of the pilot and passengers 😢 That ATC did a fantastic job with communications all around; the pilot sounded like he had a calm resolve of the situation.
Mayor Steve Pellegrini says 39-year-old Rimma Dotsenko, her husband, 43-year-old Victor, and their three children died when the single-engine plane crashed alongside a highway west of downtown Nashville on Monday.
I'm a pilot and I can't for the life of me understand why this pilot left the John C Tune aerodrome... He has 1,000 feet of altitude in a single engine aircraft which was enough to put it on the ground there. In fact, there for a brief moment it sounded like he just gave up, which was confirmed by another pilot saying "keep flying it".
It's very sad that that this tragedy happened. I think it illustrates the importance of training for this very situation and building muscle memory. Every pilot should take off knowing that their engine WILL fail and every flight without an engine failure is the exception. Hopefully others will learn from this.
He really sounds resigned to his fate, you can hear a heavy sigh. You've got to keep flying the plane look for a road a highway but these night flights with emergencies are terrifying. Prayers for the families as two people lost their lives. 😢😢😢
They should have night sight. Alas planes are kept for way too long. It should be like cars, perhaps a bit longer say 20-30 years and manufacturer come up with radical new planes and mid cycle face lift etc.
If you are flying with passengers in this situation, you got to fight for every spare moment you got to give you passengers (the lives you are responsible for) .....a fighting chance to live! This was not meant to happen, but it did.
@@charlenemariecoraninmemory5130 yes movies are sometimes fantasy. However, as pilots, we’re trained from day one “fly the airplane”, and if a forced, off airport, landing becomes inevitable, then “fly the airplane as far into the crash as possible”.
@@garyowen9044 I am not aware that that he didn't fly the airplane. Maybe he flew it but hit a object like a pole, tree or wires? His right wing was intact, left wing not so much. What is actually know about his flight path? At night wires very hard to see,
@@dwaynemcallister7231 you are quite correct, and we should wait for the full NTSB report. However, his radio call was so disheartening to hear that resignation in his voice.
@@garyowen9044 I think for him it had been a long day and he didn't like what he saw out the windscreen for landing options, this displayed in his voice. He didn't stick it in nose first, this suggests he didn't stall it...left wing pretty messed up, something hit that for sure, right wing intact mostly...the fire seemed the biggest issue, in my opinion.
night time, single engine, unfamiliar with the terrain; a sad outcome. Guys if you have an engine failure in an airplane that has a constant speed prop, Pull the prop lever all the way back to low RPM /high blade AOA. It won't fully feather, but it will give you more glide distance. ATP/CFII/MEI 737, MD-80, Lr-jet, CE-500, CE-650, HS-125, FAA Examiner GL25-180
flying copilot with my dad for 40 years in a single engine, he taught me how to land and other basics, in case he couldn't do it. He always said to never panic and never stop flying the plane. We had 2 times of total engine failure and both times we all walked away unscratched from landing in a field. No judgement, but why did the pilot give up ?. No engine doesn't mean you must crash
Canadian Aircraft Registration records show the aircraft last registered to an unnamed individual on July 20, 2023. Those same records show the aircraft based at CNC3 Brampton Celedon Airport just outside of Toronto. Brampton Celedon (CNC3) shows itself to have an established "International Student Pilot Training" presence at the airport. Quite a nice airfield.
Brampton Caledon airport is very busy and popular. The airport is north of Brampton which is adjacent to Vaughan. Both are part of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). The GTA is almost one continuous urban area and has almost the same population as the state of Tennessee. The gentleman on the radio had an accent. That is not unusual for Ontario or the GTA. Canada has welcomed at least a million newcomers a year in recent years.
Never fly a single engine plane at night unless you absolutely must. The risk of engine out is always the same no matter what time you fly, but at night the reality you can't see the ground will be a ugly reality. At night While you are flying, and the engine is running all is good and the lack of visibility below, with only a few scatter lights seems ok. But his engine quit and at that moment He sounded like he was looking into the black abyss at 1600 ft . and gave up, realizing that by the time he can see the ground he will have no time to pick a safe spot. He had no idea where is was and little knowledge of the area as frequent fliers of that area do. Even if he was from area, he certainly did not fly enough to have the ground imprinted in his head. It looked like the abyss to him. He never should have gave up. If you are going to die, die trying like hell not to die
Once the pilot said he couldn't make the runway, the controller should have encourage the pilot to identify an off-field landing spot while minding his air speed. Attempting to extend a glide, in most cases, tragically ends in a fatal stall and spin.
Makes more sense when you learn that it happened at night. My personal minimum is I don't fly single engine piston at night without a ballistic parachute for exactly this reason.
Aviate, navigate and communicate. Walked away from an emergency landing with damage to airframe before. 1600 AGL is enough to make the impossible turn if he just took off. All you need is 600 on a calm day 400 on a 10kts headwind day.
i'm sure he did his best. his whole family died. be kind. if u know u wont make it, then u know. that point comes in a crash. it was night; the terrain was hills and woods.
Flying a single engine aircraft over a city at night, one would not want to be at a low altitude as in this case, when/if the engine should stop, virtually no options for a safe landing would be likely. Altitude is like a insurance policy, it's energy that could aid one in a engine out situation. Don't fly like the engine will never stop, you never know, so plan with this in mind before you kick the tires head off somewhere. These guys seem to have come down from Canada and the pilot sounds like he may be from India.
@@WW3_Soon Maybe it comes down to not knowing how much risk a father/pilot is exposing his kids to. Single engine and at night is a far greater risk for sure and one better know he can count on the reliability of the machine,, I grew up flying with my father frequently as he owned two single engine aircraft and later a twin too. He was his own mechanic too and he was good. He never hurt anyone in his lifetime of flying 43 years, but he was a commercial pilot very professional, with a private pilot the training & aptitude may be insufficient for the intended flight. The skills of a pilot are perishable if one fly's infrequently. Sad story here.
Altitude is essential in a single or a light twin at night. The Saratoga glides between 900 to 1200 fpm based on gear and prop, so from 1000 feet you won't have more than a minute. At night a minimum of 2000 AGL would be wise.
Two crashes over the past couple of weeks where the engines quit. My mind has all kinds of thoughts about how to make these smaller planes safer to land when such a problem happens. Blowing air into the bottom like "air bags" could slow it down as it descends if keeping the nose up in a good position for one. Very sad to hear these things happen.
Those would have to be some massive airbags.. Everything has been thought of, the trade-off is never feasible or affordable. Somebody did not do their job here. This was either pilot or a maintenance error. Whatever the case, nothing will be learned from this accident, pointless and sad.
@@LazloNQso the other problem is that they take up space and weight that reduces the aircraft’s useful load. As well as the fact that older planes like this one are not built to have parachutes attached. Most small airplanes flying are very old. New ones are just way too expensive to be afforded by the average person. Often dealing with 1960s-1980s technology.
Loss of control should not happen ,even in a forced landing ,thats what happened here .. Now that airplane has four fuel tanks which you can select each individual tanks ..Could have forgotten to change tanks .
It happened at night. Trying to find an open spot at night to put it in is impossible. I-40 interstate is always packed with cars, so he didn't even try. He augered it in so it would be over quick and not die in the post crash fire as is most often the case.
I had an engine out at 800' AGL over a forest although it was dusk with enough light to see a field. This pilot really needed to fight all the way to the ground. On or along a lighted freeway/road can work, but he needed to put it down with the proper glide speed to control the plane. One of my instructors loved to randomly cut the power to idle and then watch me find a landing spot and get lined up. Great practice although I found it annoying at the time. Sorry for the families of these folks.

@@redbird444 And if the good pilot hits something he didn't see in the dark he won't be landing exactly how he planned to, especially if it results in a massive explosion and fire.
@@redbird444 Yes, a good pilot always has a plan. We flew across the Rockies hundreds of times and always always had a plan in place for eyeball landing.

Not feasible. Battery would make the aircraft too heavy and unsafe because of the fire risk. Electric aircraft are not realistic with current technology.
TnFlyGirl's fatal crash made me start paying attention to all the crashes in general aviation, and I've just been blown away by how common they seem to be! I've seen lots of people acting like this is a recent phenomenon, but GA's actually gotten safer over the last couple of decades. I also see comments blaming "DEI," but nearly every crash I see involves wealthy white people!
The problem is simple. The wealthy believe buying and owning an airplane is just like buying a Lamborghini. Own it, joyride it, show it off, but don’t spend much of your top dollar time learning how to pilot it, maintain it, study its nuances, and its vulnerabilities. An airplane has zero forgiveness in shortcomings in any of these areas. Truly a killer toy in the hands of a spoiled child.
This was not an “old” plane. And even then, thousands of flights happen everyday without incident. There are planes from the 40’s that fly perfectly well every single day. There are cars that drive perfectly well until there is an accident that happens. It’s extremely unfortunate but the odds of a fatal plane crash are minuscule compared to fatal car accidents. Should people not risk their lives with driving?
@@zarmrilUnfortunately that's not true. General aviation (think small planes) actually has a higher fatality rate than driving, closer to that of motorcyclists.
@@stevefisher2553 Actually it’s not. Present level of fatal accidents per flight hours is far lower than in the past. They just get more media coverage skewing perception and fueling hysteria.
