PILOT STATEMENT: After we took off out of KIAD we were vectored around the north side of the field. We were cleared direct to Charlottesville at about the same time as we levelled off at cruise at 4,500 feet. We had just started running the cruise checklist when we heard a loud bang, and the engine started shaking. I immediately took the flight controls from my student, and I attempted to report a partial engine power loss to ATC. Upon listening to the tapes, I was stepped on or stepped on somebody when I started the call. Mid-sentence to ATC it became a full power loss. From the internet archives, my call begins with the realization of the full power loss. The controller quickly cleared me “left turn, direct Dulles, any runway.” At 4,500’ only a couple miles WNW of the field I had altitude on my side. I could likely have made any runway, but I did not want to attempt to go further than my glide would have allowed. I made a quick decision to take 19C. I innately started going through my ABC’s of emergency procedures. I quickly realized at that point my objective was not to glide far, but to descend quickly to the runway. I lowered the gear and added the flaps to increase my drag to help me descend rapidly. I pushed the nose down to increase my descent rate. Upon turning final, I was way higher than standard, but I knew that KIAD had a runway more than long enough for me to bleed my energy over. I began a forward slip on final and was aiming for the front of the runway with anticipation of floating over the runway. I was nearing touching down when I saw the 5,000’ of runway remaining marker. That was when I knew that we made it. I was unsure if the nose gear was still attached due to the severity of the shakes, and noises around the nose, but all wheels were there for me to land. I attempted to take the high-speed taxiway to clear the runway, but my momentum ran out before I crossed the Hold Short line thus, getting out in the runway environment with the fire crews right behind. If I could have done anything different, I would have done two things. When I teach my students about engine failures, I say to circle your touchdown point to lose altitude and set up for a normal landing. I opted for the nonstandard approach due to the busy nature of the airport, and the quantity of nearby buildings, I did not want to circle around it. Additionally, I was not sure if I was on fire, and the excess airspeed was helpful for that. I knew I had plenty of runway to burn my energy over, which worked well, but If I could change anything, I would’ve made a circling descent. Additionally, I would have unlatched the door upon landing. You never know what happens, and I think having my exit open would have been beneficial, but luckily the airframe was in a state that it was unnecessary. Overall, I am proud of the result, and considering the circumstances, it ended in the best possible outcome
Instructor/PIC here, Thanks everyone for the kind remarks regarding the situation. I’m blessed to have received world class training from Liberty University to be able to do what I do at that level. I hope that my experience inspires and encourages everyone to make sure they know EXACTLY what they would do when the unexpected occurs. It’s something I practice every day, so I was able to handle the situation as thought it has happened to me hundreds of times. Hopefully, this is the only time it happens to me, and I hope it happens to none of you, but that’s our industry! Stay safe out there!! Tailwinds and Working Engines, Rylan
I was the student on this flight. Major kudos to the CFI. In all of our past trainings, Mr. Prieb has demonstrated careful attention and a high degree of skill and competence, and this day was no different. Mr. Prieb did an excellent job taking command of the aircraft, staying calm, and communicating clearly throughout the emergency. An invaluable experience (though I imagine the repair shop will have no trouble putting a price tag on it!).
As we used to say in the Navy, Bravo Zulu for a job well done, sir! I was listening to KIAD when it happened and following along on flightradar24.com (I'm their F-KNYG1 feed) and when I saw the conflict happening with the Air Shuttle departure my heart was in my mouth.
Chad Kennedy you were the guy on freq helping me out? Wow! So cool to interact here!! Thanks for your top professionalism and helping me out! Truly ended in a best case scenario!!
@@rylanprieb2851 I was the tower controller all we did was roll the trucks, move the northbound traffic out of the way, and tell approach to clear you to land. Just glad it all worked out!
Hello Chad. Can you please contact me via any of my social media or email for a couple questions? Not regarding this incident but the general idea of ATC Tower. Thank you.
(I'm ATC and CFI, building a course for controllers to respond to emergencies. The comments are my own, and NOT official FAA policy.) Fantastic job by both the pilot and by the controller. Textbook. Good decisive actions, and personally I'm thrilled that the controller asked only for people on board while also waiting just a moment for that. Fuel on board is irrelevant in a situation like this, and controllers who ask it only distract the pilot during a high workload period. Viewers might not pick up on the great job by the controller in making his first step to adjust the departing aircraft (ASH6043) rather than clearing the emergency aircraft to IAD. The Mooney should already be going direct IAD, with the pilot exercising PIC authority to do so.
Great comment. I am not an expert or a pilot but I always listen to these. Even as a layman I was extremely impressed with both the pilot and controller. The pilot kept his cool as much as we hear from commercial airline pilots with an emergency. This guy had no engine, communicated perfectly and I thought the controller was amazing. Do the air traffic controllers do an after action hot wash after something like this happens? I hope his colleagues could all hear how he handled this.
Another great thing the approach controller did was to clear him to land directly, and not having the pilot have to worry about switching to the tower! That lowers the workload on the pilot.
Welcome to the dead stick club. I had a similar incident in my 1973 Cessna 172M when I lost two opposing cylinders, one of which ejected the piston and punctured the side of the cowling. I had oil on the copilots side of the windshield and landed after a 3 mile glide into S59. Summer of 2013. I’ll never forget it. Welcome to the club, Sir!
I didn't notice. I've been reading the comments and taking notes of what I missed. After this, I will re-watch the video with these notes in mind. Thanks for the info.
He definitely took control of the plane and the radio too I believe. His student was just there hoping not to die, not doing anything, except looking for traffic probably.
Pretty sure the instructor was on comms the whole time. No student would keep saying "Fox" when ATC said "Foxtrot". This was intended (per description) as an intro to the SFRA, so having instructor on comms make sense.
First time I have heard an airplane engine clearly announce its failure during a radio transmission with the ATC controller. Kind of a vivid confirmation for the change to an EM (emergency) flight status!
This is probably my favorite emergency video I've ever seen. The controller made a lightning fast decision to turn Air Shuttle westbound and get the mooney back to the airport as quickly as possible. And I would assume also that while off the microphone he was quickly coordinating with IAD Tower to stop inbound and outbound traffic so the mooney could come back and take whatever runway he needed. The controller handled it so calmly, and with such confidence. That was incredible.
Kudos to the instructor for keeping his head on straight. It can be so jarring to go from teaching to having something spring up on you. Also kudos to the controllers. The sheer attention you have to have when you suddenly need to move move jets around an emergency target like that is mind boggling!
I remember this on the 15th, I was inside the SFRA with my instructor lining up to land at KHEF when we heard that there was an emergency somewhere in our area, glad to know that you all made it down safe and that no one was hurt
The coolest part of this post is finding the PIC, student, and ATController all self-identify in the comments. A new win!! 😁😁 Those photos really added to the story. Thanks for sharing!
Kudos to the approach controller who remained calm and vectored other planes away from the emergency aircraft, as well as the pilots who managed to land in such a critical condition. Great work!
The times you learn about and practice and are continually briefed on; becomes real life and every response can mean life or death. Good job, both instructor and student pilots. Good job!
WICKED GRASS Yes. They are so cool. Would love to have flown one. China did but I believe now a bunch of Mooney pilots bought it. I just think Mooney is a great plane all the way around. 👍✈️
@@wickedgrass7368 Mooney is American owned again with China having a small majority.....parts are being produced fast! Unfortunately, almost every Airplane manufacturer is chinese owned In US....even Cirrus :/
As someone with no flying knowledge, i try to follow the communications, but struggle to understand some of the terminology. Would you ever consider doing a video explaining some of the terminology used frequently to help understand what exactly is being said? or do you have any links to helpful materials to aid in the understanding of what exactly is being said? i love the videos you bring out, it's truly an amazing thing to hear - as we never see/hear just how much goes into something like a taxing to gate/taxi or clearing for landing! I always thought flying was incredible and not something that should be thought as easy, but with all the additional verbal jargon it's just given me a whole new appreciation for the ATC and pilots!
It's so hard to get everything perfect in an emergency, but the only thing you really have to do right is walk away from the landing, and that is a job REALLY well done here.
Even before reading the pinned comment I was a bit scared of high altitude and how much energy needed to be bled out. Fortunately it is a relatively tiny plane and the Pilot knew what they were doing. Not to mention oil all over the windows that reduced visibility - I'm not a panicky guy, but IDK if I would be so calm in that situation. Thankfully everything ended up okay. I assume Runway had to be cleaned, but otherwise I hope that everything is covered by some insurance. Plane seems to be repairable. GREAT JOB!
Well done Gentlemen. As an FAA Investigator said to me after a successful emergency landing, "It looks like you just had your test and passed it!" Best of luck in the future!
I've never worked on an aircraft before, but auto engines get pretty damn loud before they make such a dramatic exit. I wonder if it was drowned out by how loud they are normally.
@@elguapo1690 Aircraft engines do tend to make a lot of noise. Exhaust silencing is minimal if present at all, and the prop itself drones pretty loudly as well. Takeoff and initial climb is also the most stressful time for the engine, so it could be that a crack started in earnest on that particular takeoff and reached failure point a few minutes later.
I had an engine failure last summer - my first ever in many years of flying. I called an emergency and the funny thing is you don't panic as you might expect you would when it all goes quiet - your training just kicks in and you go through the process of getting it down. Lucky enough I found a nice big field and dropped it in with a normal glide approach after manoeuvering to lose height. The problem was a temporary fuel one and once that was rectified I was able to take off from the field and fly back to my departure airfield. That was a crazy time. Due to related problems while preparing the aircraft for ferrying from the UK to France I also had a partial EF after take off and had managed to do a hairy 180 back at low level for a fast downwind landing. Luckily when I got to the root of the problems (incorrect fuel tubing of too small diameter and a failing ignition stator coil) the aircraft was fine and got me across the English Channel and down to south-west France.
wow... 75f was stepped on by the controller advising the 6043 to turn left to avoid 75F. He already had it planned out to give 75F clearance LT to Dulles at this point... that's a really good controller...
One thing that really impresses me with these videos is how much the ATC folks have to juggle. Yes, we know you need to focus on this emergency, but first you need to keep these other ten planes from crashing into each other... It's just very impressive multitasking.
It is strange after listening to multiple plane emergencies on this channel to have one occur at one of my local airports. When I was a kid, almost nothing was built around Dulles airport, now the area is packed, Great Work!
looks like the motor threw a rod out the block judging by the hole in the cowling. Good job keeping it together and making the landing. Must have been a very stressful situation, Glad everyone is ok!
The student pilot commented below that this was his refresher flight as he's a bit "rusty". This immortal quote from "Airplane!" comes to mind - "Looks like I picked the wrong day to..."
Great job! If the instructor or student read this, I do have a question.... I'm curious as to why you filed to leave via the JANSEN gate versus the FLUKY gate which would put you on course for Charlottesville? (Background for those not familiar with flying around Washington, DC. SFRA - Special flight rules area) Every aircraft operating within 30NM of Washington have to have a discrete transponder code preassigned before you enter the SFRA and be in contact with ATC. VFR flights have to file a special type of flight plan that looks like a IFR flight plan, but isn't. There are eight predefined "gateways" or arcs that let ATC the general direction that you want to leave (or enter) the SFRA.
Hi jcl410, good question. I was the student on this flight. I'm a rusty pilot who quit flying about the same time the SFRA was originally enacted, so this trip was all about getting some experience with the DC SFRA. Elected JASEN gate and a northbound departure (rather then RWY 30) in preparation of an upcoming flight to Leesburg as that path nearly overflies KJYO and I simply wanted to get my eyes on it.
ER landing with blown engine while the cockpit window is covered with oil. What more, he also makes an effort to vacate the runway! Real pro, steel balls. Grats to the student as well, kept the communication properly with cool head.
Great job to the CFI in this incident. Great job. Damn that engine looked awful in the pictures at the end of this video. Threw a rod, or blew an entire cylinder... What the hell made the engine go ka-pow like that? (As a CFI, that's was always one of my biggest "dear lord, please don't let me f#&k up" kinda flights. Ugh, actual engine failure with a student. But one silver lining... That student got a great education that day. The student's seen a real emergency and should be able to take care of business if ever faced with that again. Whew, good job CFI not getting dead.
Always interesting to see how the controllers react abs the stress mistakes they make. Not meant to be a criticism in any way, just an interesting insight into human factors
hannonik Maybe mistake is the wrong word. Just little things that come out due to the stress like half clearing him for a visual approach then clearing him to land (which he did twice). Correcting himself on departure freq he was giving. Again, just an observation about the stress that must kick in in these scenarios for ATC.
@@expataviator7107 Yeah that stuff does happen. Had a few emergencies till now, however the one that stood out the most for me was one where a pilot reported smoke in the cockpit. Stuttered a few transmissions to other pilots and then cleared the emergency aircraft for the wrong runway at first :D (27R instead of 26). I guess in these situations with all the coordination going around "off tape" and so much to think about that can happen sometimes.
That was a nightmare scenario with ASH4063 below the Mooney when the engine quit. Nice job of ATC jumping all over that immediate situation. ASH4063 seemed more rattled by the emergency than the Mooney pilot.

Second guess all you want, but understand that the ability to second guess yourself means that you did an excellent job.

Hat off to that amazing job , and one in life time “real engine failure training “ to your student ...
No need to second guess. Everyone walked away and even better, no bent metal upon landing. Fantastic job.
Great Job👍👍

That quality was amazing
One thing that really impresses me with these videos is how much the ATC folks have to juggle. Yes, we know you need to focus on this emergency, but first you need to keep these other ten planes from crashing into each other... It's just very impressive multitasking.
Well done to both the pilots and ATC.
It is strange after listening to multiple plane emergencies on this channel to have one occur at one of my local airports. When I was a kid, almost nothing was built around Dulles airport, now the area is packed, Great Work!
In 1968 Dulles was in the middle of absolutely nowhere.... What some 20-30+ miles out of town? All I remember it was a looong way to the Belway...
Handled properly and professionally.
Good jobs all around.
Glad you could glide it back.
looks like the motor threw a rod out the block judging by the hole in the cowling. Good job keeping it together and making the landing. Must have been a very stressful situation, Glad everyone is ok!
Now THAT'S a blown engine. Nice job pilot getting your wounded bird back to the nest.
That is how you do it ladies and gentlemen......TOP FLIGHT🤙🤙🛩
Awesome cool headed flying in a potentially tough situation. Good work.
These videos are always so short and sweet;
Well, certainly didnt have to waste any time going through the restart procedure. Well done guys.
saving this as a perfect example of what to do when things go wrong
Very nice job to the pilots and to the controllers as well
Nice job you have a good training!
Jeez. Those pictures are brutal.
The student pilot commented below that this was his refresher flight as he's a bit "rusty". This immortal quote from "Airplane!" comes to mind - "Looks like I picked the wrong day to..."
Well Played Sir, Well Played. In a pinch, any runway will do, even if opposite direction.
Great job managing emergency. 🙏🏻 I never have such an emergency
Nice work everyone!
Awesome Pilot and ATC.
Great job. Very busy airspace and I always considered the cControllers my friends. They are some awesome people. ❤️
Great job! If the instructor or student read this, I do have a question.... I'm curious as to why you filed to leave via the JANSEN gate versus the FLUKY gate which would put you on course for Charlottesville?
(Background for those not familiar with flying around Washington, DC. SFRA - Special flight rules area)
Every aircraft operating within 30NM of Washington have to have a discrete transponder code preassigned before you enter the SFRA and be in contact with ATC. VFR flights have to file a special type of flight plan that looks like a IFR flight plan, but isn't. There are eight predefined "gateways" or arcs that let ATC the general direction that you want to leave (or enter) the SFRA.
Hi jcl410, good question. I was the student on this flight. I'm a rusty pilot who quit flying about the same time the SFRA was originally enacted, so this trip was all about getting some experience with the DC SFRA. Elected JASEN gate and a northbound departure (rather then RWY 30) in preparation of an upcoming flight to Leesburg as that path nearly overflies KJYO and I simply wanted to get my eyes on it.
@@kyleheld7341 That explains it! :-) -Thanks for the quick reply...
John
@@kyleheld7341 I would love to hear your take on this, or have I missed it?
Good quick action taken. Maybe luck with sufficient altitude. 👍👍👍
ER landing with blown engine while the cockpit window is covered with oil. What more, he also makes an effort to vacate the runway! Real pro, steel balls.
Grats to the student as well, kept the communication properly with cool head.
Thank you very much for a clean and to the point video with subtitles.
That’s how VAS does it...which explains the site’s popularity
@@inshallamiami ohh kewl then I will look for a VAS channel or website as on this channel here more often simulator images are added.
Nice landing ..Peter retired QANTAS Captain
Great job to the CFI in this incident. Great job. Damn that engine looked awful in the pictures at the end of this video. Threw a rod, or blew an entire cylinder... What the hell made the engine go ka-pow like that? (As a CFI, that's was always one of my biggest "dear lord, please don't let me f#&k up" kinda flights. Ugh, actual engine failure with a student. But one silver lining... That student got a great education that day. The student's seen a real emergency and should be able to take care of business if ever faced with that again. Whew, good job CFI not getting dead.
Looks like the pistons decided that they needed some freedom. Great reaction.
Dang! That thing blowed up good! Great job!
Glad to hear everyone was okay. Looking at the one picture, looked like one of the pistons wanted a bit more altitude.
Well, that airframe will fly again. Great job Pilot.
The whole situation dealt with professionally by all involved with the desired outcome.
Very professional job all around.
Amazing focus from the Pilot. Thats some scary shit, been there. Well done.
Excellent job. I’ll bet the forward slip scared the bejevers out of your student though. Kudos.
That engine went full Marvin the Martian...
Great job by all!!!
Makings of a pro, "when all about you are losing their mind and you can keep your mind under control..."
"If you can keep your head when all about you/Are losing theirs, and blaming it on you...."
Bravo Zulu! Both Pilot and ATC
Nice job. Nice job indeed
That engine REALLY threw a rod! It blew a HOLE through the bonnet!
Always interesting to see how the controllers react abs the stress mistakes they make. Not meant to be a criticism in any way, just an interesting insight into human factors
What mistake did he do though
hannonik Maybe mistake is the wrong word. Just little things that come out due to the stress like half clearing him for a visual approach then clearing him to land (which he did twice). Correcting himself on departure freq he was giving. Again, just an observation about the stress that must kick in in these scenarios for ATC.
@@expataviator7107 Yeah that stuff does happen. Had a few emergencies till now, however the one that stood out the most for me was one where a pilot reported smoke in the cockpit. Stuttered a few transmissions to other pilots and then cleared the emergency aircraft for the wrong runway at first :D (27R instead of 26). I guess in these situations with all the coordination going around "off tape" and so much to think about that can happen sometimes.
I think the second cleared to land instruction was simply intended as reassurance for the pilot
Jenny Mulholland yeah totally agree. Not that he had much choice in that moment :).
Didn’t know planes could sneeze hahaha! Glad they’re safe :)
I think I would class that more a shart than a sneeze.
Good job. Nobody lost their live.
Wow! Blew two holes right through the cowl when the engine let go.
Watching this channel has taught me two things... never fly in a mooney, and never fly in a bonanza...
That was a nightmare scenario with ASH4063 below the Mooney when the engine quit. Nice job of ATC jumping all over that immediate situation. ASH4063 seemed more rattled by the emergency than the Mooney pilot.
