- Ride Along on this rare opportunity to view an emergency in flight where we had engine failure on our left engine in Golden Eagle Cessna 421C
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.
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.
@@Jerry.Wagner Still don‘t quite understand, why not landing at the next possible airport (Eugene). Why was Medford more attractive to you?
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!!!
"Honey . . . I've got to land"
Cool ,calm,and collected……..JOB WELL DONE YOUNG MAN……
I love the wife's commentary...."you can't stuck a valve out of it"!! LOL!! I know the stress and thoughts going through your mind, and the wife seems calm as can be. Good for her.
Nice job staying calm and flying the plane. Declaring an emergency usually gets the heart rate up, adrenaline up and the pucker meter jumping. You handled that perfectly. Glad it all ended well and everyone is safe.
Stayed calm and focused even during your wife’s irrelevant questions (most likely she was nervous too). Too many people get flustered and snap at others during these stressful events. This shows how well you handle stress (Excellent!).
I was thinking the same thing. I know and not intentionally I would have said sh*t the f up for once please I need to focus here.
@@nobleroofinggeneralcontrac7961 The Wife needs to learn to fly to shut up her twittering.
@@nobleroofinggeneralcontrac7961
Wow you are one seriously insecure little snowflake
@@lioncurlewyou people are something else. She did fine. I know by your comment you have not had an urgent or emergency situation.
She did a lot better than my passenger who grabbed the yoke in a death grip and tried to turn to the right in a steep bank. That was in a single with oil on the windscreen.
I'd MUCH rather hear about an emergency on your channel than on Dan Gryder or Juan Brown's channels. You handled this emergency perfectly. Thank goodness for redundancy! :D
I'm sure lots of student pilots working toward their multi-engine rating will watch this video in the future. Great job. Looks like you used no flaps.
Well done Jerry! I fly the DC-10 air tanker out of MCC, and sometimes I hear you on Nor-Cal.
Glad you, Nancy and plane are safe. We have a 340 we are rehabbing and started watching your channel to pick up some twin Cessna tips. I have learned a bunch about twin Cessnas from your content. Keep up the good work. Happy you made it safely.
10 Tanker?
@@akaknowlesy10 yep
The beauty of a twin, maintaining flight to an airfield during an engine failure versus landing on a field or road.
Glad you landed safe and well done!
Thanks for the share.
I was taught that in twin operations after 1 engine failure /precautionary shutdown, the live engine will escort you to the scene of the accident 🙈
as always the calm and proficient manner and real skills well done
Great decision making Jerry. The power of the twin made it a lot safer of a situation. Better to have 2 engine than 1. Glad your all safe
My instinct would have been to immediately look for the closest appropriate airport given the terrain and the fact that you're now a single engine twin.
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.
That was his initially but sorted it out rationally. Not a time to make poor decisions.
Excellent job Jerry. Calm, great decision making and no hesitation in declaring an emergency. Your years of experience were most evident. I hope your repairs get done in a timely manner. Stay safe.
That was really smart to tell the whole sequence of events to ATC so they have it on record if things go bad. I never would have thought to do that. Great work!
YES!
Glad you both are safe and sound Jerry!! You always talk about the power of the twin, sure glad you had the right engine to get you safely to the runway!!
Well done Jerry. Glad you guys made it in safe and sound. This is a great example of how it should be done. You, ATC, Tower, Fire. It doesn't get much better than this. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. This will be helpful to someone (maybe me) some day.
So glad you and Nancy landed safely. Thank you for sharing your experience, while you made it look easy I’m sure you were under a LOT of pressure! Take care, looking forward to hearing what caused left engine problem as you find out more.
Terrific video, glad it all worked out. Great you kept your cool 🤗
Nicely done. Safe landing and you kept calm.
Wow!!! Nicely done sir. That'll definitely wake you up, but you were as cool as a cucumber. Glad you're both safe.
You did a great job. My dad flew a 421c for 15 years 58ZP had 3 engine failures nose gear failure and a split flap failure
Jerry - this is a great training tool for others to see and learn from. Well done.
Hey Jerry,
Glad everything worked out so well, just like you always say “good to have two engines”. Keep us posted on the repairs please. Best of luck
Man: damn there is oil spill everywhere, half engine power, hopefully I make it down and live.
Woman: I am going to be late for dinner and it's damn hot in here. Turn the damn AC on.
Glad you made it down safe. Thanks for sharing.
Calm and professional. Well done. Having that extra engine is well worth the investment.
Great job Jerry--outstanding how you prioritized about 1) not changing anything that was currently working, and that 2) didn't need to be addressed right at point. I was very impressed with how calm you stayed, and the fact that your wife was very "matter of fact" about things tells me that she was reassured by how you handled the situation. You are a credit to airmen, and thanks for posting this video. It's a great learning aid!
(Nice avionics too, by the way!)
You're an inspiration Jerry. Good job staying calm.
That is the way you do it. Know your plane. Know how to fly it. Good job.
I had an engine out on climb out at about 11,000ft in a Navajo in 1987 from Milan Linate in severe clear VMC. Diverted to Torino and landed w/o problems after an ILS in visual conditions. Was happy we were not over the Alps yet though 😅 Good job !
Glad you guys made it and landed on a good runway! Very interesting watching how smoothly you handled the in-flight emergency! Your wife was having full faith that you would be landing without a problem! In spite of a few non-priority questions she did awesome handling the situation! Most wives would have been panicking if this type of failure occurred!
Man, nice job. You have taken a lot of heat over the time you have put out videos of your flights maybe this will shut some of that down. Textbook video on how to handle this emergency. Great work!!!
Well done Jerry, Glad to see that you and the Miss's made it down safely, and cool as a cucumber throughout the ordeal.
Nicely done. Calm at all times and Nancy handled it very well.
Very nice piloting Jerry. Very professional and handle it like a Boss. I am very glad that Nancy and you made it safe.
I just lost an engine in my pressurized Baron 2 Saturdays ago at FL180. My wife, 2 kids and her mother on board.
I was on my way to Kissimmee from WV. While over the ocean, IMC, I lost my turbo on my left engine and then the oil pressure kept going down. I did an engine shut down and landed at Daytona International.
Of course, Daytona race weekend. All went well but my wallet. I had and oil line rupture.
Odd we both had a critical engine losses within a week apart. We both were winners! No one hurt, no bent metal.
Good job Randy. Interesting, in my 16K hours never had an engine failure.
Maybe Nancy could have been occupied reviewing the engine failure/single engine checklists with you. Good job keeping a cool head.👏
That Medford tower atc is as good as they get! You were lucky to have him.
GREAT JOB JERRY, YOU WROTE THE BOOK ON THAT STUFF. I'M SO HAPPY YOUR ALL SAFE! GOD 🙌 BLESS.
Great job Jerry. Emergency handled like a pro. All the people commenting on what the wife is saying don’t understand that this woman knows her man and what she is saying may seem arbitrary or distracting to them but she is instinctively saying exactly what her husband needs to hear to feel empowered to do what he needs to do. And some of her comments are her concerns coming out in a stressful situation. You should both be very proud of how you handled such a high stress situation.
flight sim enthusiast here, i watched every minute of this and loved it. i know it wasn't the best circumstance for yourselves but you sure seemed like you did a good job. new sub here. i think ill enjoy seeing how the "real" pilots do it and will help add a bit of context to my sim trips. cheers
Nicely done Captain! You were the right pilot for the job that day! Glad you and your wife are safe.
It's called airmanship. Nicely Done!!!
Handled that like a champ in my opinion! You kept calm and made sure you didn't get slow or make drastic power changes. I also think leaving the good engine alone was a very wise decision. I'm so sorry this happened to you but at least it turned out ok for the most part. As always thanks for sharing the videos with us all brother.
OUCH, broken piston! That's going to leave a mark!!! Jerry the calm, cool and collected master at the controls!!! Gr8 job!
Good job, I thought my wife was the only one with 64 questions 3 miles out or when talking to ATC 😂
Jerry , thanks for sharing all your years of flying and training shows how safe you are ,
Glad you’re safely on the ground 😊
This is why I watch you. I learn something every singal time. Today I Learned calmness under pressure. Outstanding job sir! I hope to shake your hand some day.....
Great Job Jerry! Cool, Calm, Collected and by the numbers all the way to the maint shop :) Glad to know you both arrived safely and appreciate you sharing this vid!
You are one cool customer Jerry ! And Nancy !
Nice job Jerry. You were handling the situation very cool and calmly. Boy that piston looked banged up. I’ll be anxious to see what they find inside. Should be an easy fix. A new lung and piston and you’ll be on the roll again. If there’s anything suspicious they’ll have to dig deeper. Cross your fingers. Nice job getting that wounded bird down. You know what they say “Any landing you can walk away from was a good landing.
Sounds like an echo in here but... Well done Jerry.
Good job Jerry. Very cool under a stressful situation. Very fortunate that happened in flight and not on T/O. Remember, if you lose an engine on T/O, first move is to "PUSH".
Very calm, but decisive focus demeanor and professionalism.
Great job and your wife handled the situation very calmly.
Over and out from Piqua Ohio.
Clearly the best instruction everybody should follow in same situation.
@5:32 "Your life is more important than a few dollars." - a great statement to reduce/suppress the temptations of "get-home-itis".
OK"""" I got to land Honey"""" Like a butterfly with sore feet! Great Job!!
Nicely done! The most accurate comment during the entire experience:
"Your life is more important than a few dollars."
That is absolutely right. I completely applaud and respect your decision-making right there. That is the greatest sign of an experienced, mature, and wise person. Good on you for that!
Superb textbook work on your part and ATC. You are a remarkable professional pilot. I'd fly with you any time. You worked with your wife well also. So glad for a safe landing.
Best Regards & Safe Flying. Thank You for sharing this wonderful example of how to handle an emergency.
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! 😊
“ engine failures are a rare occurrence that almost never happens. The second engine just takes you to the scene of the crash” - every single engine plane owner ever
What an amazing video! Better then a thriller movie!
Happy Holidays!
Great Job ❤ Glad you and your family are ok.
2 things. Always stay above Blue Line Airspeed on final. IF you HAD to go around single engine you would be in a precarious position.
Always have a glideslope dialed in so the Flight Director can give you help and altitude crossing heights. Especially at night. That may be tied into your avionics- I don’t fly that brand.
We had an engine failure at 2am, IMC, full load of passengers in Mountainous Terrain and had to shoot a VOR approach. Hydroplaned down the runway-got it stopped 10 feet before the end. I remember the adrenaline. 😅 Thankfully we had a 2 pilot crew. Was flying a B-1900D.
Engine Out, reduced flaps for landing and when reducing power all your trim you put in makes in harder to wrestle.
Glad you are safe. 🎉
Great job captain Wagner! Kept your cool, followed safe procedures and chose wisely! I was impressed with Nancy's reaction to the emergency as well. As my instructor used to say "good job"!
Wow that was amazing how your guys was so calm and effective. God bless your safe. Great job Jerry
Man, what a great job Pilot and ATC. That couldn’t have been done any better
Nicely done...handling the emergency AND doing the video!
Glad you guys made it safe and sound…
Excellent handling and congratulatiins for your presence of mibd in giving us a lecture during just such an emergency. It would be interesting to hear your feedback on what you would have done had this problem presented itself at takeoff which clearly a lot more complications.
Glad you and Nancy are ok! True professional Jerry
So true... when you have a problem don't compound it by changing anything. US Navy 1970-74
Cool, calm and collected!! You folks are amazing. God bless you.
Well done.. I flew in a C421 at Yserplaat Air Base Cape Town South Africa ZS-OIL many years ago. Beautiful aircraft.
Totally agree about not touching anything! Not sure how the 421 handles single engine, but I flew the 402 for a while. Not ideal on single engine…. Great job!
Thanks for sharing Jerry !!!!!!!!!!!!
about 1300 ft, I am sweating when your speed is below the blue line, then a couple seconds, you just touched the ground. excellent Jerry
Jerry, it's snowing and I can't think of a better way to spend the day...by watching your videos....❤
Glad to have you along, get well soon !
Well done Jerry, nothing like a little "mayday" to put some "excitement" into the flying experience !
Great work! God bless!!!!
Well handled, sir. Definitely impressed with your knowledge of the systems on your aircraft.
awesome job! I know that feeling in the golden eagle when one decides to check out, don't touch nothing else that's working. lol
Fantastic job Jerry and kudos to Nancy for staying calm. Nothing like the real thing to learn from so thanks for sharing!
Jerry (your signguy here) so glad you're OK, bro'! I think it's obvious there is a great case to be made for having TWO FRIGGIN' ENGINES in spite of what some people say. Stay safe!!
Hi Jerry, cool video. I think your original decision to land at KEUG was correct. I personally (ex C414 driver) would not have flown another 100NM to the south to KMFR over rugged terrain to get closer to my home base. IMHO the safest option was to land at the nearest suitable airport which was KEUG which has long runways and repair facilities.
The FAR below may well mandate discontinuing the flight as soon as possible...
§91.7 Civil aircraft airworthiness.
(a) No person may operate a civil aircraft unless it is in an airworthy condition.
(b) The pilot in command of a civil aircraft is responsible for determining whether that aircraft is in condition for safe flight. The pilot in command shall discontinue the flight when unairworthy mechanical, electrical, or structural conditions occur.
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 Understandable it was a close call on the decision making, and perhaps you could call me too conservative. In general I find our (as in us humans ;) first hunch is the right call then we start second guessing and often get into trouble.
Let me play devil's advocate a moment. What if the oil leak hit a hot pipe and ignited a fire? There have been so many accidents caused by a delayed reaction to an issue, which is why I've adopted an extremely conservative policy regarding precautionary landings etc. and to try to trust my first gut instinct when there is a problem.
I appreciate your willingness to discuss the issue and hopefully this is al useful fodder for the readers. Every time we have a chance to think about situations we become better pilots.
My Golden Eagle has engine fire extinguishers that you activate by a push of a button, it's on the checklist to check before every flight.
@@Jerry.Wagner That is good. I've always liked the idea of fire extinguishers.
Amazing job! Stayed calm, focused, and great communication! Thank you for sharing this….working on my PPL now!
Excellent handling of the emergency and your wife is a great copilot!!
Wow! You two are so calm.
Thanks for taking us along with you.
I’ve had two engine outs on C421. Airplane handled well……good old bird. His point about making no changes in power settings or engine driven accessories should be noted by all amateur pilots.
Solid flight management in the face of the unexpected. Thanks for the learning experience and for posting.,
Hell of a job sir! 10/10
I am glad everything turned out as well as it could. Great Job!
Outstanding video, you sir are the king of cool … thank you for sharing and my warmest regards to you bride.
That is the kind of controller you want during an emergency
Calm and professional
Good job handling this emergency. Glad that you are down safely. Well done.
Kudos to you, great job, and thank you for sharing your experience and how to do it properly for teaching us all.
I had to laugh out loud when you where on final and "focusing" when your wife was asking about number of runways - "Ok, I gotta land honey ...". What a trooper she is and sounds like a wonderful flying family.
You gotta love Jerry's wife, she has all the confidence in the world in her man. That is awesome! I was expecting her to make lunch reservations and ask Jerry where he wants to eat. No stress what so ever! beautiful!
Well flown, you handled the engine and other situations superbly.
You Handled That Like A Pro, Good Landing and Safe Flying
9/20/22. Great video of left engine out at altitude; your handling emergency was very calm & professional. ATC controllers were also clear & focused in their prioritizing you thru handoff to Medford Tower where professional handling your emergency was ever present. A+ to all...Great job Jerry, great video. Glad you, wife & A/C are all secure. New engine gotta cost a bundle. Super glass panel instrument display especially that virtual screen showing runway 14...just great instruments. Thx again for this 'real world' aviation video!👍👍👍👍👍🛠⚙🛩😊
Thank you God for keeping them safe!
