@jimmy Burnett fire extinguishers. Trevor Jacob bailed out of his plane with a fire extinguisher strapped to each leg under his trousers so that if his crashed plane caught fire he had a chance of putting it out.
I'm very happy to hear that the engine shop is standing behind his work. That's really good to know that he's a honorable and ethical businessman. There are so few like him these days that he should be recognized and recommended to others. I know that if I lived in your area I wouldn't hesitate to bring my engine work to his shop.
Owning the mistake is key. Be it a business or an employee that works for you, if they own the mistake and learned from it give them a second chance. Very unlikely that same mistake will be made again.
No choice man, catastrophic failure on a new overhaul, if it goes to court all storage, legal, and repair fees are an absolute win plus damages. You would be stupid to take this to court as afterwards it would cost you 10 times what the repair would. It's not ethics they wanted to stay in the industry. And no in aviation one time is too many would never use their service, are you kidding me.
@@themanthemyththelegend1392 I disagree over the one time is too many comment. No single shop will ever be perfect 100% of the time because us humans are inherently imperfect. You have a choice: A) the shop that has made a mistake took care of it and improved their processes to reduce the chance of a reoccurrence. and B) the shop that has not made a catastrophic mistake yet.
I DIED LAUGHING when I saw the extinguishers on your legs!!!!! I know where THAT came from! (Trevor).. WOW that engine really tore itself up! That is wonderful that the shop is being so accommodating to you!
Love the fire extinguishers! I’m encouraged to hear that your engine shop is helping to correct the problem. I hope it fell under their insurance. I wish I was having the same experience with my fuel tank repair shop!😖 Good to hear that some shops have integrity.
I’m glad to hear the shop is doing the right thing, and making go for a misfortunate mistake or mishap, happier still it didn’t cost you your plane or your life. It’s also nice to hear they are changing policy to eliminate that from happening again. Rather than broadcasting their name maybe they can just have you be a reference for them, when they have clients looking for that. That sounds like a shop worth using. I’m also glad you don’t have to pull a Trevor, but at least you’re prepared, just in case.
I agree. I would absolutely trust that shop based on these events. Everybody makes mistakes, but how a company responds when they happen says a lot about them.
I am totally fed up with Trevor comment videos.....Your ending is PERFECT!!!! The question is did it blow up and you jumped out.....you did such a good job landing it last time....who posted this video??? Whoever posted this, THANKS you made my day!
Glad everything turned out well and what a stand-up move for the engine shop to make everything right. Love the dig at the end....don't forget the selfie stick!
Dude how you kept a straight face walking through the gate with those fire extinguishers jangling! 🤣 Brilliant! So glad to hear you are getting your engine sorted and thanks for taking the time to explain and step through what happened. 👍 Well done
I've seen a few of those counterweights come off over the years. There is an array of different configurations depending engine part number. Even the pins have different part numbers depending on position. It would be very easy to mess up installing the circlip retaining the plates and consequently the pins. We include a duplicate inspection on those circlips during assembly to avoid the issue you have experienced. Good to hear that the shop stepped up and did what they needed to do. Love the extinguisher pants!
I am a retired Airline Pilot, Flight Instructor, Check Airman, and FAA designee. IMHO Your decision to return to the airport, even though you were well aware of the common instructor pilot admonition against that was obviously the correct decision. I was really pleased to see you point out the empty field in front of you and your explanation of why you did not choose it. That instantaneous decision your good situational awareness and feel for the airplane at that time, I believed saved your life.I loved your reporting and documentation of the event. I wish all pilots were as well prepared for an engine failure as you were. Congratulations or a Great Job well done.
I'm glad to hear the shop had stand by their work (and more), especially when there was a major failure. I hope the shop get's more business due to their integrity.
Great update! I am glad the shop is taking care of you and the lawyers are not feasting on this. That ending was brilliant. I was laughing out loud. Good flying.
The owner of that engine shop needs to be commended. Most places will just demy until you can prove its their fault. Not only did he take full responsibility, hes replacing the emgine and overhauling all asociated components. Hats off to that man.
Very nice that they stood by it and provided a brand new engine. That might be 100k$ or more. If you ever get tired of the high cost of older birds, consider an LSA. Runs on mogas, 5x lower hourly cost, similar in maintenance. Some even have ballistic chutes. Look for great glide and climb, makes the impossible turn easy.
A very nice concise explanation about what happened to your engine and all the data collected. The end of the video got your mother scared again and now you have to deal with her again. Also that parachute is way too small for someone your size, I know since I have much experience jumping out of perfectly good aircraft and helicopters, get a bigger chute or your landing is going to be much harder than an airplane crash! Been there, done that, got the bad knees to show for it (no T Shirt though).
Good that everything worked out for you. That the engine shop is standing behind their work and replacing the FFW is great. It's also a lot cheaper than what it would have cost them if your response was just a bit slower in handling that engine failure in flight had ended with an uncontrolled impact. You have handled this incredibly well and with far better attitude than most. Oh that end scene!
BAAAwaaaaahahahahahahaha!!! I love the trevor ending!!!!! It was great meeting you in Ft. Worth a few weeks ago. You have a captivating story about how all this went down. Keep those cameras running!
40 years ago, my retired air force instructor told me that an engine will usually fail at the first power reduction, so don’t adjust before reaching 1000 ft agl. I have always flown my aircraft accordingly
I’ve been waiting to hear the results. You may remember that I said the problem that produced the metal in the oil had to be in the bottom end. I’m very happy to hear that the shop took responsibility and stood by their work. Looking forward to seeing how the test flight goes.
Looks like a happy ending of that saga, good luck with your engine break-in/test flights. BTW, nothing I saw you do and nothing I saw in the data indicates that you could have caused this or even triggered it. Most engines that go to 2700 RPM can do that for several minutes during climb-out with no problem, a lot of engines can run at 2700 all day. Reducing RPM during takeoff won't hurt a thing. Small mixture changes like you did are insignificant - you were running at 30GPH which is way more than enough for that engine/power setting. This was 100% not your fault. Break in the overhauled engine just like continental recommends and you'll be fine, assuming the shop did the work correctly. I really hope they did, and you get 2000 or more hours out of this new engine. Check out Mike Busch's webinars and books if you want to learn more about how to manage your engine.
I'm glad the engine shop did the right thing ,and replaced everything. I am looking forward to your test flight . And I want to see how your new interior looks when that is done!
I am so happy for you that the engine shop did the honorable thing and remedied their mistake with regards to your engine. I sincerely hope that your test flight was uneventful and that you have regained full confidence once again in your aircraft. I enjoyed your video and look forward to your next one.
@@grayrabbit2211 HUGE delays in parts right now :( Lycoming told me over a YEAR wait for the cylinders I needed. Luckily Millennium was about to provide some within 3 months.
@@austinformedude We're currently waiting on parts from Cessna as well and it's been at least a 5 month wait there. If you think that's bad, I was asking Lenovo (computers) about new servers. Some of the configurations would be delayed by more than 60 weeks. By that time they'd be well outdated! Our Lenovo rep smartly suggested we buy on the used market to hold us over until (if?) things get back to normal.
@@austinformedude Oh, I've known that for some time. On the IT side of things, I've always been given crap for keeping old "junk" around. I keep enough spare parts on-hand and redundancy to rebuild everything once over. It was immensely helpful over the past two years. It's great peace of mind being able to pillage my own parts stash rather than worrying about locksdowns, supply chain and shipping breakdowns, etc.
Oh, we're just going to ignore that CHT readouts lag the actual temperatures in the engine? Despite going to idle power the CHT's all rise and stay elevated for the next 14 seconds that you show us. Fuel pressure does not = fuel flow and when it comes to keeping your CHT in a safe range isn't that all that matters? Despite fixing your mistake, your fuel flows never recovered... My main experience flying right now is only chucking skydivers out the door and I've only had to break in one 0 hour cylinder at a time, but that 0.5gph on climb power would be more than enough to put my engine in the red. From what I've seen I think you're very lucky the repair shop is taking care of you so generously! If it's still in the shop maybe get them to change the color and shape of your prop control? Loved the fire extinguisher and parachute bit, but not the blaming everyone else.
Thanks for watching, the hottest any cylinder got was #3 continued to climb to 370F for 17 samples or 18 seconds after the engine let go. "Official red line" is 460F for this engine. While they were fixing it, we replaced all of the engine control cables with new McFarlane cables, they are very smooth and the propeller not is bright blue instead of black like the original.
Good to hear it went that way with the shop, did you have to take a lawyer or did they accept their responsibility immediately? The sequences where you're talking outside are great. Keep it up and fly safe
lol, love the end. I've already seen a counterweight detach because the circlips, on a Pawnee Brave with a 300 hp Lycoming IO-540. At the time we were lucky that it happened during the routine run-op before takeoff, that hapened about 10hs TMOH. The engine was also destroyed. Enjoy the new engine. Thanks
Awesome update! Glad to hear the shop owner is standing behind is work, but at this point I wouldn't trust him with my lawn mower engine. His shop's poor workmanship could have cost you your life.
WOW!!! Sure glad the poof 😲 happened when/where it did ... before your were up and at a critical altitude. Very pleased the shop stood behind its work and you ended up with a nice Zero Time hamster cage. Cheers, Chuck (NE Florida)
I would not trust a single piece of safety wire from that shop. I'd want a crate engine and it taken care of by another shop. You put your life in the hands of those mechanics, and they literally let you down. I had it happen from an annual where the fuel selector got put back on 180 degrees out and shut my engine down at tank swap. Good thing I had the presence of mind to swap it back, restart and land. All I got out of them was OOPS, but I absolutely filed with the FAA. There's a reason people retire at 67 and being an AP at 80 is just begging to kill someone.
The fact you spent 5 seconds or so leaning the mixture by mistake, before winding the prop back, probably bought you just that little bit of extra altitude you needed to make it back and grease it deadstick onto the runway like a boss!
Great Analysis! Good thing your shop stood up for its mishaps and fixed it. I was cheated and lied to by an FBO whose chief mechanic agreed to perform an engine exchange project on my Piper Archer II. The mechanic delegated his job, without my knowledge or consent. to two new hires who completely screwed up the job that would have been pretty routine: 1. take of the STC-ed McCauley Black Mac Prop 2. Sent it in for a factory-prescribed Overhaul ( was overdue, supposed to happen every 72 mths or 2,000hrs-whichever came first); i3. remove old engine and send back to PennYan; 4 re-install a beautiful, zero-timed, balanced PennYan Aero Lycoming O-360A4M engine and put the fully-overhauled (fixed pitch) MCCauley prop on. Mechanics failed to do proper pre-oiling, remounted the out-run McCauley prop; falsified logbooks : After releasing plane for flight on 1/13/2021 there was NO ENTRY in the propeller logs. I was being charged for 90.1. hours of work performed but had an agreement for a 30-hour labor limitation, worse, the propeller was damaged while in the Custody of the FBO .This was discovered after the plane had to abort its first flight: heavy shakiing of plane; abnormal starter noises, unable to hold idle and NO OIL Pressure....The plane was declared numerous times unairworthy after the aborted flight and the FBO owner and his non-AI-certified mechanic, sent separate letters to me, declaring their own work unairworthy. After removing the unairworthy plane from that FBO, I was stuck with a plane where the next shop had to rely on incomplete/false maintenance records. The FBO Owner first attempted to retrieve $ 8,415- in addition to an already-paid $ 4,800 dollars for incorrect/incomplete and shoddy work. The case, naturally, ended up in the Circuit Court after the plane experienced multiple performance problems, including climbing Copper values on OAs. Finally, a complete tear down had to be performed....still not resolved today
Not many shops would do anything close to this. You sir have a great engine shop keep them in business and help send work to them. Any shop that would do the right thing like this is a keeper 👌
Great! Happy to hear you are getting a complete firewall forward replacement at no cost. Glad to see there are still honest people out there! LOL You did a great job at landing the aircraft when lost power. Now, I little tip for the next flight. Make a plan on where you are going to land if you loose power at any of the "4 runway stages". Adapt the distance and altitude to the performance of you airplane. I mean, literally seating down and making a realistic plan using performance/calculation and thinking you are not going to make it. Make this planing always, especially on airports you never been before. You will be way a head of the game on preparedness if engine quits on you at takeoff. Now, I little tip about your approach to landing when you had power loss. Yes, landing gear down increases drag you loose gliding distance. You know that. But, hey! you were nervous and you made it! Cool. Another issue is this. Few people think about that. Flaps! You had 10 degrees as far as I can see from your video. I guess is that you kept it from taking off, or putting down to land. It doesn't matter. What do we use flaps for? To slow down when landing and when we do it flaps increases drag and slope, consequently less distance gliding. Yes, when engine quits the first thing to do immediately is nose down! fly the aircraft as a glider and FLAPS UP! NO FLAPS! Even 10 degrees will bite on your distance. Yes, you will have more time to think when looking for a good place to land. No flaps gives you longer distance to reach better places to land. Well, and when you are too high for a specific best place to land. Do your spiral down turns and slip is at your discretion as well. Altitude is never bad it's asset! Happy flying! About the engine I have a different take at what was the cause for failure... ;-)
I´m a helicopter pilot, therefore I don´t like planes :-) , but you did any awesome job on your power off landing! I´m very glad to hear that everything is now at zero time on your plane. I almost cried from laughter when I saw the parachute and the fire extinguisher taped on your legs. Hope you had some water with you on the flight because of the long way home :-)
The builder should always have a inspection after the engine is worked on because your life is dependent on that aircraft. Or like i say i do all work myself because i dont trust anyone!
Amazing ending with that cliffhanger... but also screw you... haha. waiting for the next update as if I'm waiting for the next episode of The Walking Dead...
The walk away from the camera is brilliant. Well played sir, well played.
such an amazing subtle nod to our favorite pilot with two first names trevor jacob

WOW!!! Sure glad the poof 😲 happened when/where it did ... before your were up and at a critical altitude. Very pleased the shop stood behind its work and you ended up with a nice Zero Time hamster cage. Cheers, Chuck (NE Florida)
I would not trust a single piece of safety wire from that shop. I'd want a crate engine and it taken care of by another shop. You put your life in the hands of those mechanics, and they literally let you down. I had it happen from an annual where the fuel selector got put back on 180 degrees out and shut my engine down at tank swap. Good thing I had the presence of mind to swap it back, restart and land. All I got out of them was OOPS, but I absolutely filed with the FAA. There's a reason people retire at 67 and being an AP at 80 is just begging to kill someone.
Love the ending!!!!
Great ending....in more ways than one. I'm happy for your outcome. Thank you for sharing. "I always fly with a parachute "......lol
The fact you spent 5 seconds or so leaning the mixture by mistake, before winding the prop back, probably bought you just that little bit of extra altitude you needed to make it back and grease it deadstick onto the runway like a boss!
Great Analysis! Good thing your shop stood up for its mishaps and fixed it. I was cheated and lied to by an FBO whose chief mechanic agreed to perform an engine exchange project on my Piper Archer II. The mechanic delegated his job, without my knowledge or consent. to two new hires who completely screwed up the job that would have been pretty routine: 1. take of the STC-ed McCauley Black Mac Prop 2. Sent it in for a factory-prescribed Overhaul ( was overdue, supposed to happen every 72 mths or 2,000hrs-whichever came first); i3. remove old engine and send back to PennYan; 4 re-install a beautiful, zero-timed, balanced PennYan Aero Lycoming O-360A4M engine and put the fully-overhauled (fixed pitch) MCCauley prop on. Mechanics failed to do proper pre-oiling, remounted the out-run McCauley prop; falsified logbooks : After releasing plane for flight on 1/13/2021 there was NO ENTRY in the propeller logs. I was being charged for 90.1. hours of work performed but had an agreement for a 30-hour labor limitation, worse, the propeller was damaged while in the Custody of the FBO .This was discovered after the plane had to abort its first flight: heavy shakiing of plane; abnormal starter noises, unable to hold idle and NO OIL Pressure....The plane was declared numerous times unairworthy after the aborted flight and the FBO owner and his non-AI-certified mechanic, sent separate letters to me, declaring their own work unairworthy. After removing the unairworthy plane from that FBO, I was stuck with a plane where the next shop had to rely on incomplete/false maintenance records. The FBO Owner first attempted to retrieve $ 8,415- in addition to an already-paid $ 4,800 dollars for incorrect/incomplete and shoddy work. The case, naturally, ended up in the Circuit Court after the plane experienced multiple performance problems, including climbing Copper values on OAs. Finally, a complete tear down had to be performed....still not resolved today
Not many shops would do anything close to this. You sir have a great engine shop keep them in business and help send work to them. Any shop that would do the right thing like this is a keeper 👌
Great! Happy to hear you are getting a complete firewall forward replacement at no cost. Glad to see there are still honest people out there! LOL You did a great job at landing the aircraft when lost power. Now, I little tip for the next flight. Make a plan on where you are going to land if you loose power at any of the "4 runway stages". Adapt the distance and altitude to the performance of you airplane. I mean, literally seating down and making a realistic plan using performance/calculation and thinking you are not going to make it. Make this planing always, especially on airports you never been before. You will be way a head of the game on preparedness if engine quits on you at takeoff.
Now, I little tip about your approach to landing when you had power loss. Yes, landing gear down increases drag you loose gliding distance. You know that. But, hey! you were nervous and you made it! Cool. Another issue is this. Few people think about that. Flaps! You had 10 degrees as far as I can see from your video. I guess is that you kept it from taking off, or putting down to land. It doesn't matter. What do we use flaps for? To slow down when landing and when we do it flaps increases drag and slope, consequently less distance gliding. Yes, when engine quits the first thing to do immediately is nose down! fly the aircraft as a glider and FLAPS UP! NO FLAPS! Even 10 degrees will bite on your distance. Yes, you will have more time to think when looking for a good place to land. No flaps gives you longer distance to reach better places to land. Well, and when you are too high for a specific best place to land. Do your spiral down turns and slip is at your discretion as well. Altitude is never bad it's asset! Happy flying!
About the engine I have a different take at what was the cause for failure... ;-)
Praise God there is a mechanic shop that will literally stand behind their work! I'm very happy for you! BTW you handled that emergency top notch!
I´m a helicopter pilot, therefore I don´t like planes :-) , but you did any awesome job on your power off landing! I´m very glad to hear that everything is now at zero time on your plane. I almost cried from laughter when I saw the parachute and the fire extinguisher taped on your legs. Hope you had some water with you on the flight because of the long way home :-)
The builder should always have a inspection after the engine is worked on because your life is dependent on that aircraft. Or like i say i do all work myself because i dont trust anyone!
Amazing ending with that cliffhanger... but also screw you... haha. waiting for the next update as if I'm waiting for the next episode of The Walking Dead...
Engine failures on takeoff often happen at first engine power change.... I have heard this since I started flying 37 yrs ago.
It's great to hear that your engine guy has taken care of all those problems...I hope everything works great now.
That shop owner stepped up - incredible. Give him some love!
well, it's nice to get $100K of new hardware, and meet an honest man, but LEARN !, and do the initial ground break-in before you fly it again !
