Re: Interesting Single Otter Accident

Very strange. An FCU failure usually leaves the engine at low power. I have had to use Emergency power a couple times. Not sure why that would not work in this case?

Re: I had partial engine failure and I need advice regarding paperwork

Couple things.
-Did the AME enter a rectification in the logbook?
-it was almost certainly pilot error.
-you should pursue a new career path.

Re: DHC-3T Lost in WA Puget Sound

So. The way this part works. Is it safe to assume the ring was in but came off at some point shortly before the accident? Would it have then spun off with a few turns of the wheel?

Re: Missing plane Wawa

After 3 decades of float flying I don't fly outside gliding distance from a road, in my wheelplane anymore. It makes me feel claustrophobic, even on a sunny day. Takes me a little longer to get around, but if your in a VFR single engine plane are you really in that big hurry? The stretch from Sault ...
