That's Shammattawa, MB (ZTM), east of YTH. It's known for having the most beautiful girls in all of central Canada! Pukatawagon is a close 2nd.

Uhhhhhhhhhhh.

There was an engine failure in ZTM. The crew did a fantastic job as they are trained to do.

The one in Winnipeg wasn't an engine failure. And it wasn't doing a run up. It was doing an NTS test.

There ya go.

Hi Dave and Trevor. (CP and Ops Mgr.) See ya tomorrow. Unless I get scared and don't come in.

so what is V1 or the "committed" speed of the Metro in ZTM? and at what speed did the chip detector light come on and the oil pressure plummit?

Don't know if this is true or not, but I also heard that the pax evacuated, and did so themselves out the door with the engine still running. Like I said, only rumor.

That's what all the singles ads say. There's a huge hot white chick population in Pik, too. They never seem to fly out, though.

On the Metro II there is no V1. So VR would be your committed speed.

Chip detector light never came on.

Sure there's a V1! It's the speed at which you think it just might fly, and you just KNOW it aint going to stop!!

Good point. I call that speed VMC +1.

It can't be true. It must be a lie. Surely everyone is dead. A PC12 pilot once told me that, "engine failures were more dangerous in twins than in PC12s. Everyone will be dead if an engine fails during takeoff in a twin. Especially in a BE10 or a Metro II. Whereas, in a single..."

Even if everyone IS alive, surely they're thinking, "if only we'd have been in a single engine airplane and had the engine failure. We'd be so much better off right now because we would have had 1 million "G" seats for the crash..."

Amongst the engine failure/emergency, I am sure they managed to sqweak out a useless radio call, telling us they how far north of Winnipeg they are!

On a serious note, nobody hurt= job well done.
