How many of you have memorized all the emergency procedures.


Well, lessee here. I think I have the engine-out down and the fire-in-the-hole one.
I'm also pretty good at the "Ohmygodwherethehellarewe" one. I'm not sure I have the
theres-an-f16-off-the-right-wing one memorized, though. What else do we have?

On a side note, I'm a bit confused about a partial engine failure. Say the
engine loses a valve and runs VERY rough. Should I continue flying with that
engine in hopes of making a runway, or shut the engine down to prevent it
from ripping itself off the airplane and turning me into a large paper
weight.


Well, I kept the engine going until I got it down, but I had a runway in sight. If
there's really serious reason to believe that the engine will depart the aircraft,
get it down ASAP. That plays hell with your W&B.

This marriage is off to a shaky start. The groom just asked the band to
play "Your cheatin' heart", and the bride just requested "Don't come home
a'drinkin' with lovin' on your mind".

True. If your engine fell off the plane you have serious problems. I don't
think you can fly after that - period. So keeping the engine on board is
crucial for W&B. At what point does the vibration necessitate a shutdown?

I read of one case in which they made it down alive. In that case, it was either a
150 or a 172 with a student and CFI on board. They were practicing MCA, so they had
the flaps all the way down. Mid-air collison removed the entire firewall-forward. In
Texas, IIRC.

In my case, one cylinder out of four quit. I have to admit, the vibration was scary,
but she hung together until I got it down, and the engine mounts checked out ok
later.

S'funny. After I shut down, I walked into the FBO. Asked if anyone had a cigarette.
My then-fiance looked at me. "What's this 'cigarette' garbage? You don't smoke."
