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? R. -- Thank You, Ryan "G.R.

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. So keeping the engine on board is crucial for W&B. At what point does the vibration necessitate a shutdown? 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." George Patterson This marriage is off to a shaky start.
