Estimated time to complete:
- 60 minutes

Aircraft:
- Beechcraft Baron 58

Objectives:
- Handling one failed-engine scenario in the Baron

 

This Baron is at gross weight. Try the same engine failure. Did you make it? What happens if you rotate at 101 instead of 90 and fail the engine then? It's actually possible to fly this flight and land at an airport without crashing, but it's not easy.and the airport might not be Jeffco.

MISSION'S SCENARIOS

Engine Failure on Takeof with full load

  1. Initial conditions:
    1. You are on the end of Runway 29R.
    2. Winds are light.
    3. Your Baron is at gross weight.
    4. Press "Shift + 4" to open the throttle quadrant.
    5. Place it where you can see it.
  2. Takeof:
    1. Lean the engines before takoff.
    2. Position your cursor on the "OFF" position in the left fuel selector.
    3. Advance both throttles with your joystick or Yoke control, and roll for takeoff.
    4. When you hit VR of 90 knots, rotate for takeoff.
  3. Click your mouse button to cut off the fuel to the left engine.
  4. Success in not crashing requires:
    1. Getting the gear up.
    2. Maintaining blueline.
    3. Feathering that left propeller.
    4. Getting turned away from the rising terrain ahead of you.
  5. You must do these four things quickly and in that order.
  6. Gear up and pitching for 101 knots can happen at once.
  7. Pull the left throttle back (or quickly pump it back and then full forward just in case you grabbed the wrong one).
  8. Pull the left prop control halfway back.
  9. Pause for a heartbeat.
  10. Then pull it to feather.
  11. Turn right into the good engine.
  12. Get back to a lower terrain and an airport.
  13. You can practice at a lower altitude by resetting the flight and changing the airport to KPAE (600 feet MSL):
    1. The right-turning tendency will be worse when the engine fails.
    2. You will have more power to play with.
  14. If you crashed retry but rotate at 101 knots instead of 90 knots.
  15. It is possible to fly this flight and land at an airport but may be not at Jeffco.
