Engine Failure ATC Audio

Not sure if this has been posted before, it is the ATC tapes of an engine partial power loss over central Oregon. The Lanceair made a safe landing in John Day. I thought it was an interesting listen.

Really makes it clear how important it is to be familiar with your A/C.

Yea, that guy was cool through the whole thing. Almost sounded like he was excited to try out the Synthetic Vision. Hope if (or when) it happens to me I can stay so calm.

That dude must have balls of stainless steel! Made it sound like he does that everyday... like a walk in the park. Very interesting to listen to.

Nice job, compare that tape to what must have been going on with the UPS 747 in Dubai. The more I hear about that one the worse it sounds.

I know the pilot - he's very professional and shared the whole story at the last airport meeting last week. Great job of staying cool under pressure!
