Professional seaplane pilot Antony Yen of "Straight and Level Seaplanes" in Eustis Florida, Departed from Williamsburg-Jamestown Airport (KJGG) on May 26th on a routine ferry flight to Connecticut. Just ten minutes after take off the experimental light sport flying boat suffered loss of fuel pressure at just over 600 feet above the ground. With dense trees all around, Mr. Yen turned on the secondary fuel pump, confirmed he had voltage (spark) and lost fuel pressure. After pitching the aircraft to best glide, and immediately locating the only potential field in gliding distance, he and his student were committed to landing.
Mr Yen is an experienced seaplane pilot and flight instructor, who specializes in light sport flying boats, and is extremely familiar with this airframe. He explained to us, in this specific airframe when you lose your engine, you lose airflow over the elevator and rudder. In order to make a safe landing you must increase the airspeed over the elevator, so he descended into the cornfield inorder to pick up airspeed and make a safe landing. Just moments before touchdown Mr. Yen shut off the ignition and fuel in hopes to minimize the chance of fire after landing.
Just 40 seconds after the engine quit producing thrust Mr Yen and his student were safely on the ground with no injuries to persons or property. When asked about the landing Mr. Yen stated “I spend a lot of time training my students for engine failures, and more importantly training them to always have a field in mind in case you lose an engine. As the landing goes it wasn’t my smoothest landing, but given the conditions it's good enough for me” FAA inspectors later confirmed the loss of fuel pressure was due to a cracked fuel rail and the incident was not due to pilot error.

The hand movements of the student told the story of what was going on in his head. Holy crap he seemed terrified, and seemed to want to take the stick, but kept it together. Good on both of you, and I hope the student doesn't get shaken off the hobby.

@MoMadNU 2 года назад

I'm a heli pilot and that pushover was as fast as a collective drop after an engine out. It takes that kind of reaction time to successfully get into an autorotation. I've never seen a fixed wing pilot react this fast. Truly extraordinary.

@StraightandLevelCFI 2 года назад

Thanks man. Yeah at 600 get there wasn’t much time to think

@FinbarSheehy 2 года назад

The airplane has a high-mounted engine, so in a power loss it pitches up markedly - which you can see in the video at 0:06. The instinctive reaction to that is to fight it by pushing the stick - which of course was exactly the right thing to do, and the student did it. In more conventional airplanes, with the engine in the nose, a power loss causes a slight pitch down, and the instinctive reaction to that is to pull - exactly the wrong thing. That's probably why you've never seen a fixed wing pilot react quite like this: the initial surprise reaction has to be fought, and that takes an instant. That said, once the shock passes, the pilot tends to relax, which in a high-engine airplane results in the speed bleeding off unless the pilot remembers to re-trim, which can present its own dangers.

@russellmillar2357 2 года назад

Anybody that is any good in a light weight high drag microlight type aircraft will have had that nose down reaction drummed into them. For a very simple reason, there is no choice. Very low inertia compared to most other aircraft. Never flown heli but I suspect you guys are the same, it's part of the training.

@andrewbaerm.d.3984 2 года назад

600 ft AGL! Absolutely remarkable reaction on your part. As others have said, you had zero time to think. Your actions were second nature due to years of experience during your own training anf as a CFI. You reminded me of something that happened to me. I had a 210 built in 1960 back in the 90s based at HEF. I had offered to take a friend of mine up to circle around the College Park area near DC on the 4th of July to see the fireworks. I had been doing this yearly for awhile... Great way to avoid crowds... and get to see not only the fireworks in DC but in Baltimore and all the local ones. But, this was aftetall WAS with it's large Class bravo airspace even before the SFRA placed post 9-11. So, I had to coordinate with ATC at IAD and DCA. While I had done this many times, most of my weekly flying was commuting between HEF and YNG, often at night over the mountains. So, I literally always filed an instrument flight plan which reduced the workload in the immediate area and provided me the protection of being on someone's radar screen. My experience with ATC is such that I think if the government was run by them, it would run like a Swiss watch. Always professional and helpful. Anyway, my friend wound up getting to me very late which put extra stress on me. Without a lot of detail, let's just say that I got a bit hassled. I was a visual (sort of) flight plan... the reason I used the word coordinated because that is how it was done then... Like taking people sight seeing over the DC mall down to 1,000 ft AGL. On the way to college park, it was already dusk and I cut off a corner so to speak of IAD's ATC control space... Not so bad that I had to call the tower but I heard from ATC on the radio. We got to the area where I circled during the fireworks which lasted about one half hour. When we got back to HEF, all was quiet. It was around 9:45 pm. As I was on final, I lost my engine. No time for a restart or check list. I had NO time to think. Should I retract the flaps to gain speed? No, that would suddenly reduce lift. I was setup well enough that I knew I would make it, which I did. So, what happened? I had gotten so frazzled at the outset that I failed to do what I never failed to do until that day... Follow the landing check list which among other things requires you to switch gas tanks. I had been airborne longe enough that when I changed to the landing configuration and attitude, that while gas was still in the tank, what was left was NOT USEABLE fuel due to the change in attitude. ... Hence the reason for the tank switch. I had about 800 hours by then eith a lot of IMC. This was the worst and stupidest thing I ever did, for which I am grateful. Never get flustered. Never let someone do something that gets you that way while you're flying. Always practice by yourself and with a CFI. (I used to do no gyro approach practice at YNG and at Andrews Air force base because IAD no longer would do it.) Practice whatever it is in your particular flying situation that might affect you. Engine outs are for everyone. I made a habit of reading NTSB IFR accident summaries. Running out of fuel, even though I had plenty in the other one was very embarrassing! But it happened to me which is why I am sharing the story.

Bracing himself on the window against the G force while you banked, trying to grab hold of something, even just his hand, and the thumb flicking... Great reaction from yourself, instantly in control of the situation and running through proper procedure. I'd reckon having been in this situation with you should set that student up to be a very competent flyer. He's seen how it's done in a real world SHTF situation. Anything he encounters in the future will seem like a walk in the park!

The Challenger II was no engine failure, just didn't like the way it way flying and at 100' started a crop duster turn back to land. Crop dusters always allow the nose to go down naturally in all turns as designed into tractor airplanes. I released all back pressure but did not have enough rudder and aileron control to get the wing up before hitting the ground. The student who had just bought the plane was fine in back by the pylon. The front of the airplane and me was crushed. We need to keep old guys with thousands of regular horus out of manufactured however light sport airplanes when they lose their medicals. There are good normal tractor Cub like light sport airplanes, but very expensive.

Real question. Do the engines regularly just give out on these smaller planes ? I saw in another of his videos a few days after he brought a new plane he couldn't really enjoy flying over the grand canyon cause he was looking for a place to land the plane in case the engine failed. The plane was new and he wasn't comfortable with it yet. Even a few plane the engine fails? Smh I don't wanna learn to fly anymore then

@@TheChoralist it's relatively rare and survivable if you fly the plane.

As you and many other very experienced pilots find out, light weight rag and tube type microlights are both the same and very different to fly. Years ago the people most likely to kill themselves in microlights were airline pilots. Full of confidence, can fly anything attitude, often ex air force and zero experience in low inertia machines. Glad you survived but it sounds like you paid a high price all the same.

Franchement chapeau bas !! Et super self control !!!! Bravo les gars !! Superbe maîtrise de votre aéroplane, encore bravo !!!

Tony taught me how to fly seaplanes. Ran into him about a month after this incident. Well done, bubba!!

People have been reposting this video and commenting. Thought you should know since he was your instructor sadly this plane crashed again during the test flight after it was repaired and he did not make it.

Man your student had stick forward before you did! Good job!

@StraightandLevelCFI 2 года назад

yeah I was extremely happy with how he handled this situation, and how he managed to put me in a good place to do a safe landing.

@russellmillar2357 2 года назад

Well trained, straight and level seaplanes is doing a good job.

@nitramluap 2 года назад

Nope... the joystick shot forward due to the lack of thrust and changed aerodynamics on the elevator - it PULLED their hands forward and it's very obvious. The student even moved his left hand forward to 'grab' it back as a reflex.

@avid6186 2 года назад

@@nitramluap Unlikely. Have a look at the plane, it looks like the motor is above the wing. I don't know how much training you've had, but just in case you haven't started yet here a short explanation. If the motor (centre of thrust) is above the wing or more precisely the centre of drag when under power the motor will tend to push the nose down if it does anything noticeable at all. In normal flight the plane should be trimmed so the pilot isn't putting any weight on the stick, everything is neutral. In that case cutting the power will make it nose up a bit rather than pitching nose down. Of course if the centre of thrust is below the centre of drag its all the other way round and then you would get a nose down reaction to cutting power. That nose down reaction is trained into you by lots of practice. As a generalization the heavier the plane the longer you have to react. Light, high drag planes (think rag and tube microlights) stop just about as soon as you shut the throttle. Heavier, sleek planes carry on for a while due to higher momentum. If you haven't already give it a go, it's very addictive 😀
