Dominic, our 22 years old Pilotfriend, recently experienced an engine failure. Instead of crashing the plane, he managed to land the DA40 NG on a 190m (623ft) short farmers field.
Luckily, no one was injured and there was no damage to the Aircraft. His father filmed the Emergency Landing, and we are going to take you on board this flight with the Diamond DA40 NG.
Join us to congrats Dominic for his incredible reaction to bring everyone safe to the ground.

Fantastic work! Glad that all ended so successfully and, not only was no one hurt, but that aircraft looks to be in really great shape after a forced landing! (Apart, of course, from the engine!). What I want to know is, what was the 'BANG!' you heard and why did the engine fail?

@PropClear Год назад

To cite the analysis of the Swiss Transportation Safety Investigation Board: „The engine failure is due to the fact that the screw connection between the fuel pressure line and the No. 3 injector came loose, causing a sudden drop in pressure in the common rail injection system. The screw connection came loose because the union nut had not been tightened correctly when the injector was installed.“ The full report is available in German: www.sust.admin.ch/inhalte/AV-berichte/HB-SGV_SumB_D.pdf

@gsilva220 10 месяцев назад

The report says the injector #3 had been removed at a prior date due to a leak. During the incident, the injector was somehow shot out of the cylinder head (explaining the loud bang) and the high pressure line also came loose, causing the loss of fuel pressure to the other injectors.

As a flight instructor with some 1500 hours on the DA40, i find it remarkable that you would be able to complete all these items with an engine failure below 1000ft. I'm not sure even I would have had the resources' to pull up and complete two independent checklists, brief ATC, PAX as well as secure the engine before touch down, all within around 60 - 90 seconds. I would probably have done a simplified troubleshoot fast by memory and then focused on setting up a solid final to land. Just some reflections, very well done to you! I did also once have a "partial" engine failure on the DA40NG, with it only producing some 35% load over mountains, yet they are very reliable, would take the E4 over a Lycoming any day.

@industrieundtechnik1761 Год назад

Yes I see very reliable this plastic trash ton with many death people due to the cdi mercedes a class engine first converted by thielert germany. I prefer a lycoming any day in front of this garbage. I need to say this engines had already many problems in the a class. The injectors easily burn holes in the pistons if there is a little problem.

Nicely done 👍 I was on the frequency that day somewhere in the region of Brienz on the way back to LSZI from a flight in the alps and still remember the mayday calls, the ZRH Information controller saying "Emergency in progress, stand by" to other pilots and then reports of the save landing from another plane circling above 😉 The other pilot reported no significant damage to the aircraft and was counting the people climbing out of the aircraft. The controller then compared it to the number of people on the flight plan, so make sure these numbers are right and/or report any change when on frequency after takeoff.

@PureGlide Год назад

Glider pilot here, I've done about 85 paddock landings so far. My thoughts: - Great paddock selection! It's something we train for, but most pilots wouldn't. Choosing a good field, that's flat, big enough, and not downhill or too downwind is the most critical thing. - Most dirt paddocks like that tend to stop pretty quickly. Longer grass fields tend to stop much more quickly than an airfield too. - Anywhere under 1000 feet, I would focus heavily on choosing a good field and focusing on the circuit and landing. Anything else (e.g. radio, engine failure checklists) is distracting from the critical thing which is flying the plane. Of course try the obvious things, and if you're high enough then do them all. - The circuit is the way glider pilots give themselves options. Straight in, if you hit heavy sink there's nothing you can do. If you're on downwind or base you can turn in sooner depending how fast the descent is. Great job, couldn't have gone better :)

@bernieschiff5919 Год назад

What also helped here is the good design of the Diamond nose wheel assembly, a sturdy steel arm swept back at a sharp angle, minimizing the tendency to dig in into soft ground and flip the airplane. Also, a good soft field landing by the pilot.

@ceansilorcaso5820 Год назад

The DA40 is also design to have good gliding qualities better than other personal planes. I think, that make a big difference.

Amazing execution. I won’t fly again until I am that fluid in my procedures. I could have gotten down into a field if available, but I wouldn’t have remembered my proper restart procedures, fuel check, ECU check, fuel shutoff, master shutoff, etc. I need to get more rigorous. Thanks for showing us what “right” looks like! What engine was this aircraft equipped with? I assume the diesel due to the ECU switch.

It is equiped with an Austro Engine E4-A (Diesel) - former Mercedes A-Class car engine

@lukemurphy7726 Год назад

I flight instructed in the DA40NG for 350 hours. The engine reduced power to 72% on me while taking off. It happened departing a short runway in the mountains (KGWS). It happened at rotation speed and there was not enough runway to abort. I had to take the problem in to the air and I barely cleared the trees. The turbocharger wastegate controler was to blame. I don’t trust the Austro engine and I won’t fly the DA40NG anymore.

@spitfireinvasion Год назад

Can you elaborate why an off field landing is preferable in brown fields as opposed to green or planted ones? My first reaction would have been to avoid brown fields, my fear is to get the nose wheel stuck and flip the plane in a muddy, brown field…

@qwequ777 Год назад

Just guessing - maybe it is because it is hard to judge the amount and type of growth. From 1000ft everything looks like grass. You go down and realize at 60ft that it's 6ft tall corn with grown cobs. Brown means earth, guaranteed. Also even if it is grass, that is probably more slippery than soil. Aviation experts, please clarify!

@englishclive Год назад

@@qwequ777 In the UK we have lots of fields, TBH I've not thought about colour and my first reaction to 'brown fields' was they would usually have just been ploughed or tilled in someway and so wouldn't be my first choice. Green ones would be my preference if I had to flip a coin though stubble is brown and good. I suppose in mountainous places green fields would generally be rather undulating and only farmed fields are definitely flat. No expert here obviously....

@possel4747 Год назад

I am always looking for the green-ish fields with a brown or yellow tinge. These are the ones with shorter grass (and possibly sheep!). Lush green is liable to be long (unseen until too late) and rich brown implies freshly ploughed (bad) or harrowed (possiblly good). I was disappointed there was not more in the film about the choice of field whilst airborne, regarding the wind direction and strength, plus avoiding people and wires.

@philipohmes9395 Год назад

I was curious enough to want to read the Final Report as to the cause of the engine failure. Some mechanic did not install the proper fittings on the fuel line for piston 3 during a repair procedure on the engine. This caused a fuel line failure as the fuel line decoupled from the engine and thereby causing loss of fuel to the engine, rather quickly. Just wondering if a Pilot should during the pre-flight check, now look at the engine, to see of all of the lines are in proper working order? The failure is quite noticeable from the picture taken from the investigation.

@PropClear Год назад

there is no way to see such a failure in a pre flight check. This his hidden behind many coverings. In the picture it looks noticeable, because the engine was fully open.
