re: Cessna Catastrophic Engine Failure Emergency with Video and ATC Audio in Hillsboro

Writing for USA Today in 2013, veteran pilot John Cox stated that a jetliner could probably be expected to glide for around 100 miles (161 kilometers) if all its engines failed 30,000 feet (9,144 meters) above ground level. That's about the distance between Los Angeles and Palm Springs or New York City and Atlantic City. In other words, not very far.
Watch this video of the Air Transat flight 236 that ran out of fuel over the Atlantic and glided into the Azores, incredible !

Besides his calmness, the final approach was so very impressive. Gliding at that angle and managing the distance and height.

He didn't leave himself any margin for error. Damn. Right on the end of the runway.

Did anyone notice the link for a GoFundme for $50K because it's not an issue insurance covers?
I mean, if you have your own plane......

Meh, lot of factors determine the glide ratio, that’s just a generalization, done a lot of that type of training in the sim but I’d rather not press to test

How much is a Cessna 172 engine?
Cessna 172 overhaul @ $17,000 divided by the TBO (estimated time between overhauls) of 2000 hours = $8.50 per hour. Note: the factory remanufactured engine cost is $27,000.
I'd say he's looking to make some money which is fine.
Saying that, I gotta say I'm amazed it costs that much for a Cessna engine.

Ole baw obviously wasn’t prepared if he wasn’t flying with a parachute on to bail out if there were any engine troubles.

Not talking a C-172 engine here, baw

Don't know planes baw.
Just did a Cessna engine replacement search.

Great job all around, pilot was calm and decisive, controllers were professional and did a great job of coordinating between facilities and super nice of the pilot to be able to clear the runway at the end. I have only worked 1 engine failure and luckily it was an experimental aircraft in closed traffic. They had enough altitude and having an 8K runway helped. A controller never wants an engine failure with smoke in the cockpit.

Very poignant when the tower asks "How many souls on board?"
That’s a standard ATC question when pilots declare an emergency. They ask for souls on board (not to be confused with passengers/bodies just in case you’re transporting any deceased) and fuel on board in hours and minutes.

And he was texting his arse off while doing it…….

I know nothing about aviation but everything looked so smooth I don't even really get what was so different about that than any other landing?
Had no idea a plane could stay in the air like that or that you could even control it if the engine stopped working.

If you have to have an engine failure it's so much better at 9000 ft than 200.
Some of the map/navigation software available now (ie Foreflight) will calculate how far you can glide based upon your aircraft and elevation. There's a shaded circle around you on the map which is larger the higher you are. Don't know if Sully had that help when he had to decide to ditch into the Hudson.

Fixed wing Cessna...not a Piper.

That’s relatively easy. We just replaced an engine in a Cessna 421C (it’s a GTSIO 520) and it was over $70k all in.

Glide Ratio stacked.
Gravity fricked.
