One time....

One time at flight camp i shut down the wrong engine, aahhh huh huh heh heh.

supsup
 
I don't get it. How could they shut down the wrong engine? If they were only on one to begin with, why would they want to shut down the other?

And if they had both running? Huh??
 
Sammy,
I do not claim to know a lot about aviation, but i think that they were practicing an engine failure. When an engine fails you are suppose to shut down the engine that has failed, but they shut down the one that was working. Thus leaving them with no working engines.
 
Wow..Im on a brain fart roll lately. Thanks.

I guess I was just thinking when he said "engine failure", that he was turning off one engine to simulate the failure itself.
 
I, of course, have never done anything stupid in a simulator. ??? While dining in the cafeteria, however, I have heard of some other aviators who have done incredibly stupid things. (One of which would be to forget to have the tape erased.)
 
All airlines have very rigid procedures to prevent this very thing, see how well they work !! :D

So.. what's the big rush? Whatever happened to "identify, verify, GUARD THE GOOD POWER LEVER, bring the suspect to flight idle, agree that nothing got worse, and THEN continue into cutoff"? We won't even mention showing the instructor that the checklist is in use.;)

Based on the relative (complete) lack of crew coordination, I am going to go out on a limb here. I suspect that the "crew" in that clip (and the others at the site linked previously) are a couple of non-airline pilots (maybe not even certificated pilots) particpating in a weekend ATOP class (or something similar)! :rolleyes:
 
MS6073 must be correct in assuming these guys weren't real airline pilots. They didn't try to relight the engine after they realized they're mistake. The guy in the left seat didn't even try to power up his instruments. And if they were really airline pilots in a training/checkride situation they certainly wouldn't be laughing about it once they hit the water.
 
Even though most of my multi engine exp is in Seminoles and Senecas [~15 in twin Otters :) ], I think I remember being taught to be reeeealy careful when securing the dead engine. and after getting things well under control. But again, I have no multi jet experience.

Yes, apparently they are sim enthusiasts according to their posts on this site. Joe Blow & his buddy Josh talking about their MISadventure.....AvSim Forums

...a great laugh though!
 
They may not have been airline pilots, but doesn't one of them say right before the end, "Don't fail me"?

Not that an Airline Pilot would ever say something so rediculous...

No, never..

Would I, I mean he, I mean she?

You'll be happy to know that simple rule applies to multi jets too, large and small.

(...with the possible exception of the B-52. If one fails, at least you've got a couple of tries to get the correct one secured.)
