Stop Engine

Post by arielbicho »

Hi. Has anyone flown the plane (emergency) with an engine stop? How it behaves? Thank you.

I've flown 34KP with a broke crankshaft. It comes down pretty fast dead stick. I was fortunate to have a nice stunted soy bean field below me. I didn't have a whole lot of time, being low (6 or 7 hundred feet). Like they always say "fly the plane", worry about other things later.
