Title:
Inflight Engine Failure - How an Engine Monitor Kept Me from Pulling the Chute
Topic:
The Saga of an Inflight Engine Failure, Safe Landing, the Failure Diagnostic Process, and the Resultant Engine Overhaul.
Speaker(s):
Rhon Williams
Brief Description:
A seemingly routine flight from TOA to SEZ in a Cirrus SR22 required quick decisions when the oil pressure started dropping rapidly. After safely on the ground at KRAL, a failure analysis was performed looking for the cause. Diagnostics led to an engine overhaul which is fully explained, and sample parts from the engine are shown .
