What Would You Do ?
With not much flying going on I have been giving some of my X students scenario’s to keep the grey matter exercised.
The latest is the following scenario which happened to me exactly as described
I was flying along at 3000 ft AGL in cruise in a C 172. Suddenly with no warning the engine started running very roughly with the engine RPM varying up and down by 500 RPM and a sufficient loss of power it was doubtful level flight could be maintained. T & P were indicated in the normal range.
What would you do?
