glider///ha
In a glider, you start the flight knowing you don't have an engine.
IN a single engine plane, you should always be looking for a place to land. Ergo, I think single engine mindset is quite vital. Having flown airliners (as pilot) out of LGA, I was always looking for a spot to land...dual engine failures do happen for many reasons.
The ditching checklist is too long.
I think a simple memory item checklist for any ""all engines out" failure should be:
trim for best glide/min safe speed for configuration
head towards PRESELECTED emergency landing spot
Radio a distress call
WARN cabin crew
IF landing in water, close outflow valve
attempt engine restart (lotsa luck!)
When I was a captain, I used to ask my copilots where they would go if both quit...virtually none of them were even considering the possibility.
Our training is so concerned with FAA mandates about engine out at V1 that we have forgotten other things that COULD happen.
as we hear more, the fecal matter will certainly impact the oscillating ventilator.
