Re: Engine Failure
Matt,
Though this isn't a piston engine story and it happened back in 75, I had just lifted off a mountain strip in Georgia after refueling in a H46 helocopter to about 300 agl and started forward transition flight when both engines (yes both) decided to flame out. Through pure luck we landed in a small clearing without hitting the trees in front of us or the other helocopters parked behind us.
Both engines restarted and nothing wrong could be found, there is nothing scarier than when a helocopter gets suddenly quiet and you look at the guages and everything is winding down.
