FWIW, and no reflection on this accident, I have a few engine failures at MTOW after take off in the 42.
Hi Fuji,
you mean you've experienced yourself several real engine failures in a DA42 after take-off??
Or do you mean simulated ones in a safe height above the field?
Anyhow, OEI performance on Thielert powered DA42s at MTOM was reported to be insufficient in a couple of incidents before. And engine issues seem to be more frequent than on LyContiSaurus.
Training with actually shutting down can be done safely and close to reality, simulating an imaginary runway at 5.000 ft, for instance, ground being at 1.000 ft. Doing this once a year in my Seneca II, to stay ahead in case I need it.
Best regards,
Andi
