and no, I did not pause b4 hitting submit.
I knew 4 people who died in that crash. I was friends with 2 of them for almost 16 years, the other 2 were their children.
With no due respect whatsoever, go frick yourself.

Sorry for your loss.
Do you know if it was a charter or flight or did they own the airplane?

frick, that was a nearly brand new plane.

Feathering is basically pointing the sharp edge of the prop into the wind so you don't have a bunch of extra drag on the airplane while you're trying to climb on one engine and maintain directional control
Can you explain this? The prop blades are able to be trimmed?

Engine failure,pilot tried to go around and had the nose too high causing the stall. You can see the stall/skid on the dashcam footage. He should have been able to recover from that but he didn't calmly try to gain altitude before attempting to come around for the landing.
Isnt the cardinal rule when faced with an emergency to fly the plane?

Not a pilot or airplane expert, but I really feel for the families of the lost. Godspeed.

I would imagine that’s easier said than done. Everyone likes to think they’re cool hand Luke until SHTF

It’s been a bad couple of weeks for rich folks and private aviation.

quote:Sort of. It's called a constant-speed prop. Basically the prop RPMs remain at a constant speed set by the pilot. The throttles actually control the pitch of the blades forcing them to either to take a big bite of air(more thrust) or a small bite of air(less thrust). This is controlled by oil pressure and flywieghts in the prop hub. The king air has a system that dumps all the oil out of the prop hub in the event of an engine failure causing the flyweights to basically drag the prop into feather. Of course the system has to be armed and a few other conditions met for this to happen.

Learn something new every day. I would have thought they were fixed in place but makes perfect sense
It seems like it lost power long before it flipped over. Is that just drag, or possible gunning the right engine?

It's what they call a Vmc roll. Vmc is basically the minimum airspeed at which you can maintain directional control with the critical engine(almost always the left) inoperative. In the video you can clearly see they were not maintaining directional control and then eventually got to far below that speed and it snapped over.

I know next to nothing but could that left engine go into reverse thrust? It just banked so hard and inverted to the left that it makes me wonder.
Posted on 7/16/19 at 9:11 pm to GeauxxxTigers23
Why are small aircraft more prone to crashes? Excluding “amateurs” in piper cubs and such, why are private jets the ones who go down the most?

Loss of directional control due to being below what is known as Vmc. Vmc is the speed where a twin engine propeller plane doesn’t have enough air flow over the rudder to create enough force to counter act the roll and yaw that is being created from having too much/full thrust on one side of the plane and now excessive drag due to merely a windmill on the other.
Here’s another example of it happening, looks very similar to me... LINK

On the plus side suffering was pretty short lived for the deceased
