ORIGINAL: FILE IFR


ORIGINAL: PilotFighter

Another thing I noticed was that he was trying to turn toward the good engine and the plane was fighting him.
To me, it appeared the pilot is trying to make a left turn w/o using rudder.

Which enginedid you determine failed?
I'm not sure - I'll check with Vince - but he did say he found that the low speed needle valve on the engine that went out was open way farther than the engine that kept running. Which means that it was drawing more fuel. Ultimately running out of gas.
