Fantastic work! Glad that all ended so successfully and, not only was no one hurt, but that aircraft looks to be in really great shape after a forced landing! (Apart, of course, from the engine!). What I want to know is, what was the 'BANG!' you heard and why did the engine fail?

To cite the analysis of the Swiss Transportation Safety Investigation Board: „The engine failure is due to the fact that the screw connection between the fuel pressure line and the No. 3 injector came loose, causing a sudden drop in pressure in the common rail injection system. The screw connection came loose because the union nut had not been tightened correctly when the injector was installed.“ The full report is available in German: www.sust.admin.ch/inhalte/AV-berichte/HB-SGV_SumB_D.pdf

As a flight instructor with some 1500 hours on the DA40, i find it remarkable that you would be able to complete all these items with an engine failure below 1000ft. I'm not sure even I would have had the resources' to pull up and complete two independent checklists, brief ATC, PAX as well as secure the engine before touch down, all within around 60 - 90 seconds. I would probably have done a simplified troubleshoot fast by memory and then focused on setting up a solid final to land. Just some reflections, very well done to you! I did also once have a "partial" engine failure on the DA40NG, with it only producing some 35% load over mountains, yet they are very reliable, would take the E4 over a Lycoming any day.

Nicely done 👍 I was on the frequency that day somewhere in the region of Brienz on the way back to LSZI from a flight in the alps and still remember the mayday calls, the ZRH Information controller saying "Emergency in progress, stand by" to other pilots and then reports of the save landing from another plane circling above 😉 The other pilot reported no significant damage to the aircraft and was counting the people climbing out of the aircraft. The controller then compared it to the number of people on the flight plan, so make sure these numbers are right and/or report any change when on frequency after takeoff.

Glider pilot here, I've done about 85 paddock landings so far. My thoughts: - Great paddock selection! It's something we train for, but most pilots wouldn't. Choosing a good field, that's flat, big enough, and not downhill or too downwind is the most critical thing. - Most dirt paddocks like that tend to stop pretty quickly. Longer grass fields tend to stop much more quickly than an airfield too. - Anywhere under 1000 feet, I would focus heavily on choosing a good field and focusing on the circuit and landing. Anything else (e.g. radio, engine failure checklists) is distracting from the critical thing which is flying the plane. Of course try the obvious things, and if you're high enough then do them all. - The circuit is the way glider pilots give themselves options. Straight in, if you hit heavy sink there's nothing you can do. If you're on downwind or base you can turn in sooner depending how fast the descent is. Great job, couldn't have gone better :)

What also helped here is the good design of the Diamond nose wheel assembly, a sturdy steel arm swept back at a sharp angle, minimizing the tendency to dig in into soft ground and flip the airplane. Also, a good soft field landing by the pilot.

I flight instructed in the DA40NG for 350 hours. The engine reduced power to 72% on me while taking off. It happened departing a short runway in the mountains (KGWS). It happened at rotation speed and there was not enough runway to abort. I had to take the problem in to the air and I barely cleared the trees. The turbocharger wastegate controler was to blame. I don’t trust the Austro engine and I won’t fly the DA40NG anymore.

Just guessing - maybe it is because it is hard to judge the amount and type of growth. From 1000ft everything looks like grass. You go down and realize at 60ft that it's 6ft tall corn with grown cobs. Brown means earth, guaranteed. Also even if it is grass, that is probably more slippery than soil. Aviation experts, please clarify!

@@qwequ777 In the UK we have lots of fields, TBH I've not thought about colour and my first reaction to 'brown fields' was they would usually have just been ploughed or tilled in someway and so wouldn't be my first choice. Green ones would be my preference if I had to flip a coin though stubble is brown and good. I suppose in mountainous places green fields would generally be rather undulating and only farmed fields are definitely flat. No expert here obviously....

I am always looking for the green-ish fields with a brown or yellow tinge. These are the ones with shorter grass (and possibly sheep!). Lush green is liable to be long (unseen until too late) and rich brown implies freshly ploughed (bad) or harrowed (possiblly good). I was disappointed there was not more in the film about the choice of field whilst airborne, regarding the wind direction and strength, plus avoiding people and wires.

I was curious enough to want to read the Final Report as to the cause of the engine failure. Some mechanic did not install the proper fittings on the fuel line for piston 3 during a repair procedure on the engine. This caused a fuel line failure as the fuel line decoupled from the engine and thereby causing loss of fuel to the engine, rather quickly. Just wondering if a Pilot should during the pre-flight check, now look at the engine, to see of all of the lines are in proper working order? The failure is quite noticeable from the picture taken from the investigation.

@@PropClear Appreciate the thoughtful response. Given the nature of the problem, is the young pilot’s continued trust in and loyalty to the airplane justified? Who is responsible for that mishap, who tightens and checks that union nut? How is it unlikely or less likely to happen again?

The engine failure is the result of human error in the maintenance. The aircraft was purchased from the flight school in Zurich shortly before the engine failure. The last work on the aircraft was done by the seller.

@@PropClear Thx again. It stretches credulity for the pilot to affirm his trust in the “beautiful” airplane and the maintenance thereof, if you do the checks, which obviously weren’t done. He fails to mention it, but there was a breakdown in the production a/o maintenance system(s) that, fortunately, for which the pilot training system compensated.
All these planes can have a brs and they all should. He wouldnt be alive if he was in ifr or night flying. Our faa should grant a reward for these manufacturers

Big hole in the story: why did the engine fail? WTF?
@PropClear Жыл бұрын
To cite the analysis of the Swiss Transportation Safety Investigation Board: „The engine failure is due to the fact that the screw connection between the fuel pressure line and the No. 3 injector came loose, causing a sudden drop in pressure in the common rail injection system. The screw connection came loose because the union nut had not been tightened correctly when the injector was installed.“ The full report is available in German: www.sust.admin.ch/inhalte/AV-berichte/HB-SGV_SumB_D.pdf

@@PropClear Thank you very much. To me, the reason of failure or crash is very important information. In that case, the loosening or a fail of tightening of a single screw can lead to an engine failure any time. Thats an issue, linked to the common rail technique. Good job by the pilot as well by the plane, by the way.

Bla Bla Bla. No word on what happen to the engine!!! What was the failure cause? Real amateurs, just for show off!

Not a good look for Diamond.
@PropClear Жыл бұрын
the reason was a human error in the maintenance from the seller of the aircraft. Diamond should not be blamed for that.
