How to handle engine problems shortly after takeoff. Really well handled.

I saw this mentioned on another link, but this is THE link.

 

Top marks (IMO) to Sarah.

 

 

(Original linke I saw it on.)

If the pilot knew how the turbocharged engine systems worked and looked at the manifold pressure gauge a diagnosis of loss of boost due to a hose failure could have been made fairly quickly. The engine will continue to run with enough hp to maintain level flight. No biggie.

I'm not going to go there.

 

I was sharing this to show how well she handled it.

 

Any comments on what she did wrong would be better put on her clip.  Not here.

(Just saying)

Its a good thing shes not my copilot - concentration may be my problem, even with an emergency 😈

Nothing wrong with capitalising on your assets.........)

Perhaps too late, never got over the attraction and feel....

It's supposed to be about HANDLING AEROPLANES, not a "show us your Tit's" thing.  Nev

I must say I'm a little surprised we didn't get shown an important makeup check and eyeliner touchup, as part of the emergency landing. After all, as an "Instagram pilot", one has to make sure ones makeup is still perfect, when one is being dragged from the wreckage, no? 😄 

[rgmwa]

That’s part of the pre-camera switch on checklist. That’s why you don’t see it. 

[facthunter]

I've always been wary of Pilot's who choose to project an Image.  What you actually DO is what's important .Nev

[BrendAn]

She is a professional actor who does theatre performing so I guess the makeup would be a pretty normal thing for her.

Maybe some people shouldn't judge a book by its cover.

 

[facthunter]

It's more of a distraction than an asset . Clickbait stuff. Completely unnecessary and superfluous. Not analogous to a Book Cover in any respect. Nev

[Blueadventures]

She is one of us, an equal, a pilot.  I'm sure she will learn from her video and be better in her future flights.

ARE you,?  Actors are Primarily actors, putting on a show.  I wouldn't waste the time  Watching it..Nev

You are a grumpy old bugger. 

Can you look at anything in a positive light😁

I like FACTS and Flying needs More facts,  not soft Porn.  It Used to be called GOOD GEN, and People rejected BS . Now if you don't treat everything as a Joke You are ridiculed. It's NOT in the OFF TOPIC section either.  BrendAn YOU would not Know ME from a BAR of Soap. Nev

In general;

• Most men have great difficulty in keeping their eyes above chin level, when attractive real-estate, lower down, is on display.
• Most of the females, of our species, would seem to be adept at making the most of their physical "assets", such that the male will,  without conscious forethought, visually appraise the real estate.
• I am told, other females will also asses the assets on display but with much greater critical analysis, than the male.
• It would seem that the aforementioned displays, are the human female competing with other females, rather than a specific wish to draw the male gaze (bad luck fella's)
• Sorry BrendAn, both male & female humans, are "hard wired" to " judge a book by its cover", at least in the first instance.

😈

Peter, it's Naked Gyrocopter Girl - make sure you get it right, or no-one will be able to find the video.  😄 

[BurnieM]

I have watched a lot of her videos and she is technically very good.

Her narration is a little theatrical but not at the expensive of her piloting.

My only criticism is her knowledge is a little limited on the mechanical side but she would not be the only Cirrus pilot you could make this comment about.
