What I've been taught is that a critical engine is defined by the length of the arm from the CG to the thrust vector of the downgoing propeller, and the right engine is the critical engine. This is because the downgoing propeller takes a bigger bite of air, and the longer arm of the downgoing propeller is on the right engine.

4:23 Hey, that's my Ercoupe model! It's R/C and perfect for pilots with extremely weak left thumbs.

Hey! I know that guy. 😊
It was great to have you on the podcast last night. Also, really love these more serious flight lesson videos.
Very impressed with getting you commercial and multi that fast.
Can't wait to see the next one, Bryan.

Another awesome vlog. Keep them coming BrYan!

Also, congrats on a perfect 10 min video 😄

What I love about this channel is with all the humor and funny videos. To hear how as a pilot learning the process of new rating and skill and the no BS learning of it. Its great to hear and being a student getting close to a check ride, to hear about the difference on twins was good to learn.

Love to see multi engine flights and more engine out procedures during IFR approaches under the hood

Actually, the critical engine (as defined by the FAA), is the one that has the most adverse effect on the airplane’s handling characteristics or performance. All of the four factors previously mentioned make up the determination of which is the Critical Engine on propeller driven aircraft with non counter rotating propellers or, with centerline thrust. Also, remember that many European built propeller driven ME aircraft have both engines that rotate counter clockwise thus making the RH engine the the Critical Engine.

Good stuff, BrYan. Serious issue and handled well. Good stuff.

there was a recent crash someone caught on video the apparently was a failed VMC demo. 2 of the three aboard died. I think it was Blanolorio's channel that had it.

Its been 6 months since I did my multi. My right leg still hurts. And ercoupes are fun to fly 😁. I've never heard of the critical engine explained that way. The way that was explained to me was in terms of a longer lever arm from the thrust of the non critical engines propeller (downward bladetip is further from center on non critical, downward bladetip on critical is closer) to the airplanes center requiring more force and a longer lever arm from the rudder to counter it. But again it's been a few months and I'm not a MEI.

I love seeing the learning process in the real world....this series is perfectly that. Thanks for posting!

P-factor on the live side is a fairly big part of what makes the critical engine ( unless they're inline, I guess! ). Nice chilled drill, I like it.

[desmond-hawkins]

I'm pretty sure that if any engine shuts down you check that the door is open, secure your pants extinguishers, grab your selfie stick and bail with a parachute. That's standard procedure as far as I know.

Flying the Beech 18 way back when, we had 2 critical engines. They were both hyper sensitive, quick to pass judgment, and always making sure they're the victim and me the jerk. The right one was named "Grumpy" and the left one was named "Sneezy." Which were replaced with "Dopey" and "Sleepy"

[thebadgerpilot]

Fun stuff! Has me looking forward to hopefully doing this in the future!

[stevenhorney]

Very cool to warch you go thru this training. Now that I've observed you all, am I qualified to take my check ride? 😂

[stevespra]

Nice job Bryan. What's next, doctoring license?

[dutchygirl]

This was hard to watch. Especially the last second till the full 10 minutes. Do you need at least 2 engines to have one critical engine? I'm struggling with this, as my trainer (C172) only has one engine. Or the other one is somewhere hidden. Please advise!!!

[thomasaltruda]

1:08, you’re wrong.. on the Duchess, BOTH engines are critical! Lol That’s a weird explanation of critical engine, and I’m not sure if you are serious or if it’s more satire.. what makes one engine harder to maintain directional control is the fact that the DESCENDING blade is taking a bigger bite of air (P-Factor) and the descending blade which is furthest from the centerline of the aircraft on most twins is the right engine.. so the right engine thrust centerline is further from the centerline, and it has more leverage to yaw you into VMC. Make sense?

[firepilot]

are you buying a 310 or Baron? lol We are looking at one for our next plane. Love the Cherokee 260 cause it can haul a dump truck, just wish was a twin.
