Whipped Cream Difficulties

Two quasi-general aviation themed videos today.

First up, from AVWeb: “Why Aircraft Engines Quit”.

Spoiler: I may just be naive, or not terribly smart, but I was frankly surprised that 29% of the time, the answer is “Dunno”.

This one is longer, but I wanted to put it up for two reasons: both McThag and I wrote about the Snowbirds accident when it happened, so I wanted to follow up here.

The second reason is, while the accident report has been released, the full report is apparently not available on the Internet: only the “Epilogue” to the report, which I am linking here.

For a copy of the full report, media are asked to contact Media Relations at the Department of National Defence.

C.W. Lemoine posted his analysis of the report, which is about 45 minutes long, and which I have not had a chance to watch all the way through yet. He did manage to get a copy of the full report.

If you want to skip to his summary of the findings, it starts at about 33:16.
