Declared emergency
Posted: Sat Oct 20, 2007 1:24 pmI'm not sure why this C-130 had to shut down and secure an engine, but it made for quite a stir at the flight school. Hats off to the guys for making it down safely though.

Good thing they had 3 more... I'm sure it was no big deal once they secured the balky engine.

Aye, once the engine was shut down and the prop was feathered (if it hadn't automatically) it would be little different to normal, albeit with a little change to power settings and rudder trim. All made slightly better as the asymmetric effect of losing the inboard of two is the preferred(!) failure.
