G'day Fellow Pilots,

This video is a recreation of an actual Air Crash Investigation involving a Beechcraft Duchess BE76. The Pilot, who held a Private Pilot License with over 2,100 hours, suffered an engine failure during a Multi-Engine Commercial Checkride. The Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE) took control and landed the aircraft with the Landing Gear in the retracted position. NTSB Aircraft Accident Investigation Case ERA17LA077.

On December 30th 2016, a Private Pilot doing his Multi-Commercial Checkride flew a Beechcraft Duchess BE76 from Crystal River Airport (KCGC) to Marion County Airport (X35) for the purpose of conducting a Multi-Engine Commercial Checkride. The engine failure simulations all went according to plan. However an actual engine failure took place on take-off from Marion County Airport (X35) bound for Crystal River Airport (KCGC) where the flight originated.

The Pilot demonstrated a Short Field Take-Off from RWY 05 at Marion County Airport, only to suffer an actual engine failure of the Right Engine at 100 feet above the ground (AGL). After retracting the gear there was a loud thud and the Right Engine failed almost immediately.

The Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE) determined there was not enough performance to clear the obstacles, so he took control of the aircraft and landed it with the gear up on the grass east of RWY 05.

The aircraft suffered substantial damage as a result of the wheels up landing, however neither occupant was injured. There was no fire at the scene either.

The FAA Inspector examined the Right Engine to discover the Single-Drive Dual magneto had separated from the accessory pad and was laying in the engine compartment. The two nuts and clamps used to attach the magneto to the mounting studs were missing. The mounting studs appeared undamaged.

The NTSB investigation findings concluded the most recent 100 Hourly inspection, conducted 27 flight hours prior to the accident, was inadequate. The inspection failed to detect and correct loose nuts on a single-drive dual magneto. This is led to the subsequent separation of the magneto from the engine during the initial climb and total loss of engine power.

G'day Fellow Pilots,

This video is a recreation of an actual Air Crash Investigation involving a Beechcraft Duchess BE76. The experienced pilot, with over 1,500 hours, landed with the Landing Gear in the retracted position. NTSB Aircraft Accident Investigation Case GAA18CA239.

On April 27th 2018, two experienced flight instructors flew a Beechcraft Duchess BE76 from Nut Tree Airport (KVCB) for the purpose of training the Pilot in a Multi-Engine and retractable gear aircraft for the first time.

The conditions were VFR, with wind 210 / 9 knots and the visibility was very good. The pilot under instruction elected to use RWY 20.

The Flight Instructor had approximately 912 hours total flight time. The pilot under instruction, who is also a qualified Flight Instructor, had approximately 1,531 hours total flight time. Although this is the Pilots first time operating a Multi-Engine aircraft and experience with a Retractable Gear System onboard the aircraft.

On the downwind leg of the traffic pattern, as part of the introduction to Multi-Engine aircraft, the Flight Instructor asked the Pilot to shutdown the Left Engine to simulate a Single-Engine Emergency Landing. The Pilot asked a series of questions during the procedure.The aircraft landed with the Landing Gear still in the retracted position.

The Flight Instructor reported that they both had become distracted and forgot to extend the landing gear.

Neither the Flight Instructor or the Pilot were injured, however the aircraft sustained substantial damage. There was no fire as a result of the wheels up landing.

The NTSB investigation findings concluded that the accident happened as a result of the Pilot failing to extend the Landing Gear. Also, the Flight Instructors inadequate supervision and failure to ensure the landing gear was extended.

G'day Fellow Pilots,

This video is a recreation of an actual Aircraft Accident Investigation involving a Beechcraft Duchess BE76 running off the side of the runway and suffering a nose gear collapse.

During a Biennial flight review, the flight instructor simulated a Left Engine failure during the take-off roll by pulling the Left Mixture lever to idle cut-off. The Left engine stopped as expected, however the pilot did not react quickly enough, nor did the flight instructor. The instructor tried to pull the mixture on the Right Mixture lever, however his hand missed the Right Mixture lever. Resulting in a loss of directional control.

Neither of the pilots onboard were injured, nor was there any fire. However the aircraft fuselage suffered substantial damage.The flight instructor reported that there were no pre-accident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airframe or engines.

The NTSB investigation findings concluded that the accident happened as a result of the pilot not maintaining directional control during the simulated Left engine failure on the take-off roll. Also the Flight Instructors delayed remedial action to maintain directional control and reduce the Right engine mixture control contributed.

How to Fly and configure a G1000 aircraft to fly a NDB approach without ADF onboard your aircraft. It is quite straight forward using the GPS, OBS and bearing pointers to fly the approach. It is a lot easier than flying the traditional NDB approach using the older style 6 pack instrumentation with a fixed card ADF.

This approach plate is NOT to be used for navigation purposes. By the time you watch this video, the approach procedure may very well have changed. Always use current instrument approach charts when flying.

In reality, your unlikely to fly the NDB approach when you can fly a GPS RNAV approach into the same airport instead. However, now you know how to fly a NDB approach in an aircraft with the G1000 instrumentation.
