Friends, not Thorp related unless you consider that engines even in T-18s can falter. Just thought I would invite y'all, should you be interested in attending. I presented this as a seminar at Oshkosh last year (2021) to a nearly full house.
"Power Loss at 300 Feet- What Went Wrong, What Went Right"
Presented by Philip Mandel, CFI-I MEI, AGI, IGI (that's me!)
January 19th, 2022 at 8:00 PM Eastern!! Be sure to convert for your time zone.
"CFI Philip Mandel and his primary student lost all engine oil and experienced significant power loss at 300 feet AGL over Vancouver, Washington, off Pearson Field (KVUO) in April, 2019. With the help of dash-cam video that captured the event, Philip will share lessons learned from the scariest two minutes of his life. He says he did more things wrong than right, yet still managed to nurse the Beech Musketeer back to the field and land opposite direction without bending anything."
