DA 42 NG Demonstration Engine Failure during Takeoff

############################# Video Source: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQeBHSsL56o

For demonstration of the single engine flight characteristics following an engine failure shortly after take-off, a series of tests were conducted with cutting the engine at various heights, starting from 50ft down to rotation. A successful land-back was demonstrated in all instances, with a subsequent demonstration of a safe continued flight after an engine failure at 50ft. • • All engine failures had docile handling characteristics and required no exceptional piloting skill. • • Tested in Graz, Austria (LOWG) with a DA 42 NG test aeroplane. The algae and EADS decals were still present from unrelated, earlier tests. • • • Disclaimer * • Flight Test routinely operates its test aeroplanes outside normal operational limits. This is done only after careful consideration of the effect, and implementation of mitigating limitations and procedures. • The manoeuvres does not constitute an endorsement from Diamond Aircraft to operate the aeroplane in a similar manner.
