ACTUAL DUAL ENGINE FAILURE IN A CITATION JET

On May 9th 2019, a Citation Medivac Flight with 4 crew and 3 passengers would experience a DUAL engine failure. The actions of the two pilots would determine the fate of all seven on board. This is their story......

But when he commented about not wanting to hear screaming passengers in the back, I get it. Especially in a smaller cabin acft. I could envision the chaos. Great job. You can tell that's a cool cat under pressure. Great story.

    This reminded me of something when he said he had a nervous flyer on that flight. I used to do volunteer medevac flights out of Boulder County, Colorado for the company I worked for. We’d normally haul printed data and support hardware and software between various stations around the region. So one night I got a call to see if I would volunteer transport a liver transplant recipient and his wife to SLC where there was a matching donor. The guy was super cool and thankful. But his wife........she was a pain in the ass. She told us about 10 times before we had even taxied out to the departure runway how much she was afraid of flying and hated it. After we were airborne, she would scream at even the slightest bit of turbulence. At one point she was even yelling at her husband for getting her into this. I felt so bad for him. Mind you: the man was going to a hospital to get a new liver and his wife made it all about her. Lol. After we landed and as they de-planed, not even a thank you from her. But her husband said, “I’m so sorry about that”. That poor bastard. Cheers!

I am sitting here , type rated in the Citation V and when you said not knowing your systems..... yeah, I’ll admit I don’t fully know my systematic of what will, and what won’t work in the unlikely event that I will ever have to go thru a dual simultaneous engine failure... I think by the end of the month or middle of next month I will have the systems etched into my memory. I already started researching my type fuel systems. Most definitely puts things into a higher perspective for me. Baron Pilot, I’ve been following you for a couple years now, I enjoy your videos immensely & I think this one has got to be the icing on the cake. Bruce, you truly are a hero. I have never heard of anyone (other than NASA) pulling off what you did. I hope your patient was grateful even though she’s terrified of flying.

    As a retired Part 121 (heavy) A&P, I have a few observations. First, I listen to the differences on how PIC's handle EM situations on channels like VAS Aviation. Bruce, you are a "steely-eyed-missle-man" of pilots. You handled that situation like the best of the 121 drivers, NASA astronauts, etc. Second, hats off the Cessna on this aircraft. I have been of the opinion that there seems to be too much "push" on computerization/fly-by-wire in aircraft. MCAS is a prime example of that IMHO. Cable control allowed the crew to maintain positive control. Last, it is absolutely inexcusable that ground vehicle fluids were able to be contaminated into aviation fuel. When I worked in/around POL in the Air Force, we had strict proceedures to prevent this from happening. The airport authorities I've worked with, that were responsible for aviation fueling have these in place too. It would appear that the FBO (if they were the one responsible for this) was clearly negligent. There are proper protocols for them to follow. Hope the FAA drops some serious repercussions on whoever was responsible. Clearly this could've ended in disaster. Kudo's to all who worked to make this a happy ending.

    Yes, the 'housekeeping' in the fuelling operation was dreadful, there should have been procedures in place to prevent any possibility of DEF (or any associated equipment) from getting anywhere near aviation fuel. This is a scary problem when you run ground fuel systems alongside aviation fuel systems, it needs 110% focus on detail from everyone in the fuelling operation.

    Well done, Bruce!! That's an understatement. I've been looking into buying a jet and reading the POH for a Phenom 300. I'm a 30-year pilot with lots of private time, but, when I couldn't find dual engine out procedures in the book, I was quite surprised and contacted Embraer to find out where that procedure was located. They told me the same thing; it only happens due to fuel starvation or contamination...which never happens. Well, I didn't believe them when they said it and you are living proof...it happens. Seriously, well done. The sphincter-factor was must have been climbing when other stuff (altimeter) started to go off line. Getting 3-green would have been a major relief. I've experienced gear issues twice; it's not pleasant. To make it to the runway as a glider, and then land gear-up would have been satisfactory. But, tragedy averted. Not only was it piloting skill and knowing the systems, but also knowing the character of the aircraft that saved the crew, passengers, people and property on the ground, and the aircraft. Sitting here thinking what other factors might have played a factor and the only thing I can think of is winds aloft. At 8k-feet, you don't have a lot of time, but it would have been interesting to compare altitude lost at 160K glide and distance covered over (for example) 2 minutes, then at 150K Did they inform you as to their process to re-certified as airworthy?

    Didn't hear a thing about this when it first happened, glad you folks shared it! Yes, the most important thing to take away from this "Experience" is to know your aircraft, all systems associated with it & have confidence in yourself & crew member to remain calm and fly the aircraft. In years past I've had an engine oil fire in a DHC-2, an engine failure in a DHC-3, prop failure in a DHC-6, chip detector in a BE200, false engine fire alarm in a BE200, complete pressurization failure (above 18,000) in a BE200, etc. Similar situation happened in 1977. A HS-784, C-FMAK, departed YYQ and after climb power was set, both engine were cooked and a gear up forced landing was done on the ice on the Churchill River. An AME filled the water methanol tank from a drum labelled "Water Methanol" but was used to store used Varsol. You'd think people would learn! Glad it all worked out!

    Great interview. I was the A&P mechanic overseeing the fueling and was immediately questioned by the owner of the company if the Prist was added. I told him I was positive the valve was on because I had noticed the fueler forgot to turn it off after he was done fueling. Anyway I just played the video for my class of 20 students trying to get their A&P license here at Aviation Institute of Maintenance in Atlanta where I'm an Instructor and they were fascinated with the story. I shot my buddy Bruce a text letting him know. It's a cautionary tale that luckily had a happy ending.

  • @JMART887

    Diesel exhaust fluid refers to ADBLUE. In Aviation Diesel is not commonly used although it was trialed in the 1920's-1930's. Some manufacturers are designing new diesel engines for aircraft today, however ADBLUE or DEF would reduce the limited power to weight ratio already produced by diesel engines in comparison to Avgas etc. So the Acronym will never be used in Aviation specifically as "DEF". I'm only a Private Pilot becoming commercial so please correct me if I am wrong. Kind regards.

    Hi Bruce, This was a very informative video. I had a very similar experience with my son,s Chevy Duramax 1500 diesel truck. Long story short, I was sold Blue Def instead of winter fuel additive at our local parts store. My son was in the Navy, and he said to add a small amount of fuel additive in the winter. I had lo clue about a Diesel engine, much less Blue Def. The guy at the counter said”I know exactly what you need and set a full gallon of Def on the counter. I asked him if I really needed a gallon, and he said “oh yeah, you can dump the whole thing into the tank. I thanked him, and $3,870.00 later, went back to that store and got them to fess up and they paid me $2,500.00 back. Blue Def is essentially water,cow urine, and a microbial. IT DOES NOT MIX WITH ANY KIND OF FUEL. Thank God you and the souls you were responsible for came out of that safely! Happy and safe flying! Don

    Thanks gentlemen for an excellent video story. It's amazing the little tid-bits you pick up in life. I read "Chuck Yeager an Autobiography" many many years ago. Two tid-bits I gleaned from that book. The first was a lesson learned in this adventure, Knowing the Systems is Life and Death in the aircraft you are flying. One of the stories told in Yeager's book was about a test pilot who died because he did not take the time to learn the systems of the aircraft he was flying. The second tid-bit was super real for me. Yeager had broken his back in a crash and he knew instantly that he had, due to another pilot describing the feeling. When I was involved in a helicopter crash, I immediately knew I had a broken my back as Yeager's description was: "feels like a grapefruit just under your skin at the site of the injury". Unfortunately, I will probably never fly a corporate jet but, I'll never forget your story.

Only one of those became the glider in this video. The other didn't lose the 2nd engine. From what I have read thus far, when DEF and Jet Fuel are mixed, crystals form which can clog various parts of the fuel system. I just read a table suggesting that the aircraft has around a 16-17:1 glide ratio at 130 kts, zero flaps. The actual power off glide ratio might be up around 16:1, but planning for 12:1 gave a very good safety margin, 16 miles estimated at 12:1, 21 miles at 16:1. Bottom line: great piloting!
