Nicely done! I didn't see it elsewhere in the comments, but why Medford over Eugene? You were obviously deliberate and thoughtful in that decision, but curious as to what your thought process was.

Left engine started running rough near Eugene and that is when I turned towards Eugene with that as my first thought to land at while I sorted things out, Engine was still producing power with just the #3 cylinder showing lower Temps but still producing full RPM and power, roughness smoothed for a while as I mentioned to ATC so I turned towards Medford with the intention of turning back towards Eugene if things got worse knowing that I also I had Roseburg on the route, then halfway between Eugene and Medford while I was still running on both engines oil started spewing out on the cowling as the increased crankcase pressure from the #3 cylinder blew out an oil seal on the vacuum pump, so I waited until the oil pressure was at the bottom of the green arc and then decided to shut down and feather the left engine and continue straight ahead to Medford instead of turning around for Eugene because we I had plenty of altitude and speed to make Medford or diverting to Roseburg , Myrtle Creek, Springbrook and Grants Pass on the way to Medford. The 421C fully loaded which I was not can maintain 14.000 feet on one engine hence the decision to land Medford.

@@Jerry.Wagner Good job. My only concern with Medford over Eugene is terrain and field elevation. Medford would not be as friendly to a single engine go around should it have become necessary. The field elevation and terrain in Medford would make that a challenge in a 421. Eugene would have actually been the better option. Easy for an arm chair quarterback, of course, but thought I'd throw that out there.

Man, I'm so glad I was not in his position. Having to make a quick decision under pressure is impossible for a young man like me with anxiety disorder and ADHD. Huge props to Jerry for selecting the safest landing spot. God bless these folks who go through high stakes scenarios. :)

Wow Jerry, excellent job. Your wife handled it pretty well too. Don't be upset with her for talking, she's trying to process what's going on and be calm for you. It was pretty easy to see you were ramped up a few notches, even if your voice didn't reveal it. Now, that all the platitudes are done, "Don't do that to me again". My heart can't take it!!!

I love the wife's commentary...."you can't stuck a valve out of it"!! LOL!! I know the stress and thoughts going through your mind, and the wife seems calm as can be. Good for her.

Nice job staying calm and flying the plane. Declaring an emergency usually gets the heart rate up, adrenaline up and the pucker meter jumping. You handled that perfectly. Glad it all ended well and everyone is safe.

The beauty of a twin, maintaining flight to an airfield during an engine failure versus landing on a field or road. Glad you landed safe and well done! Thanks for the share.

I'm sure lots of student pilots working toward their multi-engine rating will watch this video in the future. Great job. Looks like you used no flaps.

Well done Jerry! I fly the DC-10 air tanker out of MCC, and sometimes I hear you on Nor-Cal. Glad you, Nancy and plane are safe. We have a 340 we are rehabbing and started watching your channel to pick up some twin Cessna tips. I have learned a bunch about twin Cessnas from your content. Keep up the good work. Happy you made it safely.

Great decision making Jerry. The power of the twin made it a lot safer of a situation. Better to have 2 engine than 1. Glad your all safe

Glad you both are safe and sound Jerry!! You always talk about the power of the twin, sure glad you had the right engine to get you safely to the runway!!

Jerry - this is a great training tool for others to see and learn from. Well done.

So glad you and Nancy landed safely. Thank you for sharing your experience, while you made it look easy I’m sure you were under a LOT of pressure! Take care, looking forward to hearing what caused left engine problem as you find out more.

Jerry , thanks for sharing all your years of flying and training shows how safe you are ,

Great Job Jerry! Cool, Calm, Collected and by the numbers all the way to the maint shop :) Glad to know you both arrived safely and appreciate you sharing this vid!

Wow! You two are so calm.

Glad you two are safe ! Thanx for sharing Jerry 😊

Terrific video, glad it all worked out. Great you kept your cool 🤗

I'd MUCH rather hear about an emergency on your channel than on Dan Gryder or Juan Brown's channels. You handled this emergency perfectly. Thank goodness for redundancy! :D

That was really smart to tell the whole sequence of events to ATC so they have it on record if things go bad. I never would have thought to do that. Great work!

Wow!!! Nicely done sir. That'll definitely wake you up, but you were as cool as a cucumber. Glad you're both safe.

Hey Jerry, Glad everything worked out so well, just like you always say “good to have two engines”. Keep us posted on the repairs please. Best of luck

Well done, you two ❤ Thanks for posting!

Excellent job Jerry. Calm, great decision making and no hesitation in declaring an emergency. Your years of experience were most evident. I hope your repairs get done in a timely manner. Stay safe.

You're an inspiration Jerry. Good job staying calm.

Wow that was amazing how your guys was so calm and effective. God bless your safe. Great job Jerry

What amazing job! Glad to know you both are well. Thanks for sharing!

Man: damn there is oil spill everywhere, half engine power, hopefully I make it down and live. Woman: I am going to be late for dinner and it's damn hot in here. Turn the damn AC on. Glad you made it down safe. Thanks for sharing.

great job and I'm glad you are both safe! Thx for sharing the video.

Way to go! Glad both of you are safe and sound!

i see how zen you became with the aircraft when you started getting closer to the field thats something only a professional can do, the way you thought an made priority's is text book, well done sir.

You did a great job. My dad flew a 421c for 15 years 58ZP had 3 engine failures nose gear failure and a split flap failure

Edge of my seat Jerry. Great job. Thanks for the narration.

Cool, calm and collected!! You folks are amazing. God bless you.

Hey Jerry! Ryan from the FWR show! Wow captain! Amazing job! I’m so happy to have found your channel. The only concern I would raise to anyone training, is that the A/c in your airplane is Hydrulic…… that runs from a pump attached to your accessory case. When that Ac runs it does create resistance on the engine to the tune of 75 rpm if your engines are the GTSIO….your airplane is my absolute Cessna every created! With that said. In a condition where VMC is possible. The 414, 421, 441, are not friendly in VMC, Even with the built in assist…….. the importance of this video is incredible, thank you so much for posting it, I hope I made a new friend! 😊

flight sim enthusiast here, i watched every minute of this and loved it. i know it wasn't the best circumstance for yourselves but you sure seemed like you did a good job. new sub here. i think ill enjoy seeing how the "real" pilots do it and will help add a bit of context to my sim trips. cheers

Nicely done. Calm at all times and Nancy handled it very well.

Well done Jerry. Glad you guys made it in safe and sound. This is a great example of how it should be done. You, ATC, Tower, Fire. It doesn't get much better than this. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. This will be helpful to someone (maybe me) some day.

That is the way you do it. Know your plane. Know how to fly it. Good job.

Very calm, but decisive focus demeanor and professionalism. Great job and your wife handled the situation very calmly. Over and out from Piqua Ohio.

This is why I watch you. I learn something every singal time. Today I Learned calmness under pressure. Outstanding job sir! I hope to shake your hand some day.....

Nicely done...handling the emergency AND doing the video!

Calm and professional. Well done. Having that extra engine is well worth the investment.

Glad you guys made it and landed on a good runway! Very interesting watching how smoothly you handled the in-flight emergency! Your wife was having full faith that you would be landing without a problem! In spite of a few non-priority questions she did awesome handling the situation! Most wives would have been panicking if this type of failure occurred!

Glad you're both safe! Well done!

I'm really glad you got her down safely Jerry! Nice flying!! 👍 Sucks to have your plane down for weeks and lord knows how much $$$$$ later! I'll be watching for your follow up.

Well done Jerry, nothing like a little "mayday" to put some "excitement" into the flying experience !

Good job, I thought my wife was the only one with 64 questions 3 miles out or when talking to ATC 😂

Great job Captain. I am glad everything went okay. 🤙Love your videos thank you for sharing your experience.

Excellent handling and congratulatiins for your presence of mibd in giving us a lecture during just such an emergency. It would be interesting to hear your feedback on what you would have done had this problem presented itself at takeoff which clearly a lot more complications.

OUCH, broken piston! That's going to leave a mark!!! Jerry the calm, cool and collected master at the controls!!! Gr8 job!

My instinct would have been to immediately look for the closest appropriate airport given the terrain and the fact that you're now a single engine twin.

Good job Jerry. Very cool under a stressful situation. Very fortunate that happened in flight and not on T/O. Remember, if you lose an engine on T/O, first move is to "PUSH".

Solid flight management in the face of the unexpected. Thanks for the learning experience and for posting.,

Glad you're safe! Love watching your videos. Hope some day I can own my own golden eagle :) but for now I'll enjoy watching you! Hope everything turns out okay

I had an engine out on climb out at about 11,000ft in a Navajo in 1987 from Milan Linate in severe clear VMC. Diverted to Torino and landed w/o problems after an ILS in visual conditions. Was happy we were not over the Alps yet though 😅 Good job !

Good Job Jerry! kept your cool and landed safely.

I just lost an engine in my pressurized Baron 2 Saturdays ago at FL180. My wife, 2 kids and her mother on board. I was on my way to Kissimmee from WV. While over the ocean, IMC, I lost my turbo on my left engine and then the oil pressure kept going down. I did an engine shut down and landed at Daytona International. Of course, Daytona race weekend. All went well but my wallet. I had and oil line rupture. Odd we both had a critical engine losses within a week apart. We both were winners! No one hurt, no bent metal.

Nice job Jerry. You were handling the situation very cool and calmly. Boy that piston looked banged up. I’ll be anxious to see what they find inside. Should be an easy fix. A new lung and piston and you’ll be on the roll again. If there’s anything suspicious they’ll have to dig deeper. Cross your fingers. Nice job getting that wounded bird down. You know what they say “Any landing you can walk away from was a good landing.

“ engine failures are a rare occurrence that almost never happens. The second engine just takes you to the scene of the crash” - every single engine plane owner ever

Nicely done! The most accurate comment during the entire experience: "Your life is more important than a few dollars." That is absolutely right. I completely applaud and respect your decision-making right there. That is the greatest sign of an experienced, mature, and wise person. Good on you for that!

Great job Jerry--outstanding how you prioritized about 1) not changing anything that was currently working, and that 2) didn't need to be addressed right at point.
