I hope everyone is filling out Service Difficulty Reports. I went to a IA conference a few years ago, and this kind of equipment/matching/problems is something the FAA may be able to make manufactures figure out.

Hey Pierre
It's been a few years seeing you at the AG conventions I'm managing a facility for Prime Turbines in Wynne AR and not so much in sales now.
Who could for get you though.
I just had a 0470 mag drive gear failure 300 tso it seemed that the oh facility put the mag drive idler gear in backwards lost the rt and the left was very soon to go.
Safe landing and the 100% warranty was great.
If you need any pt6 work give me a call
PS sale that -20 while it's still running

The good news is the pilot did an excellent job handling this emergency. Goes to show, altitude becomes your best friend when the engine stops producing.

It was close..
 
It was so close that he landed on the numbers, just past a 300' embankment on the approach end!

Guys, practice and practice forced landings more. His engine stoppage was sudden and totally unexpected.

Agreed, Still the pilot had a Plan B. The BRS system,it's been deployed over 50 times and saved more then a few hides in Cirrus aircraft. I've always wondered why Vans didn't add one to the 14,Powerful Safety/Sales tool.
